Atomic Arena was the second Studio album released by Christian Metal Band Barren Cross. Released in 1988 and published by Enigma Records, this album had a lot going for it. Consisting of 10 tracks produced with the help of the Elefante brothers from Kansas and tackling social issues that the world still deals with today such as the evils of abortion, suicide, temptations of the world and the false doctrine of cults all while using Christ’s Love
as the answer to these problems.

One of my biggest issues with the Christian music Industry is when they never bring up Jesus’s name or address God in their music but Barren Cross Delivers in this album. I think that every track in this album is solid but the ones I like most would be in no particular order “Living Dead”, "In the eye of the Fire” and "Close to the Edge”. Overall a very Solid Album and would very much recommend giving a listen but what is your favorite track? Let me Know on The KMTM Lunchbox Block!

December has been a notoriously hard month for alcoholics and addicts alike. During our addiction, many of us have lost so much, stolen from us, or traded for a moment of numbness and escape with hopes that our sickness would be fed for just another day. We traded precious moments with family and friends, because we suffered from a problem that is not fully understood by most people, but God understands. When we are early in recovery, we realize and learn we have been disconnected from God, who is our source of everything good, so given this truth we begin to see the why of it. The definition of the term malady is disconnection, so when we hear that the addict suffers from a spiritual malady as referenced from the A.A. Big Book, that's where we understand we have disconnected ourselves from the source! Biblically, hell can accurately be described as eternal separation from God, sounds kind of similar if you ask me. From my perspective addiction was an absolute living hell. I had absolutely no control over my life and my decisions, as if I was being driven by a force that was not myself. I remember the struggle and constant battle of truly wanting to stop, to change, to live again, only to day in and day out relive the same cold hard truth, I didn't know if that was truthfully possible anymore. I was defeated in a way that I had never known before. It was in that defeated state that I surrendered. I have always accepted Jesus, but I had never allowed Him to save me. I was always thinking about life on my terms, effectively rechaining myself to every bond, He was willing to
break. There is a line in the Life Recovery Meeting opening comments that says: We believe that addiction and other problematic behaviors are symptoms of our human behavior- attempting to live life apart from God's plan. I love that line because for me it's as true as it gets, and I am sure I'm not the only one. So I invite you this Holiday season, to try something different. I invite you to learn the steps that can give you a working relationship with God, one that through Jesus, has the power to transform your life and perspective completely. So I ask, will you accept the Christmas Miracle???

Finally, after a year of emails, text messages, Facebook Messenger, and phone interviews, I was going to meet another great Outlaw Country artist, Greg Marlow.

I first heard of Greg when I found some of his music on social media. I watched the video for "2nd Chances" over a year ago when we started the radio station KTFR. I contacted Greg, and our relationship began.

This morning, as I drove to one of my favorite Ma & Pa restaurants to meet with Greg, I
already had an image of him from his videos: long gray hair, overalls, and a ballcap.
Well, I had the hair and ballcap correct and was a little bit in shock that he was wearing
blue jeans! This is why we never look at the outside of someone, and I was about to get
to experience what was in the man. I am so glad I was able to have a Cup of Joe with
Greg Marlow.

Greg and I sat at that restaurant for nearly two hours, having breakfast, drinking coffee,
and laughing. Greg, who is an amazing Outlaw artist, started out in Bluegrass. I promise
not to hold that against him, since he has some of his classic Bluegrass being converted
to the Outlaw sound—I hope in the near future!

If there is one thing I found out this morning, it is the heart of this Outlaw. Greg's song "2nd Chances" is a testimony song. I don’t have the space to put everything, but I will say that as we sat there and Greg shared his heart, I knew I was in the presence of someone who had one goal in life, and that is to hear Jesus say: "Well done, good and faithful Servant.” Greg has a heart to share the gospel and use the talents that God has placed in him, allowing those that God has put in his path, such as the original Godfather of Outlaw
Gospel, Cody McCarver, to guide him. Greg gave a lot of credit to Cody on how he had
directed him and been upfront in Greg's music and videos, providing great support and
help. Don’t we all need a guy like that in our corner?

Greg had to get back to West Plains, but wanted me to hear a song or two that he had
talked about, and of course, the DJ in me loves to hear the song before it is finalized or
released. It makes the story behind the song even better when you get to hear the story
in progress. I jumped in this Outlaw's traveling Jukebox and enjoyed the music and the
stories, especially Greg's Godly passion talking about the upcoming songs and videos.

If you have not heard of this guy, Greg Marlow, you need to tune into KTFR to listen,
and ROKU on CAYA-MTM to watch his videos. I'm going to part with something Greg
shared with me (and this is not a direct quote): A friend of Greg's had passed away, and
he listened to Greg's song "2nd Chances" every night before he died. Greg will be
singing that song at this man's funeral. Singing in the circle at the Grand Ole Opry was a
huge honor for Greg, explained to me, and I can understand that—I had the honor to
stand there as well. But Greg continued, "it is nothing like the honor of singing his song '2nd Chances' at his friend's funeral, because his friend got the message."

As 2025 comes to a close and 2026 draws near, many of us will make new years resolutions. I’ve never been one for this sort of thing, but in the 23/24 season I did.

I had spent 2023 focused solely on saving the money I needed to get into the studio to record the album I had been called to make some 9 years prior. I did not attend church even once in 2023. I had to earn money. I had to save money. I spent most of that year in the semi working and saving. By the last weeks of 2023, I was unhealthy, had no savings, and was spiritually empty. I was in the midst of a 3 week fight against relapse. I had to make changes, so I made some new years resolutions. The first resolution was to attend church; No working on Sunday, unless it was after church and absolutely necessary. The second was to put some focus on living a healthier lifestyle. The third was to pay off my credit card debt. Lastly, the album would be completed in 2024. Amazingly, I accomplished all of these things. I had fulfilled my call.

I won’t be making any resolutions this year. I’ll just try to improve in all areas of my life and continue to serve God as He directs me.

I’ll leave you with this tidbit to take into 2026.

Paraphrasing President Kennedy: Ask not what your Saviour can do for you, ask what you can do for His Kingdom.

Have you ever found yourself keeping score when it comes to forgiveness, thinking, "I'll forgive them this time, but if they do it again..."? This natural human tendency to put limits on grace reveals a spiritual struggle that can hinder our relationship with God and limit His power in our lives. 
In Matthew 18:21, Peter approached Jesus with a seemingly generous question: "Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Till seven times?" Peter thought he was being magnanimous, as Jewish teaching suggested forgiving someone three times was sufficient. 
Jesus’ response shattered all human calculations: "I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven." This wasn't a literal mathematical formula, but rather Jesus' way of saying forgiveness should be limitless.

When we count our acts of forgiveness, we reveal a troubling scorekeeping mentality that extends to our entire relationship with God. Many believers unconsciously put limits on their spiritual growth, setting comfortable boundaries and refusing to step beyond them, even when God is calling them to greater things. 
Jesus illustrated this principle with the Parable of the Unpayable Debt. A servant owed his king 10,000 talents—an impossible debt. The king, showing incredible mercy, forgave the entire debt. Yet, this same servant immediately went out and had a fellow servant thrown into prison over a debt of just a few dollars.

Remember the freedom you felt when the weight of sin was lifted off your shoulders? That freedom is still available. Christ gave you freedom; do not let people, circumstances, or even your own thoughts put chains back on you. 
God has amazing plans for each of us, but until we stop limiting Him with our conditions and comfort zones, we will struggle with the same issues. The question isn't whether God is ready to move in your life. The question is: Are you ready to take that next step? 
The real cost of spiritual growth is dying to what the flesh wants and moving forward in the Spirit. It's about denying ourselves and following Christ, even when it's uncomfortable. 
Examine your heart for areas where you’ve been keeping score. Choose to release that debt, just as God released yours. Stop putting conditions on your relationship with God and allow Him to take you to the next level of spiritual growth and authority. 
Remember, God's grace toward you was extravagant and limitless. Now it's time to extend that same grace to others and to yourself, breaking free from the bondage of unforgiveness and stepping into the fullness of what God has planned for your life.

At Christmas we celebrate one of the greatest stories ever told, as God sent Jesus as a baby to a humble set of parents in an even more humble situation, and His sinless life began. One day this precious child would die for the sins of the world and become the savior of all mankind. Truly, Jesus is the greatest gift! Our Christmas celebrations might include cookies, candy, decorations, presents, time with family, and maybe some holiday movies. Everyone wants warm, happy feelings for the holidays. Hallmark magic is in the air.

This may be an unpopular opinion, but I actually don’t like Hallmark movies. It seems like they all have the same plot, and if you’ve seen one you’ve seen them all. You know what I do like instead? Stories with relatable characters who may meet the holiday season with their own struggles, but they soon remember the joy that comes from the gift of Jesus. I’m not trying to take anyone’s Hallmark movies away from them, so if you like them, I hope you get to watch as many as you want!

I do have some Christian fiction recommendations if you’d like to check them out to enjoy a different kind of uplifting story.

Kiss Me on Christmas by Sarah Monzon: A single mother with a neurodivergent son makes an unlikely but welcome friendship.
This and Every Christmas by Jaycee Weaver: A Christmas-obsessed family’s annual tradition leads to something special for the oldest daughter.

Holly and Nick Hate Christmas by Betsy St. Amant: When two Grinches are set up, they try out out-hate Christmas, and hijinks ensue.

Coming out on February 20, 2026, is the sequel to the award-winning movie I Can Only Imagine, which was based on the true story of the hit song by MercyMe. The first movie told the story of the chart-topping hit for MercyMe. A story of pain and redemption, focused on Bart Millers’ upbringing and the struggles he dealt with his abusive father. The sequel takes on the story and message of their song Even If.

This is the synopsis from www.icanonlyimagine.com : After the breakout success of the song “I Can Only Imagine,” MercyMe’s Bart Millard (John Michael Finley) is living the dream—sold-out arenas, a devoted fan base, and a thriving career. But behind the spotlight, Bart’s past threatens the family he’s built, especially the fragile bond with his son, Sam (Sammy Dell). When hopeful newcomer Tim Timmons (Milo Ventimiglia, “This Is Us”) joins the band for their biggest tour yet, he unknowingly brings a renewed gratitude to Bart’s life through their unlikely friendship. Bart soon discovers that Tim carries hardships—and secrets—of his own, forcing him to face his past and repair his relationships with Sam and his wife, Shannon (Sophie Skelton), before fame costs him what matters most.

Based on the heartfelt true story behind the hit single “Even If,” I CAN ONLY IMAGINE 2 is the inspiring next chapter of faith, family, and finding God in the fire.

Directed by Andrew Erwin and Brent McCorkle, written by Brent McCorkle, and starring John Michael Finley, Milo Ventimiglia, Sophie Skelton, Arielle Kebbel, Sammy Dell with Trace Adkins and Dennis Quaid.

One of the things I love most about KTFR—other than listening to music that blends a powerful Gospel message with that classic Country sound—is the community we are building. I truly enjoy being on-air and playing songs from such amazing artists, but in the quiet moments off-air, I love to pull up the analytics and just "nerd out" on the numbers! There is something incredible about seeing new states tune in and watching the listenership grow. It confirms that the music and the preaching are touching lives.

It thrills my heart to know that from our small town of Forsyth, Missouri, we are partnering with artists and preachers to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ across the globe. This is truly what the Body of Christ is all about. Just the other day, a listener from Wisconsin shared how our programming has encouraged her and how God uses this station to uplift her spirit. To every artist, preacher, podcaster, prayer warrior, and supporter who gives of their finances and time: Thank you. Thank you for sharing your heart and your love.

Together, we are reaching the world and encouraging it. We are spreading the Gospel, one country at a time, one soul at a time.

The holiday season has officially arrived on KMTM’s "Morning Horizon Show with Dennon & Joe." A special December lineup will be dedicated to festive cheer, community positivity, and historical remembrance.

Throughout the month, the popular morning duo will be shifting their format to feature an all-Christmas music playlist. While the soundtrack may be changing, we assure you that The Morning Horizon Show will still be contagious with laughter and "good news."

A highlight of the month’s programming is scheduled for December 8, when the show will present a Pearl Harbor Remembrance Special.

This unique broadcast aims to transport listeners back in time, blending the nostalgia of Golden Age holiday classics with a respectful discussion regarding the history of World War II.

The "Morning Horizon Show with Dennon & Joe" airs Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. CST on KMTM.

What do you think of when you hear the word, "Christmas?" I think of the different sounds and smells of the holiday season. Even the air outside has a different feel to it during the month of December. The best way I can describe it is a general feeling of joy and happiness. Everyone seems just a little kinder, even amidst the hustle and bustle of the holiday season. Some of my favorite Christmas memories have to do with different sounds and smells of the season.

Every year when I was a kid, my family and I would have two Christmas celebrations: one at my dad's parents' home and one at the home of my mom's parents. I can vividly remember the smell of my Grandmother's chocolate pie when she'd get it out of the oven and how delicious it would taste. I remember my Grandad asking the blessing before everyone would eat and how he would thank God for the reason for the Christmas holiday, the birth of Christ in the manger in Bethlehem. After eating, we would all go into the den and exchange gifts. My Grandad would put a bow from one of the presents on his head and everyone would laugh.

When we would eat at my mom's parents home, my Nana's turkey and dressing were always very delicious. As soon as I walked through the door, the smell of food cooking would fill the room. We would eat and exchange gifts and visit together.

Some of my other favorite Christmas memories involved Christmas songs. I always enjoyed listening to Do You Hear What I Hear by Third Day and Mercy Me's rendition of Silent Night. Another favorite Christmas song was Away in a Manger. We would sing it at church during Christmas cantatas every year.

Everything about Christmas gives me a feeling of joy and happiness, but the best thing I love about Christmas is the reason for it. Christ was born in a manger in Bethlehem. That is more important than food and gifts. In fact, it is the greatest Christmas gift of all.

Join us as we listen to some of the best Christian Music From the 70s 80s and 90s. Be a part of our show by requesting your favorites from that time period. Our Lunchbox block is a great place to spend your lunch break as we enjoy some casual banter, interesting articles, intriguing recipes, and encouragement with our daily Powerverse!

“Show No Mercy” Is Bride’s Debut Album Released in 1986 Published By Pure Metal Records. Back when Bride was still known as “Matrix” they opened for Daniel Band and in the crowd were some of the executives for the “Refuge Music” Group which were impressed by their act after “Matrix” sold all the Demo tapes they brought. Six Months later they signed to “Pure Metal Records” which was made by Refuge Records specifically for Bride. With a budget of $2500 they set out to make their first album starting in October 1985, which was rushed because they misunderstood the deadline affecting the quality of the Album.

“Show No Mercy" opens with one of the Favorites on our Station “Evil That Men Do”. This one keeps the energy all throughout the song using a simple catchy chorus and the title as a hook. The song opens up with the lines “I need no one to show me, The way that I should live my life, I have no fears, I have no regrets, I have no need to apologize” this opening line is a statement to be set apart from the rest of society and the rest of the song follows suit “Don’t use me for, Evil, Evil that men do” it isn't just a call to attention it’s a prayer of deliverance. Dale Thompson’s Voice is used to full effect the entirety of this album. His high pitched Glam Metal Screams hit the mark in this song especially. “Now he is Gone” came out before, but it heavily reminds me of “All Hallows Eve” (Bride “Silence is Madness” [89]). It is just slower in the chorus. This song is where the more cryptic lyrics start. Without context, I don’t think I would know this is a Jesus song. With what my brain can piece together, it’s about those left after the crucifixion of Christ, those who inherit the spark and those who turn away.

“Fly Away” this one starts slower than the rest but picks up soon. This song is also about how Bride declares to set itself apart while admitting “Life will take its toll” and then follows with “I’ll get it with or without pain and strife, He suffered once, I will too,”. The composition feels like it gets somewhat sloppy in certain songs on this album but the guitar led by Troy Thompson and Steve Osborne does not let us down.

“Forever in Darkness” is about the rapture particularly the fate of the unbelievers during it with the chilling chorus “Forever in darkness away from rain, Forever in darkness to wear the chains” especially chilling when Dale repeats the line as the song fades out. The tempo of this song is surprisingly upbeat for the message; it isn't until the end of the song that the beat follows the theme.

The title track “Show No Mercy” is a battlecry about drawing strength from Jesus to win the fight, acknowledging spiritual warfare showing no mercy to sin. The layout of this song is definitely befitting of an anthem, with the slow buildup at the start, the unwavering attitude, and the rest of the band joining the chorus.

“Thunder in the City” is another declaration of faith that starts with a slow buildup featuring some piano, before eventually exploding as the beat kicks in accompanied by several computer effects.

“No Matter the Price” is probably my favorite song on the album. It starts with computer effects leading into triumphant guitar and Dale’s High pitch vocal. This song has it all: guitar, unique vocals, and the message that I look for in Christian music. It is another battlecry, this time stating what is at risk if we don’t stand for Christ.

“The First Will Be Last” is the final track on the album as the title says this song is about how God will flip the expectations of the world come end times as God's people will be glorified while the world shall crumble. One last time in the album the beat starts slower till we reach a halfway point where it slows down for some dialog then eventually kicks up again.

Overall This album has multiple memorable tracks for me my favorites being “No Matter the Price” and “Evil That Men Do” the message and composition get somewhat sloppy and inconsistent multiple times in this album but for thinking they had a month to complete it it’s still pretty good. The message of the album, while cryptic at times, is very consistent, a declaration that they will follow Christ and warning others of damnation.

Editorial Opinion by Nicodemus Seiber

Recently, I read a post about two students whose school board denied them permission to start a Fellowship of Christian Athletes chapter at their school in Smith County Tennessee.

I was outraged. These children have the same rights guaranteed in the Bill of Rights that I do! I once signed my life away to Uncle Sam to defend those rights. My mind raced, thinking about what I could do to stand up for these kids.

Then, I did some research and began to understand why this action was taken. In November of 2019, the Smith County Board of Education was sued by the American Civil Liberties Union for promoting Christianity. https://smithcountyinsider.com/home-page-featured/settlement-reached-in-aclu-school-b oard-lawsuit/

The Smith County Board of Education is scared. There are many prohibitions detailed in the 2020 settlement of the lawsuit. Running afoul of the agreed upon settlement could result in severe penalties. However, in their fear, they may have violated the rights of the two students whose applications were denied.

The First Liberty Institute has taken up the cause of these students. https://firstliberty.org/media/tennessee-school-district-urged-to-follow-the-law-and-allow-f aith-based-athletic-student-clubs-to-meet/

Precedent is clear in this situation:
● Tinker v. Des Moines (1969):Established that students do not "shed their constitutional rights to freedom of speech or expression at the schoolhouse gate".
● Westside Community Schools v. Mergens (1990): The Supreme Court upheld the Equal Access Act, which requires public secondary schools that receive federal funds to provide equal access to extracurricular clubs, including student-initiated religious groups, during non-instructional time.
● Equal Access Act (1984) - Prohibits federally-funded public secondary schools which allow non-school-sponsored groups of students to meet from discriminating against any meeting of students on the basis of religious content if: (1) the meeting is voluntary and student initiated; (2) there is no government sponsorship; and (3) no unlawful activity is permitted. To the Smith County Board of Education, I offer the following scriptures:

(Ephesians 6:12) We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

(Isaiah 41:10) Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness"

To the American Civil Liberties Union I say, if you will not stand for the rights of ALL the oppressed, you are standing for no one at all.

Addiction is one of the most common diseases in our country and it has steadily gotten worse. This disease has or is affecting a majority of houses and families in some way shape or form with negative effects, but yet is so steered away from, but why? Why do we choose to let such a real problem get brushed under the table? In my opinion, we often hide from things we don't understand, things outside of our power to control or to change. It's often easier to accept defeat, than go to the lengths necessary to overcome an obstacle. Personally I cannot say that I have met an addict whose goal in life was to be one.

It's my goal to help bring light and understanding to those who God would have me reach. I want people to know there is a solution!! Millions of people worldwide have combated and overcome addiction worldwide using one simple solution, one that has been far more effective and life changing than any medicine on the market. That solution is God.

We find, in recovery, the beautiful restorative healing power of God, who is very much active and willing to help, if you have the faith to come to Him. The Twelve Steps are a common solution. When done correctly, they offer a solution to addiction based solely off of spiritual principles. I personally used to laugh at them, until I reached my turning point of being broken enough that I was willing to try anything. I've been sober for 2 years, 4 months, and six days as of the writing of this article.

I have seen people delivered in an instant, I have seen people who have had to work harder in some cases, but people are being delivered. I have seen people who know a lot about Jesus be delivered, and I've seen Jesus heal people who did not even know Him yet! What an amazing God I serve! My life has been filled with walking with God, and getting to watch people overcome a seemingly hopeless state, to a fully recovered state of mind and spirit!! What a blessing life is. If you are struggling, it's ok. It's ok to ask for help. It's ok if you have made mistakes, and it's ok if you don't know what to do. It's a choice, to do nothing about it! Reach out, find a twelve step meeting, and learn about addiction and ways to overcome it! Remember, you are loved!

You are welcome at CAYA Recovery meetings. Caya Recovery meets every Monday at 6pm at the CAYA Fellowship building: 15960 US HWY 160 Forsyth, MO 65653.

As December arrives, our hearts turn toward the celebration of the greatest gift ever given—Jesus Christ. In a season filled with lights, music, and gatherings, it is easy to get caught up in the busyness. But at the center of it all is the quiet, powerful truth: “For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given” (Isaiah 9:6).

Christmas is not about what we find under the tree, but about the One who hung on the tree for us. Jesus came into the world as a humble baby, yet He brought salvation, hope, and eternal life. His birth reminds us that God’s love is not distant—it is personal, present, and available to each of us.

The church is where we gather to celebrate this gift together. In worship, we lift our voices in praise. In fellowship, we encourage one another. In service, we extend Christ’s love to the world. December is a beautiful time to come together as the body of Christ, to remember that we are not alone in our faith journey. When we come to church, we are reminded of the bigger story we belong to—the
story of God’s redeeming love. Each sermon, each song, each prayer draws us closer to Jesus and to one another.

This month, let us not only celebrate Jesus with words, but also with actions. Share kindness with those who are hurting. Give generously to those in need. Invite someone to church who may not know the joy of Christ. Take time to reflect on God’s blessings and offer Him your gratitude.

December brings long nights and early sunsets, but it also brings the glow of Christmas lights that brighten our homes and streets. In the same way, Jesus came as the Light of the World to shine into the darkness of sin, fear, and despair. No matter how heavy the world feels, His light cannot be overcome. When we welcome Jesus into our hearts, His light fills us and shines through us. We become reflections of His love, bringing hope to the hopeless, peace to the weary, and joy to the brokenhearted.

Each time you see Christmas lights this month, pause and thank Jesus for being your Light. Ask God to show you one person you can encourage or serve this week. Carry His light into your workplace, your family gatherings, and your community.

Lord Jesus, thank You for being the Light that no darkness can overcome. Help me to carry Your light into every place I go this December. May my words and actions reflect Your love, and may others see You through me. Amen.

Adding to this incredible media outreach, CAYA is launching a dedicated TV station that will be accessible worldwide via platforms like ROKU, Fire Stick, and the ministry’s website. This new platform will multiply CAYA's ability to deliver uplifting content and share stories of faith on a truly global scale.  

While the joy of reaching the local community remains paramount—a path marked by both heartbreaking and rejoicing moments—the recent expansion of CAYA's physical and digital reach is a testament to their mission. The monthly CAYA newsletter has become an unexpected blessing, creating a tangible network that now extends across 15 U.S. states and internationally to Canada, Kuwait, Ireland, and recently, Uganda!

In a time when Christian family members around the world are facing increasing challenges and even persecution, CAYA's focus is on solidarity and prayer. Their primary mission is to do their absolute best to encourage the body of Christ and to foster a spirit of constant, mutual prayer among believers, regardless of where they live.

CAYA invites everyone to join this growing global family. To receive the uplifting daily email devotional or the monthly email newsletter and become part of this incredible, expanding network.

Chasing HIS Horizon is a brand new show on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7:30 am to 10 am, where we play your classic Christian and contemporary music from the 80s and 90s. Now as for me? My name is Dennon White, and I am the host of the show.

Now you may be wondering to yourself- ‘who is this guy?’ or even ‘why should I tune in?’ I am glad you asked. I am a 22 year old man who currently works with Silver Dollar City as a trained operator where I work on some of the craziest rides on this side of the Mississippi. I am also a former firefighter with Western Taney County Fire Protection District. I responded to fires, car crashes and everything in between. I am also the eldest of three children and helping try to guide them in this crazy world.

As for the second question, I want to bring back some of the classics within the christian and contemporary music genre. In a world where the radio is going the way of the dodo bird, I want to keep the values and nostalgia of the classic news active for a new generation of people while still spreading the good news of the bible. I am hoping to keep my show within the same rules and concepts of the classic Johnny Carson show from the 60s to the 90s, where anything can happen, but being intentional in keeping Christian values at the core of the show.

Well, that is all for now folks! Make sure to tune in every Monday, Tuesday and Thursday from 7:30 to 10 am on KMTM or cayafellowship.com for all of your classic Christian music!
