Why are you working in radio? “Radio has a way of connecting with its audience in a personal, intimate way.

At The Z, that connection can lead the listener to a connection, a relationship, with a loving Savior, and that’s what matters more than anything. “

Why are you working in radio? “I felt called to work in ministry radio at the end of High School. During 9th grade I went through a season of doubt and depression, and one of the things that helped me through it was the ministry of Christian Radio. The Djs would say just the right thing or play the song I needed to hear at that very moment to encourage me and point me to God’s love. I felt God was calling me to serve in the ministry that spoke life into me so I could help encourage people as well.

Aren’t you worth more than they?
