How Do You Know He's Real?
Monthly Column by Amy Hammond Hagberg

I am excited to announce my new GOD UNPLUGGED internet radio talk show. During each episode I’ll chat with famous authors, actors, athletes and recording artists about their faith. I’ll also present the stories of Christians from all walks of life…God is an equal opportunity transformer!

The 60-minute show airs every Thursday at 12 noon Central time (1 p.m. Eastern, 11 a.m. Mountain, 10 a.m. Pacific). Callers are welcome to join the conversation live and ask questions during the show by calling (347) 324-5425. If you have questions about Christianity or about the music business, we would love to hear them!
