Afternoons with Paul

nicki

Weekdays 3-6 pm, Sundays 6-9 am

I love being on Afternoons with you! God had a plan for me. In 1971, in the basement of St. John’s Evangelical Lutheran Church in Oshkosh, I began a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and have never regretted it. I got the broadcasting bug in high school and before I knew it, graduated from college with a degree in Radio/TV Film. I grew up listening to The Family. In 1977, I was listening to the radio and thought “it can be better than this!” Well, God had a sense of humor by making my dreams of working in Christian radio a reality when I joined The Family in 1981.

Throughout the years I’ve held every job position and done every on-air shift – including a 13 hour shift one time. Whew! It’s been great to watch God mold and shape the station into what it is today. My wife Gloria & I met at Lake Lundgren Bible Camp when I was a counselor for a week during the summertime. She was working in the kitchen. There’s a lot to the story, but simply put, we got engaged at camp, married at camp and now our grandchildren go to the camp! So grateful for God using LLBC in our lives.

We’ve been married 46 years and it’s gone by way too fast. We’re blessed with 3 grown children, Danielle, Alicia & Zachariah. My life verse is 1st Thessalonians 4:11-12. “Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life: You should mind your own business and work with your hands, just as we told you, so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody.” I’ve found the verse is sort of counter cultural. We are so busy these days and don’t really take much time to be quiet and mind our own business. It’s definitely something I work towards each day! Some of my favorite pastimes include fishing, biking and watching the waves at a lake.

Evenings with Heather

Weekdays 6-9 pm

Even though I didn’t talk until after the age of 2, my mom said I never stopped!

I love that I get to share life with you on the radio. I have been married to Paul for over 25 years.  We have 3 adult kids, one in grad school, one in the Navy and one in college.  I am a cat person with two in our home, Ruby who is 10 and Maize who is 12.

My favorite verse is Proverbs 3:5-6:  Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.  In all your ways acknowledge him and he will make your paths straight.

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.

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!
