Why Joe decided to leave the teaching profession, and how his wife was the catalyst for him getting a job at a local Christian radio station The importance of pausing and analyzing your purpose in life Joe’s move into leadership roles and why he enjoys it so much The messaging Chris found himself focusing on in the media and radio arena How Hope Media Group evolved and dealt with the COVID-19 pandemic and Chris’s plans for the future Why challenges force us to trust God, which in turn leads to healthy obedience, and how that cycle allows us to grow When Joe realized that he is used by the Lord for a season in a position, and when it's time to go to the next role, that he needs to relinquish his current position with an open hand The importance of experiencing the joy of a relationship with God before we can invite other people to experience that
