Testimony
I grew up in church, but never understood that you could have an actual relationship with the Creator of the universe and everything in it. I probably just thought that if you believed that Jesus was God and didn't think that Buddah or Mohammed was god, then you were a Christian. I would fill the hour of church by exercising my artistic abilities all over the bulletins until I could escape at the appointed time to go spend the rest of the day at the creek with my dog.
Growing up, I was a very depressed kid with a bad attitude towards everything. I was mentally bound by a dark cloud that only continued to get thicker and darker as I grew older. I eventually got into alcohol, and then some light drugs. With time, I cared less about school, family, and especially God. I came out of my shy shell with the aid of alcohol, became more social and confident. I became mystified with vampires and the occult, though thankfully, I never pursued it as a religion. I graduated high school, quit drugs, but kept drinking and started to notice the emptiness that I had as I attended my first year of radio classes at Colby Community College.
So far the picture looks pretty bleak, though I don’t want to give the impression that my life was absolutely worthless and terrible. There were some good and very happy moments, but I didn't really remember them very well. I started dating someone in college who soon turned into my fiance. I was introduced to his friend, Shane (who also works at KGCR and was one of a few people who would eventually help point me to Christ). He would listen to Christian rock, the oxymoron of oxymorons, so I thought. How could the two exist? Christians were boring and rock music was not. I was intrigued with this guy’s Christian rock. It sounded like normal secular music, except they were talking of such things as “Jesus, I love You,” and “Jesus, You are my life.”
After a few months, through Shane and Shane’s friend Everett (another KGCR personality), and other Christians who all of a sudden seemed to appear in my life, things started to change. Jesus, who never seemed to be in my concerns much before, started to wear more and more on my mind and in my life. I really started to struggle. The "good morals" that I had earlier in my life started to come out of dormancy and I also knew I was not ready for marriage. I started to ask questions concerning my life after death and the life I was trying to live before death. I started to loath the terrible life I was leading and desperately wanted to get off of the rocky road I had paved. I didn’t want to be around my old friends anymore because I didn’t want to drink anymore, but I wasn't very comfortable around the Christians yet. I was too close to give up though, because I knew I was incredibly close to finding the Truth, whatever that was.
I broke off my engagement, and a few of months later, Everett invited me to go to a Christian music festival in Stockton, Kansas. I didn’t want to go and Shane did. Since Shane and I worked at the same place (pre-KGCR), one of us could go and the other had to stay and work. To us, the answer was obvious. Shane wanted to go, so he should. Both Shane and I argued with Everett about that, because Everett was insisting that I really needed to go. Everett persisted and grudgingly, Shane stayed to work and I went. I went and watched a band I didn’t like too much at the time, but God didn't need me to like them to get through to me. The band didn’t say anything that personally caught my attention, but during one of their praise and worship songs, all of a sudden it was as if everything that I had learned about Jesus in the last few months finally sunk in and I understood. Instantly, before I knew what I was saying, I wasn’t just asking Jesus to come into my heart and my life, but also to make me an instrument in His Plan.
That night all that pressure that was gradually added to my soul through the years, was lifted from me. Since that time, He has been continually revealing Himself as a very personal and intimate Bridegroom King. The One who sets the captives free, heals the sick, comforts the hurting, rejoices and sings over the ones He loves and longs to spend time with His beloved. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to email or call me! I love to talk about Him!
