"Has God called you to something but you keep avoiding Him? Today Pastor Teddy and the Very Reverend Joe Santucci from Hope Community Church in Manasquan, NJ discuss God’s call, faith, resilience, and music's power."

Today, Pastor Fred Kenney, Jr., also known as Pastor Teddy, and The Very Reverend Joe Santucci join us to discuss faith, resilience, and the power of music. Pastor Teddy goes back to the origins of Plays on Word Theater, where Pastor Joe's steadfast support was instrumental. Joe opens up about his battle with health challenges, showing us the strength of faith amidst adversity. From the lively 1970s New Jersey club scene to his spiritual transformation, Joe's journey as a musician and spiritual guide is nothing short of inspirational.

In this episode, we revisit the evolution of recording technology, as Pastor Joe reminisces about his professional recording studio, which marked a turning point for our own musical endeavors.

His story encompasses experiences with Columbia Records and NBC Radio, alongside the shifting landscape of Christian music. Joe's dedication to serving his community through unwavering faith and music remains a testament to his perseverance and belief in using his talents for a higher purpose.

We also celebrate personal stories of divine intervention, illustrating the profound impact of faith and community. As Pastor Joe marks his 43rd wedding anniversary, we honor the role of supportive partners in ministry. This episode encourages listeners to stay grounded in God's teachings and to remember the essence of love and unity within the Christian community.
