Manager’s Memo 2-16-21

Anniversaries are markers in a person’s life, mileposts for followers of the Carpenter, that highlight His hand on a life. I’ve celebrated a couple of milepost anniversaries in the past few days. Forty-three years ago, just short of my nineteenth birthday, I climbed into a friend’s borrowed car and drove home from Dallas after taking a test to receive my third-class radio telephone operator’s perm ...

Manager’s Memo 1-21-21

At least 25 times a year for more than thirty years now, I sit down in front of my computer and write what I call a Manager’s Memo. More than 750 times, I’ve had the opportunity to talk about what is happening in the radio ministries I have had the pleasure of serving as head janitor, talk about what is happening in my life, and most importantly, what I am learning in my walk with the Carpenter. T ... Read More

Manager’s Memo 12-21-20

Facebook has been taunting me with pictures of Christmas gatherings with family and friends from the past few years. “We thought you might like this. No, not really, but thanks.” As the holidays do for many of us, especially this year, I’m feeling a bit nostalgic. I’m thinking about loved ones and longing for a time when we will all be together again. I’m reminded God feels the same way about us. ... Read More

Manager’s Memo 12-4-20

2020 continues to be a year of change in the way every one does every thing. With surging infections, hospitalizations, and restrictions, I couldn’t, in good conscience, see a way to do our annual sock drive this fall. Though, when I look around, the need is even greater than years past. So what do we do? We’ll do what a recent Word for our Walk encouraged us to do. Always try to do good to each o ... Read More

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

Manager’s Memo 11-3-20 Tenth Anniversary

“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
