Jesus prayed for you!

Did you know that you are a living, breathing answer to prayer?

You are a living, breathing answer to prayer.

Did you know Jesus directly prayed for you?

In the book of John, chapter 17 describes in detail the prayer Jesus said to His heavenly Father just before He knew He would be arrested and sent to the cross. 

Jesus prayed and asked God for three things: 

1. Glory to the Son & the Father

Father, the hour has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you. For you granted him authority over all people that he might give eternal life to all those you have given him. John 17:1-2

2. Protection & Unity for His Disciples

Holy Father, protect them by the power of your name, the name you gave me, so that they may be one as we are one. John 17:11b

3. Belief for Future Generations

I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. John 17:20b-21

How would you respond?

If you knew that soldiers were on their way and you would soon be sentenced to a gruesome and painful death, you’d be praying for your own safety, right?

Not, Jesus. Jesus, prayed for you!

You are the living, breathing future generation that Jesus tenderly prayed to God about.

As a believer, you are the disciple that Jesus fervently requests to know God’s love, protection, and unity.

You are who Jesus had in mind when He prayed this prayer:

 “Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world.  John 17:24

Jesus asked God for you to be where He is and because of His sacrifice – you can be.

One day you will sit with the man, who is himself God, who chose to pray for you.

Will you join The Family in praying like Jesus? 

Pray that God is glorified.

Pray that we may be united as believers in our mission to win more souls for Christ.

Pray that everyone who doesn’t know God will come across the right friend, the right song and the right radio station that will point them to their loving Savior.

I believe that God uses Christian radio in a powerful way.

I am honored to be part of The Family team and pray that God will bless your family and the entire Wisconsin community.

I’m married to my high school sweetheart Dustin. We have two wonderful teenage girls – Abigail and Liz. Our dogs keep us busy! Daisy is a Bichon Frise and Millie is an English Cocker Spaniel.

Weekends with Donna

Saturdays 3-7 pm, Sundays 12-4 pm

As a radio personality, I’ve done a little bit of everything. With a background in both mainstream and Christian media. My career began in Top 40, rock, and country radio before following God’s  calling into ministry radio in 2002. Over the years, I’ve had appearances on VH1, served as an entertainment reporter, and now I’m honored to share stories of hope, encouragement, and faith on the radio.

I’m married to Don (yes, Don and Donna) and we enjoy taking cooking classes as well as cooking at home, gardening, traveling and puppy-sitting! We love serving at our church and checking out live music too. God has taken our family through some faith-building challenges and I’m thankful for His grace and mercy every day! 

Weekends with John

Weekends 10 pm to midnight

I love being a part of The Biggest Family Room in Wisconsin and am so grateful I get to spend weekend evenings with you! I was born in Wisconsin, but my family moved to The Gambia, a small country in West Africa, when I was 1. I was blessed to spend 6 years of childhood in Africa climbing and falling out of trees, avoiding crazy snakes and bugs, and learning about God’s love. From the time I was young, I knew that I wanted to spend my life telling others about how amazing Jesus is. I spent hours in my room as a child building Legos and listening to Christian music.

In high school I randomly took a broadcasting production class and thought it would be an easy credit to help me graduate. Little did I know God would use that class to ignite a passion for radio and broadcasting! I went to Moody Bible Institute in Chicago and developed an even deeper love for Christ.

I met my wife in the student dining room while we were both students. We got married in December of 2020 and have enjoyed several amazing years together. During my time at Moody, I had the honor of interning with Moody Radio and Focus on the Family. I love hiking, biking, and drinking fancy (snobby) coffee and espresso in my free time. I enjoy connecting with listeners across Wisconsin and learning about their “right song at the right time” moment. Thanks for spending your weekend evenings with me.
