Your Weekend Show

Missed opportunity.  How many times have we let opportunity pass us by? Have we ever miss out on something worthwhile, but by the time we decided what to do it was too late? Procrastination is a very negative trait that can be costly.  Bob addresses that on the program this weekend, as he shares his thoughts on missing the "Hour of Your Visitation."

This weekend's program opens with some thoughts on the future of conventional AM, FM and even International Shortwave Radio, along with his thoughts on the trends in Internet radio, and even the growth of Podcasting. The program concludes with his powerful message on not allowing opportunity to pass us by.  

This weekend Bob opens the program with an update on where he has been over the past month, and some of the opportunities he is now considering in terms of this radio show and other ministry needs. He then shares some thoughts about the broadcasting industry, including domestic AM and FM radio, and also some thoughts on where we are at in the world of International Shortwave Broadcasting today.

Bob then talks about the future of radio, the direction radio is going, and thoughts about the world of Internet Radio and Podcasting. The program concludes with a special message he shared exactly 1 year ago, a timeless topic you need to hear.

This weekend Bob shares a recording of an interview when he was a guest on a radio program on Praise 99.3 FM in Nevis. Nevis is part of the Federation of St. Kitts and Nevis, and is located in the Eastern Caribbean. The interview was recorded from a live program a few weeks ago when Bob was in Venice, Florida and was done by phone. On this program Bob shares his vision for expanded missionary radio. As a side note, "Your Weekend Show" is heard on Praise FM 99.3. You can find out more at http://www.praisefmnevis.com. 

About your host: 

Bob has been in and around the radio industry since 1971. Starting out as a Top-40 Disc Jockey, he spent the next 9 years on the air, but gradually set his sights on the engineering side of the industry. By 1980, he was the chief engineer of the most powerful FM radio station in the City of Atlanta, GA. Within a few years he took the position of field service technician, plus new product development for a large manufacturer of Radio Transmitters. 

Eventually, by the late 1980’s he ended up working for the broadcast ministry of Toccoa Falls College, in Toccoa Falls, Georgia, USA. For the next decade, he worked to improve that radio facility, plus developed a satellite network feeding programming to many radio stations around the United States. The college also acquired a number of radio stations throughout the United States. Over the years he has built numerous radio stations and transmission facilities. 

Even though he worked mostly in engineering, he still kept time to be on the air. Bob said that “Being on the air, especially for a place like Toccoa Falls College, is more than providing entertainment; you have the opportunity to change lives.” In the early 1990’s, Bob felt a powerful calling on his life, one he had known since childhood. While still working for Toccoa Falls, he started his studies for the ordained ministry. He was ordained in January 1996 to the ministry.

By 1998, Bob left Georgia for Sarasota, Florida. There he took over as the pastor of a struggling mission church, but also worked part time in radio, both on-air and in engineering. Bob was the host on a local morning show, plus maintained several transmitter facilities for a radio station group in that market.

“YOUR WEEKEND SHOW” is the culmination of a dream Bob had in the mid 1980’s when he first realized the world-wide impact of International Shortwave radio. Over the years he has wanted to launch such a program, but the timing was not just right. As the nature of Shortwave has changed in recent decades, a Magazine type show, such as “YOUR WEEKEND SHOW,” fills a definite programming void now, more than ever.

This weekend Bob welcomes as his guest his good friend Bob Parks to the program. Bob, and his wife, Laura Erickson, are the founders and drive behind "Black and Blonde" media (http://www.blackandblondemedia.com), an excellent and relevant news site. Bob Parks shares his thoughts on much of the strangeness happening in the United States, and much of the world today. It's an excellent hour of conversation that is both entertaining and informative.

This weekend will be a difficult for your host, Bob Biermann. This weekend Bob will be in Venice, Florida at a memorial service for his son-in-law. His son-in-law passed away a while back after fighting a battle with cancer. Bob will gather with family and friends over this weekend, which also happens to be Father's Day.  Bob shares some memories of lost members of his family, and reminds us how important it is do never take time, or our families for granted. 

How has our conversation changed in the past 40 years? It is amazing how we have been herded into what the book by George Orwell, “1984,” called “New-Speak.” In a generation we have added new words to our vocabulary, and literally “deleted” others. “Political Correctness” has invaded (like a conquering army) our schools, our government, our media, and even our social media. What’s even worse, this “New-Speak” of Political Correctness has even crept in like a cancer into many of our faith-based organizations and even a number of once faithful church bodies. It has happened so gradually that many simply did not pay attention. Our young people know no different, as many young people have been raised more by the public schools (and daycare) than by truly engaged parents. Bob begins a series that looks at these and other social changes on this week’s program. It’s a program you need to hear and share.     

This weekend Bob continues where he left off last weekend in assessing how we got to the place in our Western World that we are today. We live in a world where right is wrong, and wrong is becoming right. Feelings and emotions replace facts and reason, and if you disagree, you are cut off from the marketplace of ideas. We are told what to think and told we must be categorized in a group. We are increasingly being divided. This series is a must listen to program. We hope that you share this with your family and friends. We would love to hear your comments at [email protected].

Where have we improved? And where we’ve have declined as a culture in the western world? Bob shares his thoughts of the unprecedented changes in our world since 1969. Things that no one would ever believe would happen in people’s lifetimes in 1919 happened by 1969. Now, 50 years later we see technology that was only a dream less than 60 years ago. In spite of all our accumulated knowledge, there seems to be a total lack of wisdom dominating the culture. 

Today, in 2019, we see things being forced on us to accept, that defy logic, reason, common sense, and even natural law. Bob starts this conversation this week on “Your Weekend Show” Be sure to listen, and encourage your friends to listen as well.    

Integrity, honesty, and simply being upfront, that is one of the topics on this weekend’s program. Bob continues with a theme of people that use their position, authority, reputation, or even “ministry” to deceive you, and have you support them. Bob shares some direct dealings with some of the “Holy Ghost Hucksters,” and how they claim to hear from God, but what they are sharing is often anything but from God. There are Ministries littered with unfinished projects, and a history changing directions that you need to learn to avoid. It is urgent you listen and learn.
