So without giving the specific day away, let’s just say my birthday is coming up very very soon. So I was thinking about putting together a blog on what I feel are the biggest lessons I have learned this year as well as some highlights.
This year was a really busy one, as you probably know I started with absolutely no radio experience and now host a four hour show every single night on life 100.3. I also started this year with no radio production experience and have been producing an internationally syndicated radio show for almost a year now! Around May of last year I also remember driving to Gravenhurst Ontario for an event with another announcer from Life, Tim from the all new breakfast club. As we were driving, he looked over at me and asked “How do you feel about speaking at youth groups”? I remember thinking to my self “oh boy here we go”, I remember being nervous only to agree to start speaking right away. Within a very short time of about 2 months I went from setting up tents to hosting a radio show, producing another one and speaking to youth groups.
If I had to be honest, there were times where it was extremely overwhelming. I remember transitioning from a program that I used to produce with to a new one and literally spending hours one day over the phone with Evan Duran trying to troubleshoot something, only then to find out someone was sick and I had to fill in for them doing something on air that I had never done before in a few hours. It was probably one of two awful days of this past year for me. I also remember the first time I had to speak to a youth group. I went and spoke to the different groups at Willow Creek Baptist Church in Midhurst. I remember opening the door to the portable where everyone was gathered, it was packed and to make matters even more fun my boss was standing at the back taking notes the whole time I was speaking for about 45 minutes. Another time I spoke at a church on halloween, so people had all of there unsaved friends come out to the event, the plan was for everyone to play some games then there was going to be an opening band then I would speak before the headliners. Well the opening band cancelled so we went right from a dance off to me trying to get everyone to settle down so I could speak. It was pretty awkward, but here’s the thing I got through it.
Honestly now that I am looking back it’s pretty surreal, it’s funny how you think your life is going to go one way and then you have these little moments that change the corse completely. If you would have asked me a year ago what I thought this past year would look like, I never EVER would have guessed it would look like this. This leads me to probably the biggest piece of advice I can offer from my last year of experiences:
I remember when Life 100.3 was trying to acquire another station down in Toronto a few years back and when we didn’t get it people where discouraged. I wasn’t, I know that God is God, He sees all the angles when we can only see a few. That has definitely been a great reminder for me going through this. I can’t even tell you how many times there where things that I didn’t want to do, I would go to God and be like “Come on are you serious” but time after time I would choose to put my trust not in what I saw but in who God is and who He has been to me throughout my entire life. Just this last year I have interviewed Andy Mineo, Manafest twice another time live in the studio, Silverline, Lecrae, We Are Leo, Manic Drive, Loftland twice, Anthem For Today In Studio, Sky Terminal, multiple pastors and people, I also received a position as a full time radio host, started radio production, started speaking… all in one years time. In closing let me encourage you, God has a plan for you, there is no such thing as a time limit when it comes to God, so relax trust in Him and when the time is right he will excel and exult you all you have to do is trust. 🙂

He is a go getter. I don’t know if you have had a chance to check out his latest album #tomorrowwelive. But it is full of pump me up real music. I think the time of songs just focused around money, girls, cars so on so forth are coming to an end. Even amongst my non-christian friends, I have noticed them getting really tired of all the garbage songs that mean nothing.
If you haven’t already check out the song “I believe” or “Ima Just Do It”
