Demond Wilson--best-known for his role as Lamont Sanford in the 70's sitcom "Sanford & Son"-- graciously joined the program in January 2019, just a few months into the Tim DeMoss Show's existence. With his homegoing at age 79 this past weekend, we re-aired that conversation in its entirety today.

Wilson was funny, serious, godly, insightful--and kept TIm on his toes the entire time :). Wilson began by indirectly referencing the recently-missed double doink field goal attempt by former Eagle Cody Parkey (as the Birds hung on for a 16-15 playoff win v the Bears). Over the rest of the show, he shared about his acting career, comedy, Sanford & Son and his relationship with Redd Foxx, thoughts on the military (in which he served 1966-1968), his wife and their (at the time) 45-year marriage, being a father, and his faith in the Lord (as well as a project he was working on at the time).

Psalm 90:10 comes to mind initially: "The length of our days is seventy years--or eighty, if we have the strength." Even moreso, John 14:1-4 provides much hope: "Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. 2 In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. 4 You know the way to the place where I am going."

Scott Wilder from Pre-Born joins the show for Day 2 of 2 as WFIL's partnership continues, seeking to provide free ultrasound sessions for pregnant girls and women who might otherwise end their pregnancy. These ultrasounds have proven to be a powerful, effective, and gentle way of promoting life by providing the mother to see her baby and hear her baby's heartbeat.

Scott gives insight into the work of Pre-Born (both during January ("Sanctity of Human Life Month") and year 'round). He also offers stories of women who have been helped and explains the support given in the office visit and the ultrasound itself are just the beginning of a mentorship program that can last a couple of years, including receiving access to necessary resources for women.

Please pray, and if you'd like to cover an ultrasound for $28, 5 for $140, or to make a donation of any amount, simply call 1 833-850-BABY (2229) or click the Pre-Born banner at wfil.com. Thanks very much from Pre-Born and WFIL!

Scott Wilder from Pre-Born is our special guest today. January is "Sanctity of Human Life" month, and WFIL is teamed up with Pre-Born again this year to help provide free ultrasounds for pregnant girls and women who otherwise might choose to end their pregnancy.

We greatly appreciate your prayers for this endeavor, and to cover an ultrasound for $28, 5 for $140, or however many you like (or to simply make a donation of any amount), simply call 1 833-850-BABY (2229) or click the Pre-Born banner at wfil.com. Thank you very much from Pre-Born and WFIL!
