## Resource

In this special milestone episode, Mike Sharman, general counsel of Share HealthCare, turns the tables to interview veteran broadcaster Doug Apple. Reflecting on four decades of full-time work in Christian radio, Doug pulls back the curtain on the industry's evolution and the personal sacrifices required to stay faithful to his calling. -- Doug reveals the "crazy" leap of faith he took early in his career, quitting a job without a backup plan just weeks before his wedding because he felt led by God. -- He recounts the challenges of maintaining his Christian values in a secular radio environment, including his refusal to voice advertisements for alcohol. -- Doug discusses the shift in the Christian radio industry, from the "mom and pop" local stations of the 80s to the massive national networks we see today, and why he believes the local touch still matters. -- He shares the profound, often difficult experience of moving his family across the country in mid-life, trusting that God’s direction was worth the risk. +++++++ You can find out more information about Share HealthCare by calling 1-844-Share HC, or by visiting their website: https://sharehealthcare.com/
