Well it took nearly thirty years, but we are BACK!!!
.In May 1994, we wrapped up one year on the radio as Fire Radio called it a day. Interesting was that we had agreed to move the show to KSLQ in Washington, Missouri renaming it “Jesus Solid Rock”. There were a couple of shows by the same name back in the 70s when Jesus Music was making headway in the consciousness of radio listeners especially rock music lovers. The general manager of KYMC, Fire Radio’s home at the time, asked me to stay and become the stations underwriter sales guy. I agreed on the condition that I could have a morning show, every morning, for three hours Monday through Friday. It was agreed and I stayed put.
But God had other plans.
After signing an agreement to my new assignment at KYMC, I had a serious car accident that derailed everything and sent me to the hospital. A broken neck in two places, a broken back and bruised ribs… and a totaled car, God stopped me dead in my tracks. No income led to losing my residence.
Long story short, I wandered for the next 28 years waiting to see if God would use me again in radio… or did I blow it with Him by changing my mind in 1994? No, He is not a human and He doesn’t hold grudges against His children when they don’t know which way He wants us to go. He is patient and kind…and helps us find the way back. He never casts us off. This is the kind of God I want to reflect in my life. Know this, the devil will try his best to cause havoc and sow confusion. He will bust up relationships and friendships that were promising to God and His will for our lives. Many people will think that you are nuts, crazy, out of sorts. If only they could see, really see, what’s going on, It’s not you, it’s God using the devil to bring you full circle to His will. You may lose friends along the way. Friends that do not have a spiritual mindset and/or might be quick to judge and cast you aside.
Just know that God understands and will heal your heart. He will restore everything that you lost, bigger and better.
That brings us here to October 2022. I am working on bringing a new Christian Rock Music Radio Show to KSLQ 104.5 FM in west metro St. Louis on Sunday mornings 8am to 9am. Give us a listen while you are getting ready to meet up with the church or even download and play whenever you wish.
Above all, let’s glorify the Lord and look forward to His return!
You think that’s what happened in your relationships, etc.. If you had kept your commitment? Do you think that was consequences, or just life as it was to bring you back around all these years later to his original purpose or plan? AWFULLY, long lesson…or rerouting things and people. Putting in and taking out that which he didn’t want? Curious, had he revealed to you.
I don’t think it’s so much as consequences, but that the Lord had to take me through a very long 40 days in the wilderness to get to where I needed to be in order to be of best service to the Kingdom.
In my Bible study today at Hardee’s I came across the word hardship several times in Paul’s letter to Timothy. Paul endured hardship and he advised Timothy to endure hardship. I think all that are called to follow in Jesus’s steps and be of service to the kingdom at Large needs to understand that hardship is commanded for those who are going to share the gospel.
