Battle Cry
Welcome to our new YES-FM DJ BLOG! This will give you a chance to know some of our DJs a little better and see how weird we really are. OK, weirder than you already think we are! I’m Jeff Howe, YES-FM’s Program Director, which means I’m in charge of and oversee what goes on the air here at YES-FM and am the afternoon DJ from 2:30-6:00.
April 13 and 14 I had the opportunity to go to Battle Cry in Detroit with my church’s youth group (shouts out to Revolution Youth at Cathedral of Praise!). P.O.D. was there along with Hawk Nelson, Tye Tribbet and Hillsong United did worship. Flyleaf was supposed to be there but Lacy, the lead singer, was too sick to perform. Bummer! Skillet played in their place. Not a bad trade out!! All the bands were great, Skillet and Hawk performed flawlessly!! A+!
Ron Luce was the featured speaker and he was awesome! He really slapped me up a bit (gently and lovingly!). He challenged us to be God stalkers!! Psycho followers!! He talked about the state of our culture and it reinforced how important YES-FM is to the area. I left there refreshed and renewed! A former terrorist that got radically saved spoke there as well. I was impressed how well spoken his English was and how well he know the bible. We Americans are so pitiful sometimes in our walk with God (he didn’t say that, I thought that!!).
For those that went, I’d love to hear how Battle Cry affected your life! jhowe@yeshome.com
The event will be back next year, though it looks like at will be called Acquire The Fire instead of Battle Cry and it will be at Joe Louis Arena instead of Ford Field and it will also be in Grand Rapids Michigan.
See you later!
