E-Mess-smileyFor two days you have been referring to Mr. James Doohan as "Scotty Guy from Star Trek". This gentleman has a name and a life worth revisiting for its value. Mr Doohan was and remains a very influential person in this world. Please read about Mr. Doohan, as he has a long history of inspiration and effect on people. Your show has moved from a very spiritual beginning back in the day, into a comedy show that serves no real value for my faith. I ask humbly to move your show themes back from the secular, toward the Light of Jesus. I am considering leaving your show as a listener as you move beyond Faith and Inspiration. Comedy is easy to find on "Bob & Tom" and other fast paced, secular radio morning shows. Praying for your insight, Very Respectfully
Wally-E-Mess-iconIn this business I need to give context and I don't think James would have minded being referred to as "Scotty". He always seemed like someone who was comfortable with his past and didn't want to deny it like some of the other Star Trek Stars. I meant no offense and I personally don't feel I slighted him. As for being too secular, I understand where you are coming from. I know I am not "Christian" enough for some, but I am actually good with that because there are plenty of places for Christians who need a more religious approach. That is not my calling. I feel led to create, through humor and normalcy, an entry point for non believers who don't like Christians or church to meet God. The good news is it is working. There are people coming to faith through this ministry that would never listen to regular Christian radio. There are things going on you might not be thinking of and there is a definite difference between myself and Bob and Tom. One of my favorite emails is from a dad who thanked us for making him laugh about something silly one morning. He went on to explain that he had not laughed in 6 months, since his daughter was killed in a car accident. To me that is God starting to heal that man’s heart and restore him and I am proud that we cold be a small part of that. So even though it might not seem like it, there is a method to this madness.
