Jefferson City residents will head to the polls on November 4 to cast ballots on a lodging tax that is aimed at getting a conference center. Mayor Ron Fitzwater supports the lodging tax measure and a conference center, saying there are more than 100 associations in Jefferson City and that some of them can't hold their meetings in the Capital City because there isn't enough space. He also is ecstatic about the new Olive Garden coming to Jefferson City:

Today on the podcast we feature the leadership team of the Jefferson City, Missouri, chapter. They are NPM's 2025 Chapter of the year! We discuss the ways the chapter has increased their membership, cultivated consistent programming, and some of the most important relationships that have strengthened the chapter.

We live in a world that's crowded yet lonely—where fear, shame, individualism, and isolation fracture the human heart. But in Christ, God doesn't leave us in hiding—He forms us into a family that rejoices and weeps together. In this message, Pastor David unpacks how the gospel frees us from individualism and isolation to live as one family in Jesus. You'll see why real joy and real sorrow are meant to be shared, not shouldered alone.

David Stokes, Elias Tsapelas, and Avery Frank join Zach Lawhorn to discuss local ballot measures in Missouri, including new hotel taxes in Springfield and Jefferson City, municipal use and gas taxes, how the ongoing federal shutdown could jeopardize food stamp benefits for hundreds of thousands of Missourians and what the federal Rural Health Transformation Fund means for reform, and emerging ideas in energy policy such as consumer regulated electricity and the debate over data center development in Missouri.

He will be inducted in the Missouri Veterans Hall of Fame on Friday, October 24th. The ceremony will take place in the rotunda of the State Capitol in Jefferson City. Just two months into his Army service in Vietnam, Jim was on patrol when he stepped on a land mine. He ended up losing both of his legs below the knee. April 25th, 1969 is the day that changed his life and in turn, it has changed the lives of hundreds, if not thousands of other veterans with whom he came in contact. Every April 25th, Jim celebrates his “Alive Day” with family and friends to note this turning point in his life. The “Milkshake Man” was born in the early 1990s. He has had an impact on many veterans who have suffered similar injuries. During visits to Walter Reed Hospital, Jim started bringing them McDonalds milkshakes to make them feel more at home and give them a feeling of comfort. Jim worked at the VA from 1978 to 2007 and then moved to the Wounded Warrior Project as the Director of Peer Mentoring from 2007 to 2016.

We live in a world that's more connected than ever — and more alone than ever. But into our chaos steps Jesus. He doesn't just forgive sinners; He adopts sons and daughters. He takes isolated lives and forms them into a household of love, joy, and peace in His name. This message from Pastor David shows that God is a Family who makes family — a Father, Son, and Spirit drawing us home into His life of love. In Mark 3:31–35, Jesus redefines family around Himself — not by bloodline but by faith and obedience.

American Outdoor Brands, Kraft Heinz and EquipmentShare are just of the few of the companies that have utilized Chapter 100 bonds in Columbia/Boone County for major job projects over the years. Columbia Regional Economic Development Incorporated (REDI) president Paul Eisenstein joined host Fred Parry in-studio Saturday morning on 939 the Eagle's "CEO Roundtable" program. Mr. Eisenstein tells listeners that there's been $750-million in new investment in Columbia/Boone County in the past 20 years, thanks to Chapter 100. Mr. Eisenstein also discussed air service at Columbia Regional Airport during the one-hour interview, including the return of United Airlines to COU and the popular daily Denver flight. Paul grew up in the St. Louis area and earned degrees from both St. Louis University and Washington University. He worked for the state Department of Economic Development (DED) in Jefferson City for about eight years before taking the REDI job seven months ago:

Today is the 25th anniversary of the deadly plane crash that killed then-Missouri Governor Mel Carnahan, his son Randy and aide Chris Sifford, a former reporter. Governor Carnahan served as governor from 1993 to 2000 and was running in 2000 in a high-profile U.S. Senate race against GOP incumbent John Ashcroft. Governor Carnahan's plane crashed near Goldman Missouri in rainy weather while heading to southeast Missouri's New Madrid County on a campaign stop. Governor Carnahan died on a Monday. 939 the Eagle's Brian Hauswirth and John Marsh joined hosts Randy Tobler and Stephanie Bell live this morning to reflect on that night and week. Brian reports then-Vice President Al Gore was in Jefferson City the next morning to comfort Governor Carnahan's widow, Jean. Brian also reports just a few days later, Governor Carnahan received a state funeral on the Missouri Capitol lawn. Then-President Bill Clinton, then-Vice President Gore and numerous politicians in both parties attended:

Veteran U.S. Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-Kansas City) blasts Republicans over the federal government shutdown, saying House Republicans are currently taking what he calls a four-week vacation. Congressman Cleaver has returned to Washington. U.S. Rep. Bob Onder (R), who represents Columbia, Jefferson City, Fulton, Boonville and Ashland on Capitol Hill, sees it differently. Congressman Onder was live this morning on 939 the Eagle's "Wake Up Missouri", telling listeners that this is the "Schumer Shutdown." Congressman Onder also says that as the shutdown continues, Missouri families are losing jobs and paychecks and that 8,200 Social Security checks are delayed each week. Congressman Onder says Senate Democrats could end the shutdown today and says Democrats chose to shut the government down to appease what Onder describes as their left-wing base;

From the beginning, God has revealed Himself through the language of family. He is a Father who loves fiercely, a Brother who obeys humbly, and a Husband who sacrifices faithfully. This message from Pastor Nathan shows how the nature of God Himself — Father, Son, and Spirit — draws us into His life of love and teaches us how to love one another as His family.  

Every postcard has its surprises, and this one from my collection is a little unusual. Instead of showing a scenic view or a tourist attraction, it shows a mural of a man who was both feared and admired: Jesse James, the famous Missouri outlaw. The mural is located inside the Missouri State Capitol in Jefferson City, and the fact that it ended up on a postcard tells you a lot about how Americans have remembered Jesse James—not just as a criminal, but as a larger-than-life figure of folklore. The postcard was published by Blair Cedar & Novelty Works of Camdenton, Missouri, with printing by Colorpicture of Boston, Massachusetts. Like many linen-era cards, it's vivid and bold, with stylized colors that almost make the mural look alive. On the front, the mural shows Jesse James and his gang in the middle of a train robbery—a scene that has become part of American legend. Farmers and workers stand in the background, symbolizing the state's broader history, while the train steams through the center as the action unfolds. It's a striking image: outlaw life turned into high art, displayed in the very heart of Missouri government...

Meals tell stories — and the Lord's Supper tells the greatest one of all. In 1 Corinthians 11, Paul reminds the church that the Table of Christ is not about personal status or private religion — it's about a redeemed family, united in grace and centered on Jesus. This message from Pastor David calls us to lay down our baggage, look to Jesus, and come together for the better, not the worse — as one body made whole by His blood.

Fasting isn't just self-denial—it's spiritual warfare. In this week's message, Pastor Nathan unpacks Matthew 9:14–17 and Matthew 17:14–21 to show how fasting isn't simply for self-improvement, but an active way believers resist the powers of darkness through Christ's strength.

Jesus didn't just teach, He wept. In Matthew 23:37–39, Jesus laments over Jerusalem—grieving for those who rejected Him, longing to gather them as a hen gathers her chicks. This sermon from Pastor David calls us to share Christ's compassion and recognize that His tears lead to our mission. Jesus' lament shows He is not ignorable—He is the Savior we need.

When Jesus was tempted in the wilderness, He declared: “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.” In this message, Eric unpacks Matthew 4 to show how fasting teaches us to crucify the flesh and feast on Christ, the true Bread of Life. Fasting isn't punishment—it's pursuit. It's letting go of control, resisting temptation, and finding our deepest satisfaction in Jesus.  

Missouri Gov. Mike Kehoe joins Annie Frey to reflect on the weight of Sept. 11, 2025 — a day marked by national remembrance and the shock of Charlie Kirk's assassination. Speaking fresh from a 9/11 ceremony in Jefferson City, Kehoe discusses the importance of unity, his personal connection to first responders, and the rise in political violence. He also addresses Missouri's recent moves on redistricting, law enforcement, and the state's role in reclaiming safety in cities like St. Louis. Kehoe offers insight on how Missouri is leading with common-sense conservatism and explains why he believes America must return to its founding principles of peaceful debate and mutual respect.

Protesters gathered at the Missouri Capitol on Wednesday as lawmakers aim to push through redrawing the state's congressional districts during a special session called by Gov. Mike Kehoe. The move would eliminate the Democratic-leaning 5th District in the Kansas City area. STLPR politics correspondent Jason Rosenbaum joins us from Jefferson City to break down what's happening on the ground, why the redistricting fight is contentious and what comes next as the Senate prepares to vote on the proposed map later this week.

Lawmakers return to Jefferson City this week to consider Republican proposals to change the state's congressional map and limit voters' ability to pass laws. Democrats are calling those efforts illegal and racist. We'll get a preview from STLPR's Jason Rosenbaum. Plus, actress Tina Lifford credits her longevity towards prioritizing her mental wellness. STLPR's Marissanne Lewis-Thompson spoke with the Illinois native ahead of her appearance this week at the Own Your Now Wellness Experience in St. Louis about her career, mental health, and how she became an actress.

Missouri House members from all corners of the state will be driving to Jefferson City on this Monday morning for the special session on congressional redistricting and initiative petition changes. The full Missouri House convenes at 2 pm. Republican Governor Mike Kehoe called the special session, saying action is needed to ensure our congressional districts and state Constitution put Missouri values first. Democrats disagree, saying the GOP is trying to gerrymander congressional districts. "Missouri Times" publisher Scott Faughn was live on 939 the Eagle's "Wake Up Missouri" this morning with hosts Randy Tobler and Stephanie Bell. He discussed the special session and tonight's roast in Jefferson City for Missouri Senate President Pro Tem Cindy O'Laughlin (R-Shelbina), who represents Randolph County in the 939 the Eagle listening area. Mr. Faughn says State Sen. Rusty Black, GOP consultant Jeff Roe and others will be in Jefferson City for tonight's roast. Mr. Faughn says it will benefit Safe Passage in Moberly, which helps victims of domestic violence:

What if fasting isn't about conquering your body but opening your hands in submission and surrender? This week's sermon explores fasting not as a ritual for results but as a response to  focus on Jesus. From Moses and Elijah to Jesus in the wilderness, fasting has always been about remembering God, releasing control, and hungering for the Bread of Life.

Missouri Gov. Mike Kehoe isn't just calling lawmakers back to Jefferson City to redraw the state's congressional lines. He's also urging lawmakers to make monumental changes to Missouri's initiative petition system. Kehoe's proposal would drastically raise the bar for some proposed constitutional amendments to be enacted. The idea has received strong support from Missouri Secretary of State Denny Hoskins, a Republican. Hoskins responds to points raised by the plan's detractors and explains why he feels the proposal will fare well at the ballot box.

On the latest episode of the Politically Speaking Hour on St. Louis on the Air, STLPR's Jason Rosenbaum reports from Jefferson City on what could be a pivotal special session. Rosenbaum talks with House Minority Leader Ashley Aune about a proposed redraw of the state's congressional lines and Secretary of State Denny Hoskins about a proposal making it harder for ballot items to pass.

Missouri's special session in Jefferson City is underway on congressional redistricting and initiative petition reforms changes. Missouri Senate President Pro Tem Cindy O'Laughlin (R-Shelbina) was live on 939 the Eagle's "Wake Up Missouri". She tells hosts Randy Tobler and Stephanie Bell that Missouri's Constitution has become a dumping ground for progressive causes and that IP reform is needed. She also says the Senate will start work on the special session on Wednesday and should vote on the bills next Friday:

Some Missouri lawmakers return to Jefferson City today for a special session on congressional redistricting and on amending the state's initiative petition process. Governor Mike Kehoe (R) announced the call Friday afternoon, and Democrats are furious. State Rep. LaKeySha Bosley (D-St. Louis) says the integrity of our democratic system is at stake. Governor Kehoe and other Republicans want to see a 7-1 GOP congressional map in Missouri, rather than the current 6-2 map. The governor joined hosts Randy Tobler and Jennifer Bukowsky live on 939 the Eagle's "Wake Up Missouri" and says he's optimistic that both measures, the congressional redistricting maps and IP changes, will pass. Governor Kehoe also tells listeners that Missourians have elected GOP supermajorities to both chambers and have elected Republicans to every statewide office:

Missouri lawmakers return to Jefferson City Wednesday for a special session on congressional redistricting and on amending the state's initiative petition process. Governor Mike Kehoe (R) announced the call Friday afternoon, and Democrats are furious. Missouri House Majority Floor Leader Alex Riley (R-Springfield) agrees with the governor's call. But Democrats like State Rep. LaKeySha Bosley (D-St. Louis), one of the Missouri House's senior members, say the integrity of our democratic system is at stake. Representative Bosley says the proposed redistricting efforts also risk Governor Kehoe's own promise to lead with fairness and integrity. "Missouri Times" publisher Scott Faughn joined hosts Randy Tobler and Stephanie Bell live on 939 the Eagle's "Wake Up Missouri." Mr. Faughn tells listeners that the Missouri Legislature will approve a 7-1 GOP congressional map and predicts the courts will uphold it. He also says we'll see some protests in Jefferson City:

What does a healthy church look like? Acts 6 gives us some blueprint. This week, Pastor David unpacks how disciples, deacons, and shepherds serve different roles but share one mission, so the Word increases, disciples multiply, and Jesus is exalted

Have you ever considered prayer as an act of love and war/resistance? This week, Pastor David walks through Ephesians 3 and 6, showing how Paul begins with prayer for love and ends with prayer as warfare. We stand together as one body in Christ—rooted in His love, resisting the powers of darkness/evil, and declaring that Jesus is everything.

How likely is Congressional redistricting in Missouri? UMKC Political Science Professor Debra Leiter says Missourians are getting, 'mixed messages from Jefferson City,' regarding redistricting ahead of the 2030 US Census. She says the US Constitution gives state legislatures, 'quite a lot of leeway,' in how to handle drawing district lines. With Megan Lynch.

8-19-2025: Wake Up Missouri with Stephanie Bell, Peter Thiele, John Marsh, and Producer Drake

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! For nearly 170 years, the Missouri State Penitentiary in Jefferson City stood as both a fortress and a nightmare. Opening its gates in 1836, it was the oldest continuously operating prison west of the Mississippi until it finally closed in 2004. In that time, it saw more than its share of darkness—countless injuries, violent deaths, and the infamous 1954 riot that led Time Magazine to brand it “the bloodiest 47 acres in America.” But just because the prisoners left doesn't mean the prison is empty. Today, the long, echoing corridors are filled with something else—apparitions lurking in shadow, disembodied voices, and an oppressive sense that you're never truly alone. Guides and visitors alike say the past is still very much alive within these stone walls. On this episode of The Grave Talks, Part Two of our conversation with ghost tour guide Jenny Switzer about the history—and hauntings—of the Missouri State Penitentiary.

Steve and Amy travel to Jefferson City, MO, where a family has had to abandon their new home in order to escape the intense paranormal activity inside of it. Even worse they're worried their young daughter has been possessed by one of the dark entities tormenting them. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

A popular Jefferson City diner, a Glasgow company celebrating 65 years in business, the turnout for Columbia's budget town halls and Disney were some of the winners of the week this morning on 939 the Eagle's "Wake Up Missouri"." Hosts Peter Thiele and John Marsh were joined in-studio by news director Brian Hauswirth and Producer Drake:

The Missouri legislature spent a lot of time in the spring working to un-do laws that voters passed on November's ballot — including paid sick leave and abortion. Now, a group called Respect Missouri Voters wants to stop lawmakers in Jefferson City from doing that.

Missouri Secretary of State Denny Hoskins joins Marc to break down the critical effort to undo last year's disastrous Amendment 3 abortion ruling, which legalized late-term abortion up to birth in the state constitution after heavy out-of-state spending and misleading ballot language. Hoskins explains the new legislative fix, HJR 73, coming to the 2026 ballot with clearer language and protections for rape, incest, and the mother's life—more in line with Missouri values. He also details his expanded role in crafting the ballot language and the inevitable lawsuits challenging his wording. The conversation touches on Missouri's fight against foreign dark money in elections and Hoskins' strong support for term limits to curb entrenched politicians in Washington and Jefferson City. The battle ahead is clear: conservatives must stay engaged and fund opposition to deceptive campaigns if they want to protect Missouri's pro-life stance.

Marc and Kim deliver a sharp, no-nonsense breakdown of today's biggest political and cultural stories through a conservative lens. Hour 1 exposes the flight of business from overregulated blue states like California to freedom-loving red states such as Tennessee, while roasting St. Louis' economic failures and debunking myths about government “free” perks. Hour 2 highlights the deep dysfunction in Missouri's Jefferson City with Lt. Gov. Wasinger, the death of hybrid work, and the real reasons behind Stephen Colbert's firing — a $40 million money cut, not politics. Hour 3 digs into swamp resistance against conservative reform in Missouri, the uncertain future of Kansas City sports, and Donald Trump's fight to restore traditional team names. Hour 4 confronts the human cost of sanctuary city policies with a Border Patrol shooting, then shifts to sports with Tom Ackerman breaking down the Cardinals' hopeful rebuild under Heim Bloom and spotlighting Scottie Scheffler's golf dominance. Missouri Senator Adam Schnelting wraps with a call to conservatives for a GOP golf fundraiser supporting local candidates. Hard truths, conservative values, and local activism drive this power-packed show.

Hour 2 tackles Missouri politics with a preview of Lieutenant Governor David Wasinger on the recent legislative session and the pressing need for change in Jefferson City. Meanwhile, the hosts break down the death of hybrid work models as companies ditch flexibility, forcing workers back into offices amid growing dissatisfaction. The spotlight turns to Stephen Colbert's firing, exposed as a financial decision to cut a $40 million loss rather than political pressure, signaling a brutal shakeup in late-night TV. The hour darkens with a disturbing local animal abuse case in Chesterfield where a man was arrested for setting a groundhog on fire, followed by a nostalgic reunion of the surviving “Sound of Music” cast in Italy — a brief light moment amid serious issues.

Marc hosts Missouri Lieutenant Governor David Wasinger to review the recent legislative session, highlighting the ongoing battle against Jefferson City's entrenched swamp and special interests. They discuss the stalled stadium funding deal risking the Chiefs and Royals' future, the need to overhaul Senate rules to break legislative gridlock, and the perils of ballot initiatives driven by left-wing billionaires bypassing lawmakers—especially on issues like abortion, gambling, and minimum wage. Wasinger urges conservatives to financially support the Missouri Right to Life fight ahead of the upcoming Amendment 3 ballot battle, with Laura Trump headlining a major fundraiser. The interview closes with a call to action for grassroots voters to back candidates committed to real reform and conservative priorities.

Hour 3 digs into Missouri's political battles with Lt. Governor David Wasinger revealing the swampy resistance to conservative change in Jefferson City. Wasinger calls out the state Senate's bloated constitution, left-wing ballot initiatives hijacking state law, and the urgent need to overhaul Senate rules to get real conservative legislation done. The ongoing Kansas City stadium funding drama leaves fans wondering if the Chiefs and Royals will stay in Missouri. On the culture front, Kim and Marc spotlight Donald Trump demanding pro sports teams ditch politically correct names like the Washington Commanders and Cleveland Guardians, pushing to bring back the “Redskins” and “Indians” as symbols of strength and heritage. The hour ends with calls for grassroots involvement in local politics and upcoming interviews on Missouri sports and elder abuse legislation.
