Straight from the Studio. . .

. . . talk about heroes, their moms and dads and the protection of life. A behind-the-scenes glimpse of the upcoming 4th of July radio special from Life Issues,

"Life and Liberty, Calling a Nation to Prayer--for our Children."

"I’ve been privileged to be part of the production team pulling together the incredible stories of young men and women serving in Iraq and Afghanistan for the Life Issues special coming up 4th of July. This isn’t commercial. It’s the overflow of my heart hearing a mother who’s two sons and a son-in-law are choosing to serve in harm’s way; of a young successful neurologist—a doctor at Walter Reed who doesn’t have to do more than what she’s doing in healing the lives, yet is volunteering to serve in Afghanistan in an airborne medical unit; of a young 22-year-old who’s been a gunner on a Humvee and received citations for being shot at the most and surviving and who says, “I’m here so that just one child can have a life like my daughter has.”

For Brad Mattes and Ellen who’s son Nick (pictured above) is on his way back from Iraq, and who is the catalyst for this special—we are so proud of these young people. You will be too! Today after a recording, we prayed, we shed tears and we rejoiced to be just a small part of this story!" -Evelyn Gibson
