Rachel Mains talks with billboard charting artist and producer Darren Rahn. They discuss what rest has looked like in Darren's career and in his life. Darren shares what he has learned from learning to let go of striving, and trying and make things happen, versus just simply resting and trusting God. "The heart of man plans his way, but the LORD establishes his steps." ~Proverbs 16:9 DARREN RAHN Back in 2004…when Darren Rahn was working with Wayman Tisdale on the late great bassist’s chart-topping twist on “Ain’t No Stoppin’ Us Now,” the big guy gave the up and coming saxophonist, producer and emerging recording artist a sound bit of advice Rahn has taken to heart on every subsequent recording endeavor: “Stay in your lane.” Rahn’s tireless commitment to musical authenticity over the past 18 years has resulted in multiple Grammy nominations and 26 #1 Billboard singles as a solo artist/saxophonist, producer and mix engineer. The multi-talented, Canadian born, Denver based artist’s multi-faceted journey reaches yet another key milestone with the release of Rock The World, a hallmark album that taps perfectly into the Zeitgeist of these anxious times while revealing an ever-evolving artist at the pinnacle of his creative, melodic, spiritual and sonic expressions.

Andy Peth (personality of the Rush to Reason show) joins Rachel Mains in the KLTT studio to talk about the theory of evolution. Andy discusses some of the dilemmas in the theory of evolution, such as the complexity of an eye and a feather. His hope is that believers will be empowered to talk with their loved ones, who hold to the evolution theory. Open discussions will help to impact friends and family to see the the validity of God's word and begin to see the Biblical worldview. "For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse." ~Romans 1:20 Andy is a radio personality for KLZ 560 in Denver, Colorado. Raised in liberal, atheist surroundings, Andy “lost the debate with himself” and accepted Christ, later receiving a Pastoral Ministry degree from Colorado Christian University.

THIS WEEK'S EPISODE: "Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin. Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need." ~Hebrews 4:14-16 SATURDAY, January 13 @ 5p.m. on @670kltt7 @ 12 p.m. and 8 p.m. on AM 1220 KLDC Re-airs on KLDC AM 1220 @ 6 p.m. on Tuesdays On this episode of Corner Cafe, Rachel Mains talks with Rachel Amidei about how to be faithful to Christ and be a witness for Him in this culture.

"Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven." ~Matthew 5:16 Chaplain Leanor Ortega Till - Radically Leading and Loving Through Acts of Compassionate Service "So many people don’t fit into the church stereotype. The core of my ministry is to cultivate loving and encouraging communities that honor the dignity of the human spirit in sometimes difficult situations. Scum of the Earth Church was the incubator for my early ministry; I curated an art gallery, honed my preaching skills, and served as Director of Women’s Ministry. The richness of the relationships that I’ve made in my community of faith, spanning time and place, is awe-inspiring. At age 40 I felt it was time for me to go beyond the church’s walls and reach those who might never step foot inside its doors. Now I have taken the leap to serve where I feel called: Denver Women's Correctional Facility (prison) as a Chaplain." SUPPORT LEANOR: https://urbanskye.givingfuel.com/leanor-ortega-till KLTT Feature - KLDC's Sister Station Marliyn Gore is partnering with Lifewise Academy to bring the Bible into Colorado schools. Representative Brandon Exford shares how Lifewise Academy partners with local volunteers nationwide to bring Bible studies into local schools. Education plays a huge role in the direction of a nation. We saw a huge shift in worldview around the United States once Bibles were taken out of schools. Lifewsie leverages a Supreme Court ruling, enabling them to plan Bible studies during school hours, off-property. Lifewise is asking for volunteers nationwide to partner with them and bring God back into the school system. All it takes is changing one kid at a time and the entire nation will follow.

"For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, abounding in riches for all who call on Him; for “Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.” How then will they call on Him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in Him whom they have not heard? And how will they hear without a preacher?" ~Romans 10:12-15 Corner Cafe: Sharing the Story and Heart of an Artist - Julie Elies “The Dreamer” is independent singer/songwriter Julie Elias’s newest album and was birthed in this time of uncertainty. As an optimistic adventurer, the idea of being confined and stuck was something Julie had never experienced. “I had the range of COVID emotions,” says Julie. “On one hand, I was so blessed to have another job that was considered ‘essential’ to pay my bills. Without traveling, I got to spend a lot of time with my dogs and horses that brought me a lot of inner peace. But I hated not getting to see family and out-of-state friends whenever I wanted. Without traveling to sing and lead worship, I was so worried about being forgotten as an artist who didn’t have label support or a huge fanbase. My loneliness was exacerbated like never before…the insecurities that I had somewhat worried about previously became overwhelming; I had anxiety like I never had experienced. I forgot what it felt like to get excited for anything…and frankly, I was afraid to since everything seemed to end in disappointment.” Learn more: https://julieeliasmusic.com President of Front Range Christian School David Cooper & John DeYoung - Front Range Christian School: Safety in School We continue our conversation with David Cooper and John DeYoung with Front Range Christian School.

"But he said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.'
