WHEREAS, LoveTalk Network celebrated 40 years of |
|
|
broadcasting in 2024; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, LoveTalk Network was founded by the late Evelyn |
|
|
Davison of Austin, who was inspired to share her faith with others |
|
|
after growing up listening to predominantly secular radio shows; in |
|
|
addition to her work on the program, she helped lead annual |
|
|
observances of the National Day of Prayer in Texas, wrote a |
|
|
multitude of books and articles, and served as publisher of the Good |
|
|
News Journal; she was also named America's Honorary Prayer |
|
|
Coordinator by former president George W. Bush; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, After hosting the show alone for a number of years, |
|
|
Mrs. Davison brought on Cathy Endebrock as a cohost; the two were |
|
|
later joined by Kerri Brinkoeter; upon Mrs. Davison's retirement, |
|
|
Marlene McMichael was added as a cohost; although Mrs. Davison |
|
|
passed in 2023, the trio has continued the program with the help of |
|
|
sponsors and the support of the community; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Broadcasting weekly, LoveTalk Network offers |
|
|
faith-based insights into such important topics as health and |
|
|
wellness, emotions, and phases of life, as well as analyses of |
|
|
Biblical themes; its hosts regularly bring on guests ranging from |
|
|
influential Christian speakers to leaders in the local community; |
|
|
and |
|
|
WHEREAS, One of the longest-running female-hosted radio |
|
|
shows in the State of Texas, LoveTalk Network continues to draw a |
|
|
strong local audience; it has been incorporated into the National |
|
|
Religious Broadcasters, the world's largest association of |
|
|
Christian communicators, and it now draws international listeners |
|
|
following its expansion to podcasting and the YouTube video-sharing |
|
|
platform; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, LoveTalk Network has long served as a source of |
|
|
inspiration and guidance to its listeners, and its continued |
|
|
existence is a testament to the unwavering commitment of its hosts, |
|
|
both past and present; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 89th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby commemorate the 40th anniversary of LoveTalk |
|
|
Network and extend to its hosts sincere best wishes for continued |
|
|
success; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for the program as an expression of high regard by the |
|
|
Texas House of Representatives. |
