After re-sharing the highlights from our chat with Josh Baldwin yesterday, Carmen gave us some insight into her dreams involving Mahjong. Dave told her about a new set of tiles that you can play with at Perkins restaurants.  Bill was a bit concerned about the changing work schedules for many as they do work on Sundays for their full-time job. Dave needed to know more about knowledge workers.  Did you know that you can eat the peel of your orange and that it is good for you? That...

It truly was a special day on the show today as Josh Baldwin joined us to talk about his upcoming album, Worth Everything. Before he got here, we sorta celebrated a special occasion with the 20th anniversary of The Morning Cruise. Of course we weren't totally prepared for it and we'll do some special things in the near future.    00:32 Dunedin Memorial Bench in Bermuda.  03:48 Tolkein Memorial  07:50 Our 20th anniversary...

For those of you new to The Morning Cruise (we're talking to you, Huntsville!) you'll learn to expect the unexpected with Dave, Bill and Carmen.  One of the things you can expect is the Midweek Praise Break. 3 worship-filled songs played back-to-back. This week's songs included Rattle! by Elevation Worship, Come Jesus Come by CeCe Winans and He Lives by Chris McClarney  It's a little unexpected to be seeing holiday-related items this early into the fall.  Carmen is filled...

It's National Coffee Day and we are giving you the grounds for making a trip to Dutch Bros for a cup of joe on us (while supplies last!).  Haley went to Huntsville ahead of launching the signal there. And while she was there, she was on  the grounds of the U.S. Space and Rocket Center messaging 3 coworkers and asking all about the rockets she was seeing. But she did bring back some gifts for them.  You can go a lot of places from the comfort of your own home thanks to digital technology....

We're back after a very eventful Sharathon 2026 where with your help, we reached 101% of the goal. We had some memorable moments, especially bloopers, but the one that stood out the most was Carmen giving her pin number out over the airwaves.  Today is also a big day as we launch a new signal in Huntsville, Alabama! We spent some time sharing texts from the area as well as introducing Dave, Bill and Carmen to the new audience. Bill stopped us in our tracks momentarily to talk about...

We did something we've never done before and put up a challenge on the day before Sharathon to help with the running start. Carmen put out the challenge that if 100 people gave each hour of the show, she would give away a Mahjong set for every hour. AND she "convinced" Dave to play Tauren Wells version of "September" every hour as well! We also talked moldy cheeses, National Cheeseburger Day, school fundraisers, and "Bloomscrolling".  00:32 Online Challenge Day  03:53...

Next week, it'll sound a little different as we ask for your support financially to help us pay the bills around here.  Dave's son went to his son's class to support their reading efforts.  Carmen gave us a helpful hack that she recently used to purchase some hoop earrings.  97.9 FM in Atlanta is our newest signal supporting your efforts to hear us across the Peach State.  There's a lot of people in support of AI. But there's also a lot of people in support of curtailing...

We talked basic life skills that kids need, were thankful that Candice's skills were not impaired for long after her accident, shared the skills of some artists for our Midweek Praise Break, talked about the lack of communication skills contributing to the loneliness epidemic, tested the skills of technical know how with an online giving issue, and asked for help for those skilled in the pharmaceutical world.  00:32 Life Skills  03:49 More on Life...

Carmen got a call from an old friend over the weekend. Ron Hall, co-author of Same Kind of Different As Me, reached out to tell her that he has written a new book. It got us thinking about the favorite books we have held on to.  Mohair held on to her phone long enough! She had an iPhone 7 and upgraded to an iPhone 17. She's also excited for Jury Duty and can't hold on much longer to see if the same bailiff will be working.  We're holding our breath, gearing up for Sharathon and...

There was a lot of football to catch over the weekend with Week 2 of college football and Week 1 of the NFL. But we needed to catch up on rest over the weekend first after hosting so many wonderful listeners at our Open House and to be ready for Sharathon which starts 1 week from today.  Did you catch Natalie Grant singing the national anthem at the Titans game?  Bill caught us all up on the story of Bravo who was recently rescued from the mountains of Iran by his fellow military...

On the 25th anniversary of the September 11th attacks, we devoted today's show to reflect on the events of that fateful day and share the different ways we remember those who lost their lives.    00:32 9/11 Memories  03:58 Rooted Memorials  07:08 9/11 Timeline  18:45 Events and Lessons from 9/11 22:30 Paulie's Push  25:07 Lisa Beamer Testimony 35:55...

There was a lot of speculation ahead of yesterday's press conference for Apple to unveil their new product lineup. Here with the update on those new options is Carmen! And she's excited that its not just a foldable phone!  We're inching closer to Sharathon 2026 and we wanted to share the reasons for it and a story to keep those new listeners up to date on the why!  Even though we're excited for our new studios, we're a bit concerned as we had a lizard take up residence and Carmen...

We appreciate and value your support so much that Carmen put a challenge out yesterday and just before the end of the show that challenge was met. So she asked for you to send in pictures of your friends that you might play Mahjongg with and she would give one lucky winner a new Mahjongg set.  Dave's recent visit to the LSU campus had him appreciating the opportunity for the sake of nostalgia.  With all the speculation ahead of Apple's press conference today, we're not sure if...

Despite the downpour that delayed the start of the game, Dave had a great time with his son at the LSU game in Baton Rouge.  It was a great Week 1 of College Football but there were a few notable mistakes.  Carmen felt defeated when she got her daily yogurt and found that the recipe had changed.  Bill told a story to help us understand how we, as Christians can beat evil with good.  With Sharathon now less than 2 weeks away, Carmen wanted to giveaway a Mahjong set...

What a Friday it was on The Morning Cruise!  Carmen is excited as it is week 1 of College Football. Dave's going to Louisiana to see his LSU Tigers in action. Bill, who isn't into sports, is thinking about movies, which did not interest Carmen.  Dave hasn't even left for Louisiana for the long weekend and he's already got another trip booked.  Since Sharathon starts on the 21st of September, Carmen couldn't stop thinking about Tauren Wells version of the Earth, Wind, &...
