Coffee with Kurt and Kate

On March 22nd we welcomed our regular Friday morning guest, Pastor Jay Dennis, who answers your Christian Living questions on Fridays with Jay, to Coffee with Kurt and Kate. Earlier this year, we decided to extend an invitation for Jay to appear with us live in studio. Little did any of us know, several serious health issues would land Pastor Jay in the hospital, just weeks before his scheduled in studio appearance. Even in our worst moments, God is still sovereign, and truly works all things together for good to those who love God and are called according to His purpose. By God's amazing grace and power, Jay made it to the studio and his story is one you don't want to miss!
