Why There is Hope Radio?
First off There is Hope was on the air in the Seattle, WA market for 5-1/2 years. It originally started as a two-hour live talk show focusing on addiction and recovery. Later one it was a one-hour live talk show focusing on a variety of topics.
in the year 2023 and in 2024, I felt strong that I was supposed to do radio again. And the main reason was I felt like there needed to be a radio show where biblical principles are shared, how to live according to the principles found in scripture, how to manifest more of the character of Christ instead of the character of Satan, individuals truly being coming born again instead of claiming to know Jesus but living differently.
And so there was a lot of different things that was in my heart and felt like there was a need for a radio show that would address them. But there were no radio stations available. I checked all kinds of different areas to see if there was any state radio station that I could purchase airtime and there were none available that I contacted. And so I just kind of gave up on going back on the air of doing There is Hope radio. But I felt strongly that there needed to be a radio show that could be a Let's Get Real radio show that could address a variety of issues that's going on in our culture today. And then I became aware more of the Fairfield Bay drama and more of what was taking place. And I saw there was ungodly actions, ungodly words, behavior taking place. I just saw a lot of turmoil, a lot of disunity. And I felt strongly the answer is the gospel.The answer is biblical principles. And so I decided to look again to see if there was any airtime available of any radio station.
Why is There is Hope Radio on Timeless Radio, KFFB, 106.1 FM?
As I looked for a radio station that sold airtime I found out that on KFFB in Fairfield Bay, there was one time slot available at 9:30 on Sunday mornings. Now that wasn't a time slot I wanted to choose. That wasn't a day I wanted to choose. But because it was the only time and slot available and the only station I could find that was selling any kind of airtime, I chose to contact KFFB and made an agreement to be on the air from 9:30 to 9:45 on KFFB 106.1. Another reason I made that decision is because KFFB covers much of central Arkansas. So it's a radio station that has a broad reach in Arkansas. And so I feel that was that was a God led thing to get connected with KFFB.
There is Hope Radio Topics
At the same time as I was considering going back into doing a radio show I became very aware of all the drama in the city of Fairfield Bay, AR that was reflective of all that is taking place across America. It was clear to me that someone needs to address these issues, so here are some of the topics we have covered on There is Hope Radio. Bearing False Witness, True Repentance, Attitudes, Words and Behavior, Honesty, Integrity and Transparency, Walking Out God's Love. What is Love? True Salvation, Healthy Communication, Addressing Issues, The Spirit of Pettiness, Unforgiveness. So as you can see, we're covering some tough subjects.
The Word of God, Power of the Holy Spirit, Prayer
I absolutely believe the preaching of Biblical Principles, the Gospel, the Power of the Holy Spirit, and Prayer can change lives and transform communities. There is Hope?
