06-30-2025 part 1: Start Button Grace: How God Uses Even Our Mistakes
Section 1
Sometimes, even with the best of intentions and meticulous planning, things go hilariously wrong. That’s exactly what happened when I forgot to hit the “start” button for the broadcast. I had just completed what might have been the most flawless show intro of my life—every sound hit perfectly, every word timed right, and the flow completely natural—only to discover I wasn’t even broadcasting. As humbling as that was, it became a divine reminder that God has a sense of humor and a way of reminding us to stay in our lane. Mondays are when we start the week with prayer, and it just so happened that today, new listeners might have tuned in only to find… nothing. That little mishap became a great metaphor: even when we forget to push the button, God doesn’t forget to push ours. He’s still in control. If you’re in need of prayer, we are here for you—real people from real backgrounds who believe in a real God who really answers prayer.
Section 2
That theme of humility continued throughout the first part of the broadcast. We were reminded that the kingdom of God isn’t about perfect production, but about participation—joining one another in prayer, encouragement, and testimony. Scripture calls us to bear one another’s burdens and love each other as Jesus has loved us. And while I may have forgotten to hit the start button, the Lord didn’t forget to remind me of the greater mission. Whether it's a praise report, a request, or just needing a moment to share your heart, we’re here. This show—and now, the station—is about something much deeper than content. It’s about community. If you're part of the group who listens to ministries on KAAM 770, we want to partner with you. We're launching a new station online, HMIM Radio, where we’re opening the door wide for legitimate ministries to broadcast freely, without cost, only asking them to share about us in return. The goal is not perfection—it’s participation in God’s plan.
Section 3
Don Crawford Jr., a dear friend in the Lord, sent out a letter inviting ministries to join this journey with us. We don’t know exactly how it will unfold—but we’re trusting God to bring the right people and the right shows at the right time. If you’re someone who has been blessed by ministries currently on KAAM, reach out to them and invite them to connect with HMIM Radio. It’s all about extending the family, sharing the kingdom, and keeping the message of Jesus flowing freely. Will it be perfect? No. Will buttons sometimes get left unpushed? Probably. But we will do our best, pray it’s blessed, and let the Lord take care of the rest. That’s our motto now and forever. And when we do it together—supporting, encouraging, laughing, and praying—we get a little taste of Heaven on earth. Amen and amen.
