Loudmouth, antagonistic, arrogant.  And those are some of the nicer things said about Kevin Slaten!  King Kevin, as his legions of fans call him, has been stirring it up on St. Louis airwaves for more than 30 years.  This enlightening and provocative interview digs into, among many subjects, Kevin’s long running feud with Tony LaRussa, his role in the Joe Paterno scandal that made national news, and his well-publicized battles with fans and media alike.

1984.  It’s more than the name of a famous book or rock album.  For Dave Simons, 1984 marks a compelling story that close friends have suggested that he share.  And he does so for the first time in this week’s Quick Hit.  Get ready.  You’re about to hear a story of homelessness, alcohol abuse, violence, panic attacks, and despair.  But ultimately this is a story of redemption and God’s unfailing love.

Eight people gather in a St. Louis home in 1989 to talk about doing church a little differently.  Decades later thousands call this church home, including thousands more who watch online around the world.  How does that even happen?  Dave introduces us to the man behind much of the church’s growth and its impact in underserved areas across the globe.  Just don’t credit him for the church’s impact.  He will point to the heavens and give credit where it’s due.
