In a culture that desperately needs godly light and truth shed on the country’s many pressing issues, the American Pastors Network’s radio programming, “Stand in the Gap,” is expanding, with the addition of several new stations and a new web site being unveiled today.

Currently, several stations throughout Pennsylvania air “Stand in the Gap Today,” including WFYL-AM Philadelphia, and several more are adding the program today: WFBM 90.5 FM in the Beaver Springs and Richfield areas, WFBM 90.1 FM in Selinsgrove and Sunbury, and WFBA 90.5 FM in Mt. Carmel and Frackville. All three stations will air the program live daily beginning 12:05 p.m. and cover about 12 counties in central Pennsylvania.

“Over the past three months since ‘Stand in the Gap Today’ debuted, we’ve covered a multitude of crucial topics on the air,” said APN President Sam Rohrer. “As our culture moves further and further from the truth, Christians desperately need to apply a biblical and constitutional view to the matters that affect all of us every day. That’s why it’s so important that quality programming like ‘Stand in the Gap Today’ grows and reaches even more Americans throughout the country.”

Beginning today, seven radio stations in Texas will also air “Stand in the Gap Today.” The stations in the Kingdom Keys Network of Christian Radio cover a large portion of northern Texas. Also airing the program are WJSM-FM 92.7 in Altoona, Pa., and WJSM-AM 1110 in Martinsburg, Pa.

“Stand in the Gap Today” is a one-hour live daily radio program that addresses the cultural and moral issues of our time from a constitutional and biblical perspective. With issues like same-sex marriage, the possibility of a nuclear Iran, and Islamic radicalism daily in the news, how should Christian Americans think?

The program communicates to listeners the importance of applying a biblical and constitutional worldview to every aspect of their lives, provides tools to respond to attacks against biblical truth in the culture, and encourages them in their critical responsibility, as ambassadors of Christ, to speak truth in the culture.

The program is hosted by Rohrer, along with Gary Dull, APN board member and executive director and vice president of the Pennsylvania Pastors Network, (PPN, www.papastors.net), and Dave Kistler, president of the North Carolina Pastors Network (NCPN, www.ncpastors.net). Daily, “Stand in the Gap Today” considers current hard news topics from a biblical, pastoral point of view making it unique amongst other radio programs in the U.S., and welcomes guests, including caller comments during “Phone-In Friday.”

Today, “Stand in the Gap” is also unveiling its new web site, found at www.StandintheGapRadio.com, where visitors to the site can listen live to “Stand in the Gap Today” each day at noon through WFYL 1180-AM. The new site also details all three APN radio programs, which include “Stand in the Gap Minute,” a daily one-minute radio feature that airs daily on more than 40 stations, and “Stand in the Gap Weekend,” a one-hour program on Sundays that features a sermon from an APN pastor, followed by a short commentary with Rohrer and others. The weekend program airs on more than 150 stations, including the American Family Radio Network.

 In the wake of the public release of three disturbing undercover videos that exposed Planned Parenthood’s possible sale of the body parts of aborted babies—including the latest released just yesterday—the American Pastors Network  is urging all churches and morally responsible organizations to become educated about where the funds in their pension plans and investments actually go.

“Unfortunately, abortion in America is a big and deadly business, and many U.S. companies are directly or indirectly funding the abortion giant Planned Parenthood,” said APN President Sam Rohrer, who is also president of the Pennsylvania Pastors Network (PPN, www.papastors.net). “While efforts are under way to defund Planned Parenthood, which we strongly support, government money is not the only way the agency pays for abortion services. Many private companies and organizations also give directly to Planned Parenthood, and churches and their congregants must make sure that none of their investments are tied to these firms that are funding the gruesome business of abortion. 

“Our mission at the American Pastors Network is to help churches, oftentimes through our state chapters, fall in line with biblical obedience and offer a solution and a challenge in every situation.  Even the most disturbing headlines may in some way affect our churches,” he continued. 

Rohrer added that the importance of biblical investing takes on a sense of urgency when organizations and corporations support activity that goes against God’s Word—either directly or indirectly—such as the atrocities that recently surfaced at Planned Parenthood.

“Churches, Christian companies and all morally responsible organizations are duty-bound to clean up their own house, and that certainly includes where and how we invest our money,” Rohrer said. “Not only is this our responsibility, but the entire premise of 2 Chronicles 7:14 is that God’s people must turn from our wicked ways. Knowingly investing and seeking a profit in companies that advance evil is itself evil. The hammer of God’s judgment will continue to fall on America until we take a hard look in the mirror and ask ourselves, ‘Where are we sinning against God and take corrective action?’ “ 

APN encourages churches to conduct research about their investments, through qualified financial professionals or online research, such as two resources that recently came to light since the Planned Parenthood videos were released: the Daily Signal and 2ndVote.com.

“In an age when technology allows all of us—including churches—to be educated about companies that directly or indirectly fund the abortion or related industries, we must act,” Rohrer added. “The American Pastors Network is calling on all churches and morally responsible organizations to promptly and carefully review their investments and pension plans to ensure that they are in no way contributing to the killing of nearly 60 million babies since 1973.” 

In the first video that stirred the national controversy, which was released by the Center for Medical Progress on July 14, Planned Parenthood senior executive Dr. Deborah Nucatola discussed the sale of fetal body parts with actors portraying buyers from a “human biologics company” over lunch. In a second video, released July 21, Dr. Mary Gatter, president of Planned Parenthood’s medical directors council, is seen negotiating the price of aborted fetal body parts, stating that she wanted “a Lamborghini.” A third video released July 28 highlighted a technician who said she worked for a company that partnered with Planned Parenthood to harvest fetal tissue, Fox News reported.

APN focuses on pressing cultural and societal issues like these during its daily one-hour radio program, “Stand in the Gap Today,” hosted by Rohrer, along with Gary Dull, APN board member and executive director and vice president of PPN, and Dave Kistler, president of the North Carolina Pastors Network (NCPN, www.ncpastors.net). 

Daily, “Stand in the Gap Today” considers current news topics and welcomes guests, including caller comments during “Phone-In Friday.” “Stand in the Gap Today” can be heard on several stations throughout Pennsylvania, via satellite and streamed lived online at www.standinthegapradio.com. To hear a recent program on this issue, with Guest Dan Celia, Host of Financial Issues Live, please click HERE.
