Connections with Rich and Bobbi

As we enter a new year, we’re continuing our visit with Miss Lillie Knauls, who’s known for her performances as a member of the Gaither Homecoming friends & as a singer on the #1 hit song, “Oh Happy Day.” She explains how she came to sing in many of the most prestigious venues throughout the world!   

This is Christmas week, and to help us celebrate, giving thanks and praise to God, is Dove Award recipient Lillie Knauls! The effervescent Miss Lillie – smile, hat, & all – shares about what’s truly important at Christmas, in word, song, & action! And what a treat – she was a regular singer featured on the Bill & Gloria Gaither Homecoming TV series!  

“O Happy Day!” is a gospel song by the Edwin Hawkins Singers that made it to the top of the charts during the late 60's and early 70's worldwide! Our current guest, Miss Lillie Knauls, with her radiant smile and festive hats, who herself has been used mightily by the Lord, was a singer in that choir, and explains the mysterious way that happened! She also became one of the singers featured on the Bill & Gloria Gaither Homecoming television program, videos, and tours!

To help us to reflect on Thanksgiving, particularly as children of God, we've called upon a dynamic communicator and Bible teacher, Pastor Joe Jacowitz of Christ Bible Church in Pleasanton, CA, to share his thoughts with us. We sat down with him at a local café…

Our guest on our podcast is Leigh Prater. He’s an Associate Pastor at Beth-El Baptist Church in Morgan Hill, CA, and shares of his service to the Lord as a Dad with a houseful of kids, a pastor ministering to a congregation, and as a missionary visiting various countries throughout the world! 

We’re continuing our visit with Aubri Thompson, a Christian business owner whose company is on a mission -- to inspire and enable sustainable living, and to change the beauty industry! Now, that might sound bold, and the industry might even seem contradictory to her walk with God. But, listen to how Aubri explains her faith, as well as her business practices…

We’d like to introduce you to a young entrepreneur whose business as a chemistry major in college took her into an interesting line of work-especially for a Christian! She’s Aubri Thompson. We visited her at her office… 

In our concluding podcast with Roy Goble, author of the book, “Salvaged: Leadership Lessons Pulled from the Junkyard,” he talks about avoiding pitfalls! Plus, he shares about a ministry that he and his wife D’Aun are involved with called PathLight International.
