Yesterday, we woke to some pretty heart-wrenching news - our friend and colleague in Christian radio, Rob Dempsey, had passed away suddenly from cancer. Rob's journey profoundly impacted many, including Jeremy and me, and I just wanted to share it with you today, in case you need to hear the same thing he did.
As a teenager, kicked out and homeless, Rob found a Walkman by a dumpster, tuned to a Christian station. The message he heard was simple yet life-changing: "God loves you and has a purpose for your life. You are not a mistake." That night, nothing about his situation had changed, yet everything transformed within him. He found hope under a bridge, which led him not only to faith but also to a lifelong mission to share that same hope with others through radio.
Rob's life reminds us that no matter where we are or what we're going through, change can come, and it can be profound. God's love reaches us anywhere, even under a bridge. If Rob's story resonates with you, remember: you are loved immensely, you have a profound purpose, and you are no mistake.
