“Frankly I Just Got Downright Depressed”
Scott Curtis’ radio career has drawn to a close at 89.3 Moody Radio Grand Rapids. It’s been 35 plus years of steady, “never-say-die” ministry for Scott. But there were really hard seasons. Like the 8 years he worked alone at 89.3.
There were moments in that span when yes, he “just got downright depressed.” But one thing always lifted him out of the dark: It’s a conversation about how small acts of kindness can make all the difference.
Scott’s career has been one marked by humility, by his stepping back from the spotlight to work more and more behind the scenes. He willingly stepped back when Perry joined the team and then when Shawna joined. Scott’s career path gives us a path to follow in a world where “It’s all about me.”
Scott had good reason to believe that WGNB might become a repeater station for Moody. At just the right time God provided above and beyond what was needed to keep us on the air. Scott reflects on God’s faithfulness and how just when you think it’s over, it’s just beginning.
In the nearly 8 years that Scott was the only person manning the station he experienced the power of community from a faraway friend who made some phone calls to get Scott the help he desperately needed.

Shawna Beyer
Shawna Beyer has a way of telling stories that create personal connection— to her, to one another, and to God. She has been a homeschool mom, church planter, project lead for a consulting company, and church staff member. Though she’s been involved in ministry with her husband (Dan) in Iowa, Arizona, and now Michigan, she was born and raised in Southern California and as they say, “You can take the girl out of California . . .” She is mom to four grown kids (Bryn, Drayson, Eden, and Haven) who no longer need her but humor her anyway. Shawna is passionate about the rhythms we weave into the fabric of our lives to fall more in love with God each day. Healthy foods are her go-to, but she will abandon that whole track in a heartbeat for a homemade cinnamon roll like Grandma used to make.
