Hannah Campbell Interview
What a fun time in the studio today! This program features the music of Jonathan Settel, Barry & Batya Segal, Avner & Rachel Boskey, Zemer Levav, Ted Pearce and The Schleps! And it was a delight to have Hannah Grace Campbell in the studio. Hannah grew up in Rochester, NY in a fun and loving
Messianic Jewish home. From in early age, she was taught about the God
of Israel, and came to accept the Messiah as her Savior at the ripe old
age of four. After realizing at the age of nine that she could not grow
up to become Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman, (as blood is WAY too
disgusting), she dreamed of a number of different careers (everything
from a ballet dancer to a tornado chasing meteorologist), before she
finally settled on becoming a composer of music. Hannah greatly enjoyed
earning her Bachelors in Music Composition at Baldwin-Wallace College
(now Baldwin Wallace University), studying Music, growing closer to God,
and learning how to save money by getting half-priced appetizers at
local restaurants after College Campus Ministry meetings. Hannah went
on pursue her Masters in Music Composition for the Screen (try saying
that ten times fast) at Columbia College Chicago. After receiving her
degree, Hannah, like many other former college students, was very burnt
out and decided that she couldn't stand music or anything for creative
for that matter and that she would pursue... something else. And
everyone who knew her said, ha, yeah right. Naturally, of course, that
didn't work. Hannah now leads worship and cantors at Congregation Shema
Yisrael, works at an agency for individuals with developmental
disabilities, is working on a novel (she vows that it will one day be
finished), and writes music with a fiery, burning passion, in hopes of
being able to soon record her first album.

Ray Bentley Interview
Wow! What an exciting interview with Pastor/Author Ray Bentley! He discusses his new book, "The Holy Land Key," and I play fabulous music by Corry Bell & Lev Shelo, Paul Wilbur, Rachel & Avner Boskey, Barry & Batya Segal, Marty Goetz, Jonathan Settel and more! Here's some info about Ray:
As a graduate of Calvary Chapel Bible College, Twin Peaks, Calif., Ray served at Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa at the House of Psalms before beginning his pastoral work. In the fall of 1977, Ray Bentley founded Calvary Chapel of El Cajon and served there as the senior pastor for four years. In 1981, he left Calvary Chapel of El Cajon to assume the position of assistant pastor and teacher at Horizon Christian Fellowship with Mike MacIntosh in San Diego, Calif. In August of 1984, Ray left Horizon Christian Fellowship to begin Maranatha Chapel where he serves today as the senior pastor. In fall of 1997, Maranatha Chapel moved into a new 15-acre church facility in Rancho Bernardo that serves approximately 7,000 people weekly.
In recent years, Pastor Ray has taken opportunities to preach at a Billy Graham sponsored crusade in India, as well as other outreaches in England, Scotland, Australia, Ireland, Africa, China and the Philippines. He has been a featured speaker at Epicenter Conferences with Joel Rosenberg and numerous other national and international pastors conferences and ministry events. As a close friend of the late mayor of Ariel, Ron Nachman, Ray has also become deeply involved in Israel and launched the Nehemiah Project, a ministry of Maranatha Chapel that supports the efforts of numerous outreaches and organizations in Israel including the Joshua Fund, the Nazareth Baptist Church, Hope for Ishmael, the Jewish Agency for Israel and the American Friends of Ariel.
In 1992, Ray established Maranatha Christian Schools to equip children, K-12 grade, with the spiritual, social and scholastic skills to foster a better equipped future community of believers. In winter of 2004, Ray dedicated a 100-acre property, which houses a campus for up to 2,000 future students.
Ray Bentley is host to the daily Maranatha Radio show heard on stations across the United States and around the world. He has authored five books and numerous booklets and other resources.
His newest book, "The Holy Land Key: Unlocking End-Times Prophecy Through the Lives of God's People in Israel," was released from Waterbrook (a division of Random House) Feb. 18, 2014. It is a study of prophecy inspires elaborate timelines and speculation about which world leader might rise to power in the last days. It's far too easy to miss the significant prophetic signs contained in stories of biblical characters, in God's creation, and in the lives and actions of today's Israelis and Palestinians.
