Each week we will feature on of the team here at WAY Radio, to help you get to know us better. This week we will feature Susanna Stephens!
Born in New Orleans and raised in Alabama, so however you sing the song “Oh, Susanna”, they both apply to me! People often ask, “If you had to go back to your childhood what would you change?” I absolutely loved my childhood and had a wonderful Christian family and extended family surrounding me. Being raised in a fishbowl (preacher’s kid) wasn’t always ideal, but I wouldn’t change a thing. For that I am eternally grateful!
I often say that I had to have my “throat slit” to meet my handsome prince because without thyroid removal/possible cancer surgery at 19, I would have NEVER moved to Kansas City to have surgery, and then stay. And that’s where I met Luke. Next to salvation, he was the best decision God allowed me to make. God gave us a daughter and a son and they continue to be blessings, especially now as adults, pursuing what the Lord has equipped them to do to glorify Him.
If I had a day to do whatever I wanted, I’d cook, sing/play the piano, meander antique shops and sit somewhere where I could see and hear the ocean waves OR a babbling brook in the mountains…preferably with my family. I guess I’m a sucker for water noises?
I knew as a 6 year old who constantly played “store” and marketed my older siblings doughnut sales (or anything they had to sell for school for that matter), that business administration was in my blood. When Luke and I got to WAY Radio & our youngest started school, working in the business/marketing side of the station was a natural fit. That was 16 years ago! I love hearing from our listeners and seeing God use this ministry to reach, teach and encourage so many.
