Tonight's Show! Caleb Breakey and Judy Ducharme

Christian Devotions SPEAK UP! December 17

6:00 p.m. EST

Authors

Caleb Breakey &

Judith DuCharme

Join us this week on Christian Devotions SPEAK UP! as Scott weaves together the topic of youth staying in the church with the Green Bay Packers. Crazy? Tune in to find out. Caleb Breakey is a former journalist and author of the new book, Called to Stay (Harvest House). He is a frequent conference speaker with a sincere passion to lead, challenge, and inspire others in discussions about relationships, the church, and radically following Jesus. Ever since earning a degree in journalism at the age of twenty from Western Washington University, Caleb has published hundreds of articles in various publications (such as Chicken Soup, The Seattle Times, MLB.com, Christian Broadcast Network), been named a finalist for Sportswriter of the Year by the WNPA, and has interviewed numerous professional athletes and musicians, including Rogers Clemens, Derek Jeter, Jake Locker, Casting Crowns, and Emerson Drive. Caleb and his wife Brittney live in WashingtonState. More information about Caleb can be found online at www.calebbreakey.com.
  Judy DuCharme was a teacher for twenty-two years. Coming from a family of teachers, it seemed a natural fit. She retired in June of 2012. She grew up in the small lakeside town of Harrisville in the northern part of Michigan’s Lower Peninsula, the youngest of four children. Following college, MichiganStateUniversity, Judy worked as an announcer at a Christian radio station near Lansing. She married Lee in 1975 and they lived in the Detroit suburbs of Berkley and Royal Oak until moving to Wisconsin’s beautiful Door Peninsula in early 1984. At her first writers’ conference, Judy met Eddie Jones of Lighthouse Publishing of the Carolinas. He was the one who suggested The Cheesehead Devotional. Anyone who knows Judy knows what a crazy Packer fan she is. So, combining two great loves—first and foremost her love for the Lord, and, secondly, her love for the Packers—seemed a perfect match. Several months later, The Cheesehead Devotional became a reality. If you know someone who would be a great guest on Christian Devotions SPEAK UP! contact Scott@christiandevotions.us.

Next Week's Show~Nate Stevens

Christian Devotions SPEAK UP! December 10

6:00 p.m. EST

Author, Matched 4 Marriage, Meant 4 Life

Nate Stevens

Join us this week on Christian Devotions SPEAK UP! where the topic of marriage steps to the stage. How do we know when the “time is right”? Nate Stevens has studied Scripture for answers and has written a book on how we can know when God is drawing two people together. As a missionary kid who grew up in a Christian home and church, Stevens provides a refreshingly different approach to dating and romantic relationships. His own relational misunderstandings and avoidable mistakes prompted the research and discovery for this book. It is his sincere hope that this book will inspire his children and all audiences to fully consider and strategically pursue true compatibility—in all four aspects. Stevens raises the reader's awareness to the four relational aspects of life: spiritual, intellectual, emotional, and physical. He explains the importance of fully developing the spirit, mind, soul, and body and then describes how they each affect our relational pursuits. He encourages an interdependent relationship as the healthy alternative to dependence or independence. Also identified are the enduring behaviors involved in a successful and enjoyable marriage. Stevens' goal is to lead the reader to a balanced, abundant life and a rewarding journey toward a compatible, fulfilling, and lifelong marriage. Nate currently lives near Charlotte, North Carolina, and is an active dad with his two awesome kids, Melissa and Mitchell.

Tonight's Show ~ Matt Papa

Christian Devotions SPEAK UP!

December 3

6:00 p.m. EST

Worship Artist

Matt Papa

Join us this week on Christian Devotions SPEAK UP! as host Scott McCausey chats with Matt Papa about the words contained in the songs we sing to worship Christ. Matt Papa is a minister and recording artist based out of Raleigh, North Carolina where he lives with his wife Lauren and their three daughters, Paisley, Stella, & Sofi. He serves as an Artist-In-Residence and Worship Leader at The Summit Church in Durham. For over a decade, Matt has been writing and recording songs that are saturated with God's Truth. To Papa, a song is more than just lyrics and melody—it's a sermon people remember. His latest studio release, Look & Live, is a loud & liberating call to people everywhere to break the chains of boredom, addiction, and idolatry...not ultimately by trying harder but by experiencing a greater thrill—the beauty and glory of God. At the heart of Papa's ministry is a vision to see the nations worship the One True God; and to that end, Matt radically leverages his life, his ministry, and his music.
