There are events in history that we will never forget. They were gatherings that changed our nation, each generation, and in leaving a mark for many more generations to come. What was once thought to be a small idea, soon became this huge vision for me. And the impact an event like this could have on others, could even help change the world…
Back To The Garden
Jeff Raslow writes, “‘And we got to get ourselves back to the garden…’ Those are words from Woodstock, a popular 1970s song from Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, and while Jennifer Alden didn’t say that, it is her intention. She plans to get many to Bethel, NY, the home of that rock weekend in 1969 for JAMFEST: ROCK THE NATION. She’s promoting it on her radio show and is negotiating with the Bethel Woods Center for the Arts to hold a Christian Music Festival on the grounds of Woodstock.”
The vision for this event, and the driving passion behind it, have stayed with me, even through the challenges the last seven years have presented. God in all His glory has been very patient with me, as I continue to grow into position, for whatever He is calling me to do next.
Ephesians 2:20-22 says that God is building a home. He is using us all—irrespective of how we got here—in what He’s building. He used the apostles and prophets for the foundation. Now He’s using you, fitting you in brick by brick, stone by stone, with Christ Jesus as the cornerstone that holds all the parts together. We see it taking shape day after day—a holy temple built by God, all of us built into it, a temple in which God is quite at home.
A Call To Come Together
ONE JAM NATION Radio was birthed out of a personal desire to carry out the actions King David wrote of in Psalm 95:1, as the Scripture says, “O come, let us sing to the LORD, let us make a joyful noise to the ROCK of our salvation.”
It is a call to the body of Christ to come together as one and celebrate, sing and glorify the Lord with our worship. We are a union of several parts, coming together, and for the sum of this one effect.
We came together on the airwaves and at concert events. And whether it was through rock, hip-hop, classical, alternative, and with all the other musical genres included, we celebrated the Lord with this joy and music!
ONE JAM NATION
For a time, One Jam Nation existed as a weekly one-hour talk radio show on the local Tampa Bay station WTIS, to promote and support upcoming events. The show’s aim was to unite the family of God for this praise and worship, giving listeners an opportunity to become better acquainted with their favorite Christian artists. We were bringing the who’s who of the Christian music industry onto the airwaves, as well as all of us who want to celebrate Jesus with joy and music.
We’ve partnered with many artists and organizations through the years. Doing this show gave me the opportunity to truly get to know the hearts of the artists we were listening to. In many cases, I got to meet them personally, sharing their hearts with our listeners over the airwaves, as well as the rest of the world through live streaming.
One Jam Nation will be rejoining the airwaves, featuring inspiring artists, songwriters, and the Christian Music Industry, as a whole. We will introduce you to some of the best local, national, and international inspirational artists, who create the music that lifts you up. We’ll give you the 411 on upcoming events, and talk to the artists LIVE.
Be our guest and join us on One Jam Nation, where you too can deliver your message, showcase your music, all while interacting with passionate listeners and followers. Be sure to join the ONE JAM NATION community for upcoming concerts and connection, ON AIR and on-line.
