WHRO I thank you for covering the story of the young men at NSU. As a very proud parent of one of the young men featured it gave my wife and I great joy to see our son's accomplishments and oppurtunity through 200+ Men brought to a public awareness. Its always good to see media portray our young men in a positive and encouraging way. Thank you.

I also greatly enjoyed the main topic segment with the local area pastors. This is a great show and I hope that will be able to continue, our community needs these types of programs!

Barbara,
Love the Show. Very strong message, I love how each Pastor humbly knew they had assignments from GOD and that it's not about competition. Coming from a small church in Pensacola in 1999, I was one of those people who didn't want to attend a big church because I didn't think I could get that family feeling. I was very wrong and almost missed my blessing because of it. No matter which church a person decides to worship at, they should get involved with one of the ministries that you are called to. Not getting involved could be the missing link to a person truly feeling like a family member of the church versus a pew member. The whole Grove Church family has been a blessing to me and my family and I thank GOD for them everyday. I hope you visit again for worship experience.

What a wonderful show. It is a blessing to see God exemplify how He is using those whom He has called to shepherd His people. What an awesome sight to see four African American men of God, who love people, display their love for Him and for the people in such a transparent way. This segment has blessed me so much. Grove Church doesn't feel like a mega church to me because there's so much love there. We love you Pastor Marriner and Grove Church.
