The children know her as Miss Debbie, and for two hours every day after school, she has a live call-in radio show that reaches kids across the nation. Her listeners eagerly call in their answers to the Bible quiz question of the day to win a prize, and quote the Bible verse of the day they’ve memorized.
Adults know her as Deborah Eckelbarger. Her pastor father started a Christian station in Lake Havasu, AZ in 1983 when she was just 7, and after her personal “walk in the wilderness,” Miss Debbie has been using the show as a way to teach young listeners to find life answers in the Bible.
The voice of one young caller – maybe early elementary school age – comes on, and Miss Debbie announces they’re going to play a game called “Friend or Foe?”
She says, “Lucifer.”
Without hesitation, the voice on the other end says “Foe.”
Miss Debbie says, “Saul of Tarsus.”
The young caller answers, “Foe, because he’s not Paul yet.”
Her passion is in teaching children how to develop a personal relationship with Christ, knowing that the lessons they learn at a young age will shape their lives for years to come.
