Drew Marshall  The Drew Marshall Show
Saturday 1 - 5pm

With years of pastoring, counseling, public speaking and writing to his credit, Drew (www.drewmarshall.ca) is a natural, hosting the most listened to Christian talk show in the country. Sometimes provocative, sometimes disturbing but always interesting, Drew delves into areas that many Christians just don't talk about but should. Always balanced but unafraid to ask the tough questions, Drew is also a funny guy (not weird funny..well.. maybe a little) with a wit disarming enough to get to the heart of an interview or a story.

James Kurtis  JoyRide | Saturday 5 - 8pm

James Kurtis (www.jameskurtis.com) hosts The JoyRide every Saturday in addition to being our swing announcer. That means he’s a talented "jack of all trades" not only at JOY1250, but also in his local church overseeing the sound ministry. This Humber College Radio Broadcasting grad even has his own home recording studio where he does voiceovers, narrations and special assignments for clients throughout the country. A real favorite with listeners, James loves being interactive and involved.

Bill Craig  Sunday Praise | Sunday 3 - 5pm

Bill makes the trek in from Caledon East every Sunday afternoon for Sunday Praise, a program which takes Bill all week to prepare. He listens to every selection and matches it with an illustration from scripture, a story, or commentary. Bill is very involved with his church as a teacher, mentor and most important a Godly example of a life lived for Christ.

Davina Japaul  Gospel Praise | Sunday 5 - 8pm

Davina lights up the air waves with her unique and sensitive approach to Urban Gospel and the many listeners in the GTA who make Sunday's from 5:00pm-8:00pm their time to tune in, call in and be uplifted. Davina loves the music and the message it imparts as well as the Word which inspires it.

David McCallum  Swing/Promotion/Sales

David is our "jack of all trades". You almost have to sit on him to slow him down. At every event JOY1250 is at you'll see David (and able assistant, his wife Dorothy). Always smiling, David is our point man in the community with Christian Calendar a focal point for many as to what's happening in the GTA. With years of on-air experience David is heard many times throughout the year on all the air shifts.

One thing in common

Everyone at JOY1250 considers what we do to be a ministry; not a job or a chore. This singleness of purpose establishes us as we respond to the call of God on our lives.

We love what we do and we depend upon Him for His guidance as we prepare the programming heard over JOY. May it convey God’s love and purpose for your life.
