Word from the President

It has been a very hard few months for our country and world.  The coronavirus pandemic has negatively impacted our financial present and future, and brought fear into the hearts of people everywhere.  Now our entire country is suffering from the aftermath of yet another horrendous act of social injustice – the murder of George Floyd. Every human life is …

The staff of the Christian Blue Network has had the privilege over the past 23 years to open our work week on Monday mornings with staff prayer.

As the summer of 2018 winds to a close, I am excited to share with you an update on our ministry here at the Christian Blue Network.

Growing up in the 70s, my siblings and I used to love watching the School House Rock educational songs on television.

In our newsletter this month, David Kithcart, Features Director for the Christian Broadcasting Network’s 700 Club, shares the real story of the man behind the upcoming Valentine’s Day holiday.  St. Valentine, a priest in Rome in the 3rd century, gave his life defending the right of men and women to marry, and be joined in the bond of monogamous Christian …

One of my favorite traditions at Christmas is to read or watch the Charles Dickens classic “A Christmas Carol” (the Playhouse in the Park here in Cincinnati, by the way, does an amazing rendition of this timeless tale). A Christmas Carol tells the story of Ebenezer Scrooge, an old miser who is visited by the ghost of his former business …

On October 31st, my family and I will once again host our Geis family “Hot Dog Harvest” on the driveway of our home in Cincinnati. This annual tradition serves as an outreach to our neighborhood on Halloween night, as we treat costumed children and their parents to free hot dogs, hot chocolate, chips, and candy. Christian music blares over our …

Most reading this article would probably agree that many recent events we’ve seen in the news are a confirmation of the fact that we live in a fallen world.
