Transcript: 1 Day @ A Time Season 2 Episode 7: Radio Ministry Challenge

Mrs. Jones, I've got something I need to talk to you about. Now, you know I've been doing this radio show every morning for quite a while, the Morning Express, right on our local Christian radio station, right? Right. Okay. I've got a big opportunity here. Okay, the radio station is looking to do some major kind of weird promotion, right? They want to have one of their DJs break the record for most consecutive hours on the air at one time. Now, 48 hours is how long this DJ is going to go on the air. Guess who they asked to do this? I gather it's you. That's right. I'm the boy. I'm the dude. I'm going to be the one. I'm going to work. I'm going to be on the air 48 hours straight. Do you realize that's two days? Well, yeah. 48 hours, 24 hours, 48, two days, yeah. I know that. That's a long time without a break. Look, I can do this. I can do this. I know I can. Now, the only reason I'm really bringing this to you, though, is they want to do this on Friday. So I've got to start Friday morning and go until Sunday morning. And you think you can do that when you know that you've got to come right off the air and go right in and go right into preaching? You can do it. Look, I believe what the Bible says. I can do all things through Christ which strengthen me. So I believe I can do this. I really do. I believe I can do this. I think this is going to be really good. Anyway. Well, okay. But, I mean, you know, we have to use common sense. But, okay, you're going to need all the help God can give you. Believe who you are. Well, okay. But, anyway, I really wanted to ask you if you could do me a huge, humongous favor for these next couple days. Okay. What's the favor? I can't take care of Jasmine While I'm on the air So can you take care of Jasmine for me I have no problem I'll take care of Jasmine I'll get you the food I'll get you everything that she needs Just take care of her for me And I would appreciate it And then I'll see you guys back here Sunday Okay No, okay I'll bless you and take care of you I'll tell you It's going to be fine.

We all know that the bridge has finally been completed after many, many, many months of being in construction. And they finally cut the ribbon and everything was good. and the bridge is completed. And one of the workers was asked in this completion was, what are you going to do now after these long, long months of working? And he responded with sleep. Sleep. Yeah, sleep. In a bed, right? Yeah, in a bed. Nice warm bed. Nice soft bed. With a nice soft pillow. And a nice warm comforter. Curled up. Like a little baby in a crib snoring away I ain gonna make it I ain't got a whole 24 hours yet to go. More music. Get to the music. Go to the music. I can't handle it.

This is hour number 38 and just 10 hours to go. and this is Pastor Jay on the Morning Express and let's talk about what is going on with him. Don't worry about it, sir. I've been monitoring him for the last few hours and he does this on and off. It's like he freezes up like a computer and then he kind of reboots and then he's fine. Are you sure about this? Yes, I'm positive, sir. Wait, wait, here it comes. Three, two, one. Community events. And in the community, we have some bake sales going on at our local churches, raising money for good causes.
