An Introduction to the Morning Show for New (and Old) Listeners

Welcome to the WWIB Wake-Up Show! If you have preconceived ideas of what a “Christian” radio show should be, it’s very possible this one won’t be for you. We’re not even sure what a “Christian Radio Show” is, any more than we know what a Christian Butcher, Baker, or Candlestick-Maker is. The fact of the matter is, we’re just Christians who happen to have a radio morning show and seek to bring our Creator glory by doing our very best at it. Simple as that. So, before you start listening on a regular basis, give this a gander: 1. First off, we’re glad you’re here! THANK YOU for listening, for being engaged enough to actually read this, and for generally being a solid representation of humanity. Radio stations don’t exist without listeners, and we value each and every one of you. 2. We love the music. We hope you will too! We also hope you’ll realize that not every song has to match your personal tastes. We’ll play oldies, we’ll play currents, we’ll play lots of new music, and we’ll probably play something that rubs you the wrong way at some point. When that happens, we hope you’ll have the grace to shrug and say, “Well, if they’re playing this somebody must like it.” And you’ll be right! 3. We love Jesus. We’re going to talk about Him. But we’re not your church, and we never want to be. If you’re substituting Christian radio for the fellowship, engagement, and accountability of a body of believers, you’re missing God’s directive. We’re here to come alongside your church, not take its place. What you’ll hear here are the genuine thoughts, contemplations, struggles, and recently revealed truths in our lives and personal walk with Christ. If you want gift-wrapped devotional platitudes, we’re probably not your show, or your station. And we’re fine with that. We strive to be authentic, which means… 4. We’re going to talk about LOTS of other stuff. We serve a God that gave us a vast capacity for joy, and an immense creation to explore. Jesus said that He came that we might have life, and have it to the full (John 10:10). We want our conversation to evidence the joy (and humor!) of the life we live. You see, if God cares about our daily life, why would we pretend it doesn’t exist and only speak about “spiritual” things? He cares about kids that stay up all night, fender-benders, diaper mishaps, walking into doors because you’re not paying attention, dogs and cats (maybe), birthday parties, planting a garden, seeing a movie, laughing at a joke, and on and on. So we’re going to talk about all of that, and a lot more. This show is about life, and there’s no need to create a dichotomy between “sacred” and “secular” if you believe that EVERYTHING we do in life is for His glory! (1 Cor. 10:31). 5. We love kids. And we very much want them to listen! We want this to be a place where your children are welcomed, engaged, entertained, and encouraged. If we’re failing in this area, we want you to let us know. However, don’t expect us to dumb things down. Our children do not have the “Holy Spirit Jr.” and we’re going to be spiritually straightforward with them, just like you’re instructed to do in your home. We hope we’re aiding and abetting your parenting for His glory! 6. We think radio should be FUN, and we hope you’ll have fun listening to us. There’s no need to be stolid and starched in this medium. We want to be authentic, entertaining, and joyful. We hope you’ll give our show an honest try for a couple weeks, and after that, if it’s still not for you…well, we’re okay with that, and we know you will be too. This is morning radio. It’s freewheeling, at times off-the-cuff, rollicking, good-timing stuff, and it’s different every single day. Welcome to the ride. Soli Deo Gloria
