When Darren Mulligan of We Are Messengers stops by we know that it won't take long to get into a deep spiritual conversation. He stopped by this morning to share new songs from his album, Halfway Home. Before he got here though, Bill told us about a wave of spiritual questions being asked lately. And Dave told us about a man who just recently came to the end of a 28-year journey.  00:32 Wave of Spiritual Questions (Part 1)  03:27 Wave of Spiritual...

We enjoyed our company yesterday visiting with Joel and Luke Smallbone while they were here sharing about their new movie, Drummer Boy. After we re-shared portions of that conversation, Carmen had a couple of deals for you to select when getting tickets to their movie and/or their Little Drummer Boy concert when it comes to town later this month.  Today is  midterms election day. While Carmen and Bill selected to vote early, Dave will be heading to the polls today. And if you are in need...

If you've been to a for King & Country concert, you know that they have a flair for the dramatic. And now they've turned their dramatic efforts into a movie, Drummer Boy, opening in theatres this weekend!  The time change can feel like a dramatic shift.  Next week will feel like a movie with T-Shirts for Turkeys  Carmen's Sunday was spent inside thanks to the rainy weather. But that gave her a chance to not only watch football but screen Drummer Boy as well.  Bill...

Carmen saw the opportunity to get in her vote during the early voting timeframe.  You've seen Patrick Stewart in a lot of roles over the years and now we're seeing the news of his passing and tributes from his fellow actors.  Carmen's daughter, Haley is back after a sightseeing vacation in Scotland and England. She shared some of the highlights as well as some travel hacks she used.  Bill saw a video on YouTube and wanted to share it as the woman in it wrote a book about...

Politicians are doing the best they can to drum up support and Bill is ready to go vote now that he got some help yesterday from The Pour Over News Midterms Guide.  Dave is in support of a new feature in General Mills cereal boxes.  Carmen wanted to know how many Christmas trees one can have. And it didn't take much for listeners to chime in in support of more than 1. And speaking of Christmas trees, Bill has the latest tree decorating trends for you to consider.  GM is...

We're celebrating a Game 4 win for the Tampa Bay Rays last night. But Carmen was a little confused about what a walk-off was.  Dave's son was a little confused by a text about a job but soon realized it was for a different job than the one he just interviewed for.  Politics can be confusing. The Pour Over News is here to help with their 2026 Midterms Guide.  Feelings can cause confusion. Ryan Stevenson had some thoughts on that.  Carmen's husband, Pete, made a 7-minute...

Remember back in the day when you could listen to the hits on your Walkman? It's been 16 years since that technology went by the wayside. Do you miss it?  Someone is missing a cow!  Danny Gokey hit on a topic that surprised many when he shared about his OCD tendencies.  Dave's grandson is missing a tooth. He FaceTimed with him last night to see the new smile! But that got us wondering what the going rate is for the tooth fairy.  Carmen wasn't so thrilled with her...

It was a weekend of travel and sports for Dave, Bill and Carmen. Dave and Carmen found themselves in North Augusta for the Jack-O-Lantern Jubilee and Bill just returned from his son's wedding in Nevada and a quick side trip to San Diego. They all shared what they found while on their trips. Dave and Carmen found themselves on an early flight back to Florida so they could watch their respective college football games. Bill found San Diego great but the traffic layout to be confusing.  While...

For 20 years, you've laughed and cried along with Dave, Bill and Carmen as the hosts of The Morning Cruise on The JOY FM.

All week long we've been sharing some of our favorite highlights over the last 20 years of The Morning Cruise with Dave, Bill and Carmen.

We had loads of laughter and tears on today's show as we shared more highlights of The Morning Cruise over the last 20 years.

We're celebrating 20 years of The Morning Cruise with Dave, Bill and Carmen this week by sharing some of the highlights over the last 2 decades. On today's show, we had quite a few surprises.

With Bill out this week for his son's wedding, Carmen and Dave decided that since we didn't really celebrate the show's 20th anniversary on the official day (10/1) that we would spend this week looking back at some of the show's best moments. We had so much from Chris Tomlin that we decided to make it all his stories today.  And we heard you over the weekend so we re-opened The JOY Drop Shop until NOON TODAY!  00:32 Bill Out - JOY Drop Shop to Open  02:27...

We had a lot to do on The Morning Cruise today. Dave got a picture from his grandkids and is planning to do Thanksgiving with them.  It's Day 2 of the JOY Drop Shop so if you haven't already done your shopping, go do it!  A 61-year-old woman can do a lot while also setting a world record for planking!  As you age, you've got to do a lot to monitor your health. We learned recently it can monitor your blood pressure as well!  After seeing pics of fall foliage, we...
