Summary
On this episode, Lizette and Scott talk with Jennifer Epperson of Moody Radio. Jennifer discusses how Moody Radio uses research to help in their mission of helping people take the next step in their relationship with Jesus Christ.
“People were giving us their trust, and in return, we needed to be giving them what they said that they needed and wanted. In our case, it was a Biblical world view and spiritual inspiration. We have a sacred trust with our listeners and that’s what we take away from the study.”
“You bring the information of research into the plumb line of your mission, and you make the necessary adjustments to ensure that your mission, and the way you’re doing things, and the expectations of the listeners come into line.”
