About SCOTT...
Spouse - I've been married to the girl of my dreams for 25 years...and she still loves me!
Kids - Susie and I have 4 kids. We had them in two sets; older (23 & 20) and younger (13 & 11). The only thing that has really aged me is teaching the first two how to drive, also known as when your life flashing before your eyes goes into reruns.
Pets - Jett is our year-and-a-half old long-haired mini-dachshund. He does tricks! Lie down, roll over, sit up, bang (play dead), fetch, stay, treat on the nose, and dance like a fool!
Testimony - I lived pretty fast as a teenager & after many car wrecks and near misses I finally understood that the Lord must have something in store for me or I'd be dead. Since then I have been working out my salvation with fear and trembling. God’s Word says Fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, so I'm trying to be faithful in studying and praying without ceasing. Learning to love like Jesus!
About SAM...
Spouse - Carlos. My hero. Mighty Man of Valor. He runs his own ad agency and BBQ's the best steak you've ever tasted!
Kids - When I married Carlos, I also married some pretty awesome kids. Anthony (studying to be a pilot), Cameron (basketball genius like his dad), Carlise (pretty and creative girl) and Desmond (loves slot cars and can race with his eyes closed.) I thank God for answering my prayer for children in such an amazing way.
Pets - Clyde the Dog!! He's part Border Collie, part Golden Retriever. A rescue pup who runs with me and is (sadly) not allowed on the bed. (Our pastor said if this was the only area of disagreement Carlos and I had, we were doing pretty well!)
Testimony - Jesus is awesome. I was a mess. When I started in radio (at a mainstream station) I met Scott. He was the first person I ever knew who lived his faith at work. When he prayed out loud in front of me, I almost freaked out!! After he and Susie invited me to their church, the Bible started to make sense. I got excited about this God who became a man and went through so much pain for us. I had some sins that I didn't know what to do with. He took them. I've tried to be obedient ever since. I love life with Christ!!!!
About TRACY...
Spouse - I have been married to Dustin for over 11 years. We were highschool sweathearts!
Kids - We have a two and half year old Abigail and 4 month old Elisabeth.
Pets - One goldfish...named Dorothy in honor of Elmo!
Testimony - Growing up, my family went to a Catholic church. I was saved when I was 26 in a hair salon! I was searching for a long time and one day when I was getting my hair highlighted...my stylist asked me if I wanted to ask Jesus to come into my heart...I said yes and my life has never been the same.
About JULIE...
Spouse - Daryl, Music Director at WAKW. We met in college, at Mount Vernon Nazarene College (now, University), while working in the school's radio station.
Kids - Son: Spencer, 13, a basketball player and natural comedian. Daughter: Regan, 9, also a basketball player and quite the artist.
Pets - Strider, a black lab and two cats, a male and a female, Pippin and Eowyn. (Yes, the pets' names are all characters from 'Lord of the Rings'.)
Testimony - I probably have one of the least dramatic testimonies you'll ever read. I am a 'pastor's kid', you know, a "PK", but not one that rebelled or went crazy when I left home. I have definitely done a few things that I know God was not too pleased with, but its stuff that would make you yawn. I was quite young when I accepted Jesus as my Savior, and as a teenager I recommitted myself to Him. I've had my share of painful experiences and disappointments in my life, and have been in more than one 'pit of despair', but God has always, always, ALWAYS pulled me out. So many times I've felt anxious about my circumstances but He gets me through it, or out of it, or just turns the whole thing around in a surprising way that, once again, makes me realize how silly I can be.
About ROB...
Favorite Scripture - Proverbs 17:22 "Laughter is good for your health; gloom and doom leave you bone-tired."
Weakness - Kryptonite
If I were in the Bible I'd be - Peter. Always talking before thinking. Still working on that.
Testimony - I've been in church since I was an infant. Fortunately, in recent years I have finally thrown off the religion that weighed me down and found a real relationship of my own with God. If you haven't found that freedom and security yet I encourage you to talk to Him outside everything someone else has told you that God is and get to know Him for yourself!
About KURT...
Spouse - I have the most beautiful wife in the world! Amy agreed to marry me 22 years ago. We actually were Jr. High Scool sweethearts. We secretly held hands on the church bus on the way to a haunted house...of all places for a church youth group to go! She soon broke up with me and moved to Iowa! Not sure if it had to do with the hand-holding or not? We remained good friends through high school and college. When she graduated from college, she moved back to the St. Louis area, where I grew up, and attended my twin sisters wedding. I fell in love with her all over again! We dated for 30 days and on the 30th day I ask her to marry me at the alter of the church we met at. She said "yes"! I am a lucky man!
Kids -
Jessika is 21. A senior in college and will soon be teaching HIGH SCHOOL (Brave Kid!) Emily is 19. She is a freshman in college and is studying to teach ELEMENTARY SCHOOL(Patient Kid!) Evan is 17. A junior in high school. Very creative. Loves theatre! Was recently cast as the Cowardly Lion in the Wizard of Oz! ("...courage!") Kimberly is 14. She is our tax-day baby! Amy and I were finishing our tax returns when Kimberly decided she wanted to be born! She loves animals. Look for her to either swim with Shamu at Sea World or riding horses somewhere!
Pets - My wife has two dogs. Annie is 4 and is a toy-poodle. Duke is 2 and is a Mexican Chihuahua. Both not large enough to be "real" dogs.
Testimony -
I accepted Christ when I was 16 at church youth camp. At the same time, I accepted a call into full-time Christian ministry. Since then, I have served as a pastor in the United Methodist Church and in Christian radio ministry for the past 25 years. The saying, "God doesn't call the qualified, but, qualifies the called" surely fits me!
About BETH...
Spouse - My husband; Bill and I have been together for over 20 years, and he is also in radio. Name a state, between the both of us we have probably lived there.
Kids - We have two amazing daughters: Haylee and Hannah. Haylee is in her final days of High School and plans to attend college in the fall to study Photo-Journalism. Wow, it's hard to believe I'm going to have a kid in college, wasn't I just changing her diaper? Hannah is in Middle school, a natural athlete and loves the theater.
Pets - Two cats that own us. I read a funny quote that said "dogs have owners, cats have slaves..." Well it's true!
Testimony - I am such a work in progress, praise be to God who loves me no matter what! Casting Crown's song "Who Am I" is my lifesong. Philippians 4:4-8, "Rejoice in the Lord always, I will say it again, Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Jesus Christ."
