The Gospel on the Radio Talk Show is broadcast on 97.9 FM in Tallahassee, FL
The Heart of the Christian Life The Christian life is a journey of humility and forgiveness, a path that often looks different from what the world expects. In this message, Pastor King shares personal stories and biblical insights to guide us toward a deeper understanding of what it truly means to follow Christ. He reflects on how church life has changed over the years, from the music we sing to the way we worship, and emphasizes that while forms may change, the foundational truths of the gospel remain the same. In this teaching, you will discover: -- The importance of humility, which is not about having a low self-image but about prioritizing God and others over ourselves. -- The power of forgiveness, a central message of Christ's ministry and a core practice for every believer. -- The need to live out our faith in a way that honors God, even when it means going against cultural norms or personal desires. -- The biblical basis of the church, launched by Jesus and founded on Peter's confession that He is the Christ, the Son of the living God. -- The importance of repentance, the powerful message preached by John the Baptist, which prepares the heart for Christ's message of grace.

Join Pastor Jack King for "Operation Midnight Hammer," kicking off August with reflections on his busy July, including a highly successful Christian Youth Ministries International (CYMI) camp where he taught young people about the plan of salvation from Genesis to Christ's sacrifice. He then shifts focus to his church, Freedom Road Christian Ministry (formerly First Church of the Open Bible), and their recent move to a new 7,000-square-foot facility at 4141 Appalachee Parkway. Recognizing shifts in church attendance post-COVID, Pastor King is seeking community input on how to best serve Tallahassee. He invites listeners to text him with suggestions for ministry needs, asking: -- How can Freedom Road Christian Ministry most effectively reach the community? -- What specific needs does the community have that the church can address (e.g., counseling for divorce, family-oriented ministries)? Pastor King also shares an intriguing story about a 15-year, highly classified military operation, "Operation Midnight Hammer," initiated under President Donald J. Trump, which successfully obliterated Iran's nuclear capabilities. He explains the process of uranium enrichment and the development of the GBU-57 "bunker buster" weapon specifically designed to penetrate and destroy Iran's deeply buried nuclear sites. The operation culminated in a ceasefire agreement after a 12-day war between Iran and Israel, following Israel's initial actions to neutralize Iran's air defense systems. Pastor King encourages Christian ministries to reach out and schedule an appearance on the show to share their work with the community.

On today's "Gospel of the Radio Talk Show," Pastor Jack King tackles the pressing concerns weighing on believers' minds amidst escalating global tensions. He recounts being asked about the "end of the world" as a young man in the Navy during a Middle East conflict in the 1970s and how that same question persists today. While acknowledging that biblical prophecy, particularly the Battle of Armageddon, will involve Israel, Pastor King firmly states that no one knows the day or hour of Christ's return. He cautions against getting swept up in political speculation and news commentary, instead pointing listeners to the clear biblical warnings, like the parable of the wise and foolish virgins. The core message is not one of fear or frantic prediction, but of diligent preparation. Pastor King encourages a practical, common-sense faith that calls every Christian to live a life worthy of the gospel, staying close to the Master and ensuring their spiritual "lamps" are trimmed and burning. This episode serves as a powerful reminder to focus on our personal walk with God, so that no matter what unfolds on the world stage, we are found ready. Pastor King also invites local listeners to a 4th of July celebration at Freedom Road Christian Ministry, located at 4141 Appalachee Parkway.

"When God moves, the mountains step aside." --Pastor Jack King In this encouraging episode of "The Gospel on the Radio Talk Show," Pastor Jack King takes a break from interviewing guests to share a message directly from his heart, inspired by a song that has deeply ministered to him through recent personal and ministry challenges. The song, "When God Moves" by the Troy Burns Family, has become an anthem for him during the complex process of relocating Freedom Road Christian Ministry and its radio studio. Pastor King transparently discusses the technical glitches and demanding workload that come with such a massive undertaking, admitting that even seasoned ministers face their share of "bugs" and frustrations. Yet, amidst these "mountains," he finds strength and a powerful reminder of God's faithfulness. Drawing on the song's lyrics and the imagery of the mustard seed, Pastor King delves into what happens "When God Moves." He emphasizes that God responds to faith—even faith as small as a mustard seed. This "mustard seed theology," as he calls it, isn't about the size of your faith, but about exercising whatever faith you have. By consistently applying your faith, you grow stronger, developing a spiritual command that can speak to literal "mountains" in your life and see them step aside. This teaching serves as a powerful encouragement for anyone facing daunting obstacles. It's a reminder that God's power is limitless, and His intervention can transform seemingly insurmountable challenges. Pastor King invites listeners to reflect on the times God has moved in their own lives and to recognize that their persistent faith is the key to unlocking His miraculous power. Tune in for a candid, heartfelt, and faith-building message that reassures us of God's active presence in our struggles. Episode #1229 ******* This is the radio program with the music removed.

In this heartfelt episode of "The Gospel on the Radio Talk Show," Pastor Jack King, your host for over two decades, shares a powerful observation: a profound spiritual hunger is awakening, particularly among younger generations. Many are "finding the church" and seeking a genuine relationship with God after years of indifference or distance. Pastor King transparently opens up about his own spiritual journey, from a childhood steeped in church to a pivotal time at age 14 when he began to question his beliefs and solidify his personal commitment to Christ. He candidly shares how this led to foundational life decisions, including a commitment to faithfulness before marriage, a story he elaborates on in his book, Dreams and Visions and Stories of Faith. He then breaks down the spiritual awakening process into three key stages: Wondering: A period of contemplation where individuals, perhaps previously indifferent or even rejecting God, begin to open their minds to spiritual possibilities due to life circumstances or divine nudges. Seeking: Moving beyond mere wondering, this stage involves a conscious decision to actively pursue God, much like Pastor King's own experience crying out to God under a stairwell at Bible college. Embracing the Holy Spirit: The crucial next step, where a seeker discovers the personal, intimate relationship with the Holy Spirit—the part of the Godhead that connects directly with our hearts, translates our groans, and delivers God's message back to us. Pastor King emphasizes that this relationship cleanses and convicts, leading to deeper spiritual growth. Throughout the episode, Pastor King underscores that the Christian walk is a continuous, often challenging, but ultimately joyful journey. He offers a warm invitation to Freedom Road Christian Ministry, a growing church with a new facility on Apalachee Parkway, where he hopes to mentor and influence those on their own seeking journey. He also highlights various radio programs and events from his ministry, including the popular Saturday Night Gospel Sing. Tune in for an encouraging message that speaks directly to the heart of the modern seeker. Episode #1228 ******* This is the radio program with the music removed.
