I've been doing the Lifespring! podcast since November 13, 2004. Lifespring! was the very first non-sermon based Christian talk show. PodcastingNews.com referred to me as a "podcasting pioneer" along with Craig Patchett, who founded the GodCast Network .
Lifespring! is a weekly show, in which there is music, conversation, and reasons to believe. I bring the message of hope, love, and Good News to anyone who is looking for those things in their life. Each show averages about 30 minutes.
If you are not a believer, you will find a friendly voice at Lifespring! I don't use a lot of Christianese, or Christian buzz words. As a matter of fact, you are the person I'm thinking about when I put the show together.
If you are a believer in Jesus, I am very happy to have you listen! You'll find that the show is encouraging, uplifting and entertaining. A place where you can kick off your shoes and relax.
Every show has some great music, too! Artists like Jimmie Bratcher, Adrina Thorpe, Bryan Duncan, wahba, Susan Gray, Anne Davis, and on and on and on.
I also do a show two to three time per week called "In Touch With God's Character". It's about three minutes long. In each episode, I take one of the names of God as found in Scripture and talk about the aspect of God's character that the name brings out.
My newest show is called the "Lifespring! Weekend Music Show". It's a once weekly show that I put up on Friday nights, so you can have some cool music for your weekend. Check it out!

My Interests

Improving my walk with God; my family, my church, improving my podcast. I enjoy being outdoors, with snow skiing being on the top of the list.

I also like seeing people pin themselves on my frappr map . (Hint, hint, hint.) ;-)

I'd like to meet:

Jesus. What's really cool is that I know that's going to happen!

Music:

I enjoy nearly every kind of music. Not too crazy about opera or hardcore. My current favorite artists are Adrina Thorpe, Rob Costlow, Jill Parr, Jimmie Bratcher, wahba, Susan Gray, Anne Davis and Bryan Duncan, in no particular order.

I hardly listen to any RIAA artists any more. There is such great indie talent out there waiting to be discovered that there isn't much time to listen to the "old guard"!

Movies:

I seldom go to the movies, but some of my favorites are "Casablanca", "Bullitt" (the best chase scene in movie history!), "The Quiet Man", the "Star Wars" series.

Television:

Shows I make time for:

24

CSI (Las Vegas is the best, but I watch the others occasionally)

Law & Order (only the original)

Books:

The Bible (I prefer the NIV for daily reading), Sherlock Holmes, Tom Clancy, C.S. Lewis, D. L. Moody

Heroes:

Jesus Christ, Paul the apostle, my boyhood friend Del and his wife Kathi (they live it), my brother-in-law Steve (for the same reason).
