The issue of homelessness touches every community in the Kansas City metropolitan area. Chris Meikel talks with Myranda Agnew, the Chief Executive Officer at the Community of Hope facility in Leavenworth, Kansas as we find out about the great works that God is doing there. Also, we'll learn about The Willows from Patti Brasel. A new historical marker at its former location will be a constant reminder of the services that were offered there. And finally, Chris talks with Scott Stanger as we get an update on what has happened following a 100 year anniversary that was celebrated in November of 2023. All that on this Special Encounter on Bott Radio Network.
The first hour of your day can be the best hour of your day and set the stage for everything that follows. On this Special Encounter, Chris Meikel welcomes Mark Koch, the author of the book "The First Hour," a Hollywood producer whose life in Christ followed one that included finding worldly success in the entertainment field. Yet Mark realized an emptiness that only God could satisfy. Mark recognizes the need for men in America to step up, and he challenges each of us to start our day focused on Jesus, and giving that first hour to God.
Senator Mike Thompson, known throughout the Midwest for his many years as a television meteorologist, has been serving as a Kansas senator in the 10th district since 2020. The main topic of discussion in this Special Encounter are attempts by those who want to legalize “medicinal marijuana,” always a gateway to full legalization of recreational marijuana. Senator Thompson talks about the many dangers of going down this path and listeners will learn what they can do to prevent such bills from passing in Kansas. Eben Fowler also talks with Senator Thompson about the upcoming April 29, 2024 veto session, where the legislature will have an opportunity to override Governor Kelly’s veto of a bill that would protect those under 18 from having mutilating “gender affirming” surgical procedures inflicted upon them and also would prohibit the prescription of hormone replacement drugs for minors.
