Staff Profiles--Meet Jenna

 

She first visited in grade school and now is a student worker at Shine.FM and enrolled at Olivet Nazarene University. I just want you to know that when you give to God through giving to Shine.FM, you are giving to much more than just a radio station.

You are helping prepare broadcast leaders that are impacting our world. Click the video to hear Jenna’s story.

Then pray about what you can give in the next six weeks that will help close the projected shortfall of $20,000 as we end our fiscal year on June 30th.

See Downhere's Marc Martel on American Idol?

Marc Martel of the Shine.FM band Downhere performed on American Idol with Queen Extravaganza, a cover band sanctioned by the surviving original members. Although we can't find a video from last night's Idol performance (if you do, put a link in the comments below), here is Marc rehersing for the upcoming Queen Extraganza tour. 

And, here's an interview from last year right after Marc was selected. 

First Listen...New Mercyme

MercyMe brings us two quick behind the scenes glimpses of their upcoming album "The Hurt & The Healer." Check out these video teasers to get a preview of what's to come when the album releases May 22!
>Oh, and we've heard through the grapevine that there is a special appearance on the album from NEEDTOBREATHE's Bear Rinehart. Here's what MercyMe frontman, Bart Millard, had to say about it:

"Good News: Bear Rinehart sang on our new album - Bad News: He's so good it makes me sound like an 11 yr old girl." -Bart Millard 

Dr. Bill Maeir on the documentary "Bully"

Indianapolis theaters and screen times are available here.

From Dr. Bill: 

 

This is the Department of Health and Human Services official website dedicated to bullying.  The info is good (but fairly general). I do have a few concerns about the statements about gay and lesbian kids (some of which has been challenged by other researchers).  If you haven't heard, President Obama appointed one of the nation's leading gay activists (Kevin Jennings, the former director of "GLSEN") to a key role in the department.

This website was produced by an anti-bullying organization in Colorado, but can be used anywhere.  It includes some excellent, easy to digest information for parents, teachers and kids:
