Welcome to Culture and Christianity.

They are guests today.

He's pretty exciting for me.

He has been a very influential figure in Nashville in the broadcast arena in Nashville for a long time.

Hope Hines was the sports director at our CBS affiliate Channel 5 for 35 years in Nashville,

really in the golden age of local television when we all went to our local stations to get

sports news and scores.

This predates ESPN and the internet and all of the media sources we have today.

He's with us today because he's engaged with a national initiative for prayer of the first

week of March, first four days of March, it's Gap 26. He's going to give you all the details.

Big picture, God's moving in the earth. He's using people who have won Emmys, who are in the Hall of Fame for sports in Tennessee,

have been a big impact in Middle Tennessee, and now they're making a bigger impact for the kingdom of God.

You can be one of those people.

Say yes to the Lord and do what he puts in front of you, and he will multiply the outcomes.

I think you'll enjoy Hope Hines. I have someone who was a big part of my life, although at a distance for a long time.

Hope Hines is with us today. Welcome, sir. Nice to be with you, Pastor. What a joy it is to be in the house that you lead.

Well, I hear your voice. I feel like there ought to be a volume knob here someplace.

Well, thank you. Thank you.

I got to know Hope on television. He is, I hate to say legend, because that makes you sound old.

I'll take it.

But you have had a profound impact upon Nashville and middle Tennessee,

but you were on our Channel 5, our CBS affiliate, the sports director for a long time.
