Who are Those Guys?

Tuesday, 14 March 2023 by Chris Lemke
Jack and Chris

Next week, KAMB kicks off our Spring fundraising Celebration centered around the theme, Your Story, His Glory. If that sounds a little familiar, you may recognize it as the new single from singer/songwriter Matthew West, who will be one of our guests during this fundraiser. But you may not know two other voices who’ll be on the air with Brandon, Dave, Mark, and Tim. Say hello to Jack (on the left) and Chris (on the right).

Meet Jack Robertson

Jack is the Manager and Morning Show Host at Renew 96.9 in Magee, MS. Jack is no stranger to radio, having served at various stations for nearly 34 years. He’s a huge fan of KAMB and a former host of KAMB fundraisers in years gone by. Jack believes that local radio is the way to go as it best serves the community it reaches. He and his wife, Teresa, have two grown children and a menagerie of animals including dogs, cats, cows, goats, and a donkey. Says Jack, “I’m thrilled to be coming back to KAMB. The station truly embraces the people residing in the Central Valley and Central Coast. The KAMB team is dedicated to serve well and ensure that those who listen and connect with the station will see and experience Jesus and the life he invites each person to live.”

Meet Chris Lemke

After retiring as Station Manager of WCSG in Grand Rapids, MI, Chris connected with his good friends at KAMB, friends he’s known for better than two decades. He began working more closely with the station in August of 2021 as a coach and advisor to the team. Like Jack, Chris is a huge fan of KAMB and believes the station has great potential to be a significant influence for Christ in the Central Valley and Central Coast. Chris and his wife, Sue, have six children, five grandchildren, one dog and two cats. Chris commented, “Working with the team at KAMB reminds me how blessed their listening family is. The team is genuine, trusted, sincere, and humbled to serve those who tune in. I’m looking forward to being a part of something special that week.”

Share your Spring Gift by March 20th & have it Doubled

KAMB welcomes Jack and Chris, and we welcome you to join us next week, March 21-24, for KAMB’s on-air Spring Fundraiser, Your Story, His Glory.

Thank you again for your generosity and for partnering with us to point the Central Valley and Central Coast to Jesus.

When St. Patrick Meets Ancestry.com

Tuesday, 14 March 2023 by Chris Lemke
st Patrick

St. Patrick’s Day and all things Iri… uh that is… British? You may find it surprising, but St. Patrick was not born in Ireland, but instead born in Britain to wealthy parents in the late fourth century. At age 16, he was kidnapped by Irish raiders and taken to Ireland as a slave. Patrick later escaped but returned to Ireland, bringing Christianity to its people. In the centuries following Patrick’s death (believed to have been on March 17, 461), the mythology surrounding his life became ever more ingrained in the Irish culture: Perhaps the most well-known legend of St. Patrick is that he explained the Holy Trinity (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) using the three leaves of a native Irish clover, the shamrock.

St. Patrick’s Influence for Christ

According to History.com, because he was familiar with the Irish language and culture, “Patrick chose to incorporate traditional ritual into his lessons of Christianity instead of attempting to eradicate native Irish beliefs. For instance, he used bonfires to celebrate Easter since the Irish were used to honoring their gods with fire. He also superimposed a sun, a powerful Irish symbol, onto the Christian cross to create what is now called a Celtic cross, so that veneration of the symbol would seem more natural to the Irish. Although there were a small number of Christians on the island when Patrick arrived, most Irish practiced a nature-based pagan religion. The Irish culture centered around a rich tradition of oral legend and myth. When this is considered, it is no surprise that the story of Patrick’s life became exaggerated over the centuries—spinning exciting tales to remember history has always been a part of the Irish way of life.” For more on the life of St. Patrick and St. Patrick’s Day traditions, click here.

Have your Support Matched Dollar for Dollar

Just as St. Patrick was committed to telling others about Christ, so too is KAMB. From its beginning over 55 years ago, KAMB has been pointing the way to Jesus Christ through Christ-centered music and programming. KAMB is listener-supported, meaning we count on listeners to also pray for us and give toward the financial need of the station. Next week, March 21-24 is KAMB’s Spring Fundraiser, but you’re invited to make a gift to KAMB even before the official start by clicking here. Know that your gift given by March 20 is worth twice as much, thanks to friends who are matching each gift dollar for dollar up to $10,000. Thank you again for your generosity and for partnering with us to point the Central Valley and Central Coast to Jesus.

COVID-19, It’s Been Three Long Years

Tuesday, 14 March 2023 by Chris Lemke

During the second week of March, 2020, the United States “officially” began… its journey of addressing what became an international pandemic. Some have estimated millions of people around the world have been impacted by or died as a result of Covid-19, and it’s estimated that 70,000 new cases of Covid and its variants occur each week. So what have we learned?

In her article published this past weekend, Betsy Morris of the Wall Street Journal wrote that “had we known that the virus could be transmitted by breathing tiny aerosol particles that could linger in the air and travel far beyond our six feet of social distancing…we could have taken more effective measures to control the spread.” She also suggested doctors and health officials could have done a better job at collaborating and clearly communicating the nature of a virus to maintain public trust. Morris continued, “If we’d known how damaging lockdowns would be to mental health, physical health and the economy, we could have taken a more strategic approach to closing businesses and keeping people at home.”

Difference in Approach & Perspective

Elliott McLaughlin of CNN wrote that our response to the recent health crisis “raises an important question about how we, as a country, define strength: Is it clinging to our freedom…or reaching out and sacrificing…to ensure the safety of our fellow Americans.” For the Christ-follower, the important question of defining strength might be rephrased to ask, “Is it clinging to our freedoms in Christ…or laying our lives down for the sake of the Gospel?” The divide among believers was undeniable with those who followed government mandates and health officials’ counsel often at odds with brothers and sisters of the Faith who believed that they were called to civil disobedience and continue community worship and service.

Trust Vs Fear

Pastor and teacher, Chuck Swindoll, offers this encouragement, writing, “While the world is in turmoil because of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, we can rest in God’s promise to never forsake us during uncertain times. Let’s agree to trust and not be afraid. Let’s also keep in mind that our God is still in full control. And, finally, let’s remember that we are not alone. He loves us with an infinite amount of love and, therefore, will never release His grip on our lives.” For additional encouragement, you may want to read these additional articles. And, be sure to listen to Insight for Living with Chuck Swindoll, heard weeknights at 9:00 on KAMB.
