The Rescuers radio show provides an opportunity to spotlight people who are working behind the scenes to make this world a better place. These people serve as inspiration and idea starters to encourage others to find creative ways to impact their community, their city, and the world.

Host Art Brooks has spent his career in broadcasting, both as on-air talent and in representing the industry as president and CEO of the Arizona Broadcasters Association for nearly 30 years. He was the driving force behind an Emmy-winning series of documentaries on drug abuse that combined a phone bank of 100 seasoned counselors and history-making "roadblock," as every TV station in Arizona and many radio stations broadcast the groundbreaking show on the same day at the same time. He also was instrumental in starting AZ AMBER Alert (one of two states in the nation where broadcasters initiated the program), helped form the Native American Broadcast Institute at Northern Arizona University and consulted with broadcasters in Bulgaria to help build commercial radio as the country was coming out of communism.

Rescuers airs 5:30-6 p.m. AZ time Thursdays on KPXQ-AM Faith Talk 1360, beginning May 7, 2020. Based in Phoenix, it is available internationally online. We invite you to submit names of heroes you think would be good subjects for the show - just message us on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/rescuersradioshow/

Hope & encouragement for the hurting - Inseong Kim

Marc Lucas has made a career as a pastor and a speaker. Over the past 20 years he has listened to men share about their needs and challenges, and helped them to find solutions and peace. Ultimately he realized his true calling was as a faith-based mentor and coach for families.

In a culture that demands we conform, perform, be cut-throat competitive, strive to “pull ourselves up by our bootstraps,” and be dependent solely on our own strength, Marc is committed to breaking men free from anything that holds them back from happiness. Like many, he himself has overcome anger issues, addiction, anxiety and many other struggles in his effort to become the best father and husband he could be.
