“Let me look down here in my ‘gander bag’ and see what that question is that I have for you, Brother Kellers! Oh, yes, here it is...”

And so another Sunday morning radio edition of “Ask the Pastor” begins from Gallatin, Tennessee, radio station WHIN, 1010 on your AM dial. It is also streamed live on the Internet. In its second month of 10:00-10:30 a.m. broadcasts, Fred Kellers and J.R. Williams are attracting an increasing number of listeners.

“Ask the Pastor” features a unique format in religious programing. J.R. Williams, a Nashville country music personality, poses interesting and often controversial questions on Bible subjects to the pastor of United Church of God in Nashville. What attracts the listeners is the friendly, informal and conversational way the questions and answers are presented.

The first week’s discussions featured such potentially provocative subjects as “Will You Go to Heaven?” “Where Will the Kingdom of God Be?” “Is Easter Celebration in the Bible?” “Who Is Really in Charge In World Affairs?” “Who Was the God of the Old Testament?” and “Are You Saved Now?”

Humorous back-and-forth quips help hold the listeners’ attention. Fred has “threatened” a few times to use duct tape on J.R.’s mouth for interrupting. One lady, who lives in Ohio, wrote expressing her great appreciation for the broadcast and added that “her next letter would contain a donation to buy some duct tape.”

It is hoped that the broadcast can be a tool that God can use to preach the gospel of the Kingdom in the end of the age. Your prayers are certainly asked for and appreciated.
