Your Weekend Show

For weeks now, we have heard more than we ever wanted to about Viruses, Pandemics, Mortality Rates, Social Distancing, and our nation in a virtual shutdown. People are now “protesting” many of the draconian “Stay at Home” orders in effect in many states. The TV talking heads are breathless in sharing each and every Covid-19 death, News Sites tally the daily infection rate. Fear of our own mortality drives people into depression, fear, anxiety. Will we ever be “normal” again? Was this Corona Virus all it was claimed to be? Was every recorded death really Covid-19?

On this weekend’s program, Bob looks at the politics and fear of this novel virus, and its implications for years to come. Bob shares his thoughts from the benefit of having spent the past 5 weeks working in an Emergency Operations Center that is in the front-line fight and response to Covid-19. We believe you will find enlightenment, comfort, and information.

This weekend’s Easter Special originates again from Asheville, NC, where Bob has been working in public information for an Emergency Management Agency with the Covid-19 response. This is his fourth week away from home.

This weekend show comes in two parts. First, Bob shares his thoughts about this time, and shares the audio soundtrack of a video he produced last week for this time of Easter. On the second half of the program, Bob brings on a special guest, Rev. Randell Graf to talk about the impact on people from much of the “Stay at Home” orders in effect in many parts of the country. He talks about ways to cope in these difficult times.

He also shares a great audio cut of a “Virtual Choir” that shares a beautiful song of hope in our difficult times. Listen, and share this program with your family and friends.

This weekend Bob is in North Carolina, helping in Emergency Management. Bob, though most of his life has been in broadcasting and active ministry, he spent a number of years working for an Emergency Management Agency as a Public Information Officer. With this current COVID-19 Pandemic, he was asked to come out of retirement to help with public information and helping a large county keep informed.  The hours are long, but it is a worthy work he is happy to do. Next weekend’s show will originate from North Carolina.  

The Corona Virus is now on everyone’s mind - literally worldwide. From travel restrictions, to stores limiting their hours, schools closing, and so much more, people are troubled, worried, and often confused. We hear it’s not that deadly, but why are some states in the United States closing restaurants and canceling events? Are we not being told something, or is this some type of event to change the world order? Frankly no one knows. Bob ponders this, but also shares some hopeful information you need. This is a “must listen to” episode.

This weekend Bob shares his thoughts about "Living in the Past." Many of us, as we get older, have fond memories of the way things "were," but sometimes forget what they were really like. In addition, we sometimes take for granted how changes in our science, medicine, and technology have often influenced and dramatically changed our lives. What was "cutting edge" in 1969 may seem antiquated on a closer look today, just like when in 1969 people looked at the technology of 1920. Are we living in the past? Or learning from the past? There is a difference.

This weekend Bob celebrates 5 years of broadcasting "Your Weekend Show." It is hard to believe that the show has been reaching people around the world for all this time, and to each of you who listen, a heartfelt "Thank You!"

In light of the media coverage of the "CoronaVirus," bob shares some practical thoughts on how we should respond to this important story in our news cycle. Bob concludes the program with a fun visit back to 1975. It's a show of celebration, encouragement and fun memories.

What happens when you plan something for months, spend money in advance, have everything packed and ready, are look forward with great anticipation, and then watch it all fall apart at the last moment? Bob shares what happened to him and his wife just a bit over a week ago, as their planned special event in St. Augustine , FL had to be cancelled the night before the event, due to weather affecting other participants travel, the flu, and fouled up hotel reservations. Bob shares how he redeemed the time suddenly added to his normally busy schedule.

Also on the program he shares his thoughts on effectively using the tools of our time in our important work in sharing the good news, and really impacting lives. It is an eye-opener you really need to hear.

This weekend Bob is coming to you from Florida where he will be attending an important meeting and conference. Bob will share more about that in a week or two. For the next month or so, Bob and his wife, Lori, will be at their Florida home, and where this broadcast will originate through March, and possibly into mid or late April.

This weekend's Program picks up on the theme of the past two weekends, our dying heritage, faith, and culture, and how it is impacting our world today. This is an important show to hear as we are living in a time of cultural war, political correctness gone insane, and lies being accepted as truth. He also broaches the question of what can Christians and the Church do in such an age.
