Manager’s Memo 11-16-20

David says in Psalm 100 know that the Lord is God. It is he who made us and we are his people, the sheep of his pasture. Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations. Thanksgiving will look different for many of us this year. Even in the mid ... Read More

“Hello, I’m Mike Agee, the general manager of the 88.3 The Journey, a new broadcast ministry serving the southwest corner of the Metroplex.  It’s been a long, hot, and busy summer, but I think we’re ready.  And as a result, 88.3 The Journey has taken its first few steps this week as a new broadcast ministry serving our corner of the Metroplex. While I can’t promise we’ll never make a mistake ... Read More

Manager’s Memo 10-21-20

I stepped on a landmine the other day on a friend’s Facebook page. He had a post about the upcoming election, and someone commented that if Christians did nothing, the enemy would win. My response set off a cascade of messages, accusing me of living under a rock, abandoning the poor, ignoring hungry children, not correcting social injustices, etc., etc., all in the name of Jesus. As we countdown t ... Read More

Manager’s Memo 10-9-20

This one is pretty simple. Let’s start with THANK YOU! What an amazing week! Thank you for your outpouring of support during Sharathon. More than 350 donors checking in and more than $130,000 at this point, well over our goal of $118,000.  Thank you to all who called in leadership gifts to keep us challenged and hopping. Thank you to everyone who gave sacrificially and to the young ones in the aud ... Read More

Manager’s Memo 9-17-20

The past few months have been interesting, to say the least. Nothing seems normal anymore. Essential workers and cancel culture have dominated news feeds and social media sites. Political debate rages everywhere as the election season nears its conclusion. Yet if you’ve listened to 88.3 The Journey for even a little while, I pray you have noticed how God uses the music and messages of hope on The ... Read More

Manager’s Memo 8-24-20

Today’s Troubles I have to confess that after days of listening to myself say not to grow weary; I haven’t been very successful. It’s the first week of school and back to teaching, putting out administrative and technology fires, and going to committee meetings. There are three weeks left in what I pray is my next to last quarter of doctoral work, which still means hundreds of pages of writi ... Read More

Manager’s Memo 8-10-20

Last week, I spent several days in faculty meetings getting ready for a new school year. We have six hundred plus students returning to campus, beginning next week with wide-eyed first-year students. Several of my colleagues asked how I was feeling. When I felt like it was an honest request for information, we talked about our concerns with bringing everyone back together, how we keep everyone saf ... Read More

Manager’s Memo 7-20-20

My baby sister came to visit recently. She was on Southwest, so in and out of Love Field. That meant I got to drive the lovely stretch of highway between Cleburne and Dallas, known as the Highway 67 / I-35E construction war zone. I’m glad I don’t drive through it every day. We left the house three hours early for her 2:40 departure. It was a good thing, but we made her flight on time. Going home w ... Read More

Manager’s Memo 6-27-20

Our lives are a result of the choices we make every day. Our culture, the society we live in, is the result of the choices we make together. Our government, from school boards to Washington, DC, is the result of those collective choices. There are many influences on the daily choices we make. As a follower of the Carpenter, I am influenced by commands like “Thou shalt have no other gods befo ... Read More
