On the Radio – Q Place and Mary!

Earlier this week, Q Place president Mary Schaller had a great conversation with Debbie Chavez on the Debbie Chavez Show. After working as a news anchor, talk show host and manager at a news-talk radio station for 27 years, Debbie began hosting her faith-based radio talk show in 2008. On Tuesday, Mary had a chance to hear some of Debbie’s encouraging words to women for a few moments before Debbie and Mary got down to talking about engaging in spiritual conversations with those who believe differently.

What could this mean?

This past fall several people who pray fervently for Q Place let me know individually that as they prayed, words or visions came to them that involved a sword.

More. As I sit down to write this blog, a scene from one of my favorite movies comes to mind. It’s from Oliver when young Oliver Twist holds his bowl in front of his face and dares to ask the scowling Mr. Bumble for more porridge. “Please, sir, I want some more.” At Q Place we believe that the spiritually hungry are often like Oliver. They are longing for something substantial to fill the emptiness inside, but what they experience from Christians may feel more like Mr. Bumble’s suspicious gaze. Instead of being met at their point of need, they...Read more …
