This popular daily call-in talk show can be heard from 3:00-5:00 PM, Monday through Friday, on KJSL, 630 on the am dial. Billed as "St. Louis' Most Encouraging Talk Show" this inspirational and educational Christian program features interviews with authors, recording artists, political candidates, and Debra's favorite - "unsung heroes who have overcome great obstacles", much like Debra has done herself. KJSL is the most powerful daytime station in the St. Louis area and is owned by the nationally acclaimed Crawford Broadcasting Company. Debra has been a featured guest on over thirty radio and television stations worldwide.
