Tomorrow, (Tuesday, May 25th) from 2:30PM-3:30PM I'll be on the radio for 2 straight shows (2:30 & 3). just wanted all you guys to know in case you're bored and wanted to listen?(When i was a little kid i was on the radio a couple times, but just as a caller. This will be my 1st time actually being interviewed. pretty exciting.)
If you really want to listen, i'll be on 89.3 The Storm. They'll be interviewing me on the 2:30PM show and the 3PM show back to back.
(i'll be honest, i have never actually listened to 89.3 here in Charlotte. anybody out there listen to this station?)
The topic for both shows will be Social Justice. That's what i was asked to talk about in this radio interview.
i think specifically the hosts will be asking me about some cool stuff like: - Advent Conspiracy and building some clean water wells through Living Water International,
- Compassion International and specifically the Upstreet kids sponsoring a child in Kenya through Project Generosity at Ridge Church.
- the Junky Car Club!
- and the Now Project at Ridge Church.
(i have probably written 50 blogs posts on all these things, but instead of linking them - if you really want to know what i have to say about this stuff just use the "SEARCH" option up in the top left hand corner of renown. example - type in "Advent Conspiracy" and all my posts will come up for you.)
So, if you want to listen to these 2 shows with me on the radio you can simply tune into 89.3 here in the Charlotte, North Carolina area at 2:30PM.
But, if you don't live in Charlotte, here are a few links for you to listen live online!
- For live streaming audio click HERE.
- it looks like (unfortunately) you must listen to the streaming radio show with Windows Media Player. (so, if you have a MAC like me the links won't work and you will have to download WMP for MAC HERE.
- on your iPhone, download the "Pocket Tunes" app to listen to 89.3.
- on any other phone you can download an App called "Moodio" HERE.
*Hopefully the interviews will go well. my prayer is to represent Jesus well and somehow bring Him glory and make His name famous to people who may not think much about God. i'm excited to talk about "social justice" = helping the poor and those who live in poverty. for me it's a God thing. it is the gospel. it's not separate.

I would take the opportunity to consult with the interviewer and collectively coin a new phrase. "Social Justice" makes my skin crawl. It's not used as a fancy way to say "charity" anymore. It's been perverted into a political term that's nothing less than a codeword for Socialism or Communism. Giving to those less fortunate is honorable and actually commanded by God. Taking from others to give is theft no matter how you spin it.
Congrats on being on the radio, I think you're doing a great thing.
Dude,

Sorry I couldn't catch tour interview Patrick, I tried to get it on my boombox, the speakers are messed up on this laptop... Is it archived?
In re: Anonymous.
Social Justice web definitions: "The fair distribution of advantages, assets, and benefits among all members of a society."
Social Justice is not a handout. It is something we all do together... what Anonymous doesn't get with the whole red scare mentality is that our very lifestyle is rooted in injustice and we have to figure out how to free ourselves from being the oppressor. http://www.jesusmanifesto.com/2009/10/greed-america-and-the-rich-young-ruler/
