    A Man with A Message - Bro. Kenneth Bobo

    In this episode, I sit down with Bro. Kenneth Bobo, a man who has faithfully preached the Gospel of Jesus Christ for over 65 years.  We talk about his early days growing up in rural Arkansas, his call to the ministry, how he met his sweet wife, Mrs. Shirley, and many other things related to his ministry.  Bro. Kenneth has preached more than 600 revival services spanning over multiple states and into two foreign countries.  I have no doubt whatsoever that one day Bro. Kenneth will hear Jesus say these words: "Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things.  Enter into the joy of your Lord."  (Matthew 25:21) An amazing man who has lived a life faithfully serving his Lord.  I hope you enjoy this episode.

    Dusting Off The Microphones

    In this episode, I dust off the microphones with two former guests who just happen to be my neighbors and guys that I call friends.  There wasn't much of a script for this episode, we just went with the flow and shared a few stories along the way.

    The CALL

    In this episode, I sit down with Holli Boyett and Mandy McLelland who are both county coordinators for The CALL, a Christian non-profit organization that offers support to foster children and foster families throughout Arkansas.   They share information about The CALL, the many ways you can support the organization and the immediate need for foster families in our area and throughout our state. The CALL is an Arkansas organization but there are certainly other organizations like it throughout the United States.   A simple internet search can lead you to similar organizations in your state.
