Sunday March 1, 2009: I preached for about 45 minutes in the Sunday evening service of the church of the pastor who had been sick from Job 21:34 and Isaiah 28:14-17 on “No Excuse for Sinning”.
Monday March 2, 2009-Last Wednesday, while I was preaching a student invited me to be on the University radio station.
The show airs on Thursday nights around 7:00 PM. It is a talk show and they always prerecord it so they can edit it. I was unable to show up last Thursday because I had the debate with the Baptist pastor.
The student who invited me to be on the show was able to set up the prerecording for Monday (March 2, 2009) for 12:30 PM. Sister Elizabeth and I met him around 12:15 PM and we headed to the studio.
We were introduced to the 3 other members of the show (all males). There were two other male student interns and one female (she was the radio interviewer’s girlfriend).
We began prerecording around 12:20 PM. They began the show with introductions, personal questions about my childhood, then conversion and how I got started as an open air preacher.
Then they asked me questions about the practical aspects of open air preaching. After, that they asked questions about the Bible, morality, other religions, etc. very much like the discussions we have daily on the campuses.
The hosts asked good questions, were very civil, and allowed me to express myself and answer all the questions. They did a good job asking questions. At times the discussion became intense but remained civil.
We recorded for about 1 hour and 30 minutes. I thought the show was about 30 minutes long and they were going to pull out about 30 minutes of discussion for the show. However, I learned they were recording enough to cover the next 3-4 weeks of shows. Praise the Lord!
At the end of the show they showed appreciation and genuine thankfulness for being their guest and invited me to come back next time.
Sister Elizabeth and I left the studio around 2:00 PM and headed to the free speech area. I arrived in the free speech area around 2:25 PM and began preaching. It was very cool out.
I preached and answered questions to small groups of 10-30 until 4:00 PM.
We met a young man, named George whom we had heard about from another preacher. He had come down from Ohio and had been preaching on this campus on a daily basis for several weeks. He heard me preaching and came over to introduce himself. After I finished preaching Sister Elizabeth and I went and talked to him for about 15 minutes.
