Stories from Radio Friends

"Keeping On" - Lois Cook Gillern
The word would go throughout the house to whoever was around, “Be quiet. Papa’s making tapes.” We all knew what that meant. Papa was home and hoping to record one or more radio broadcasts. There were three phones in the house. If you’ve listened to the broadcast for any length...
"Blessed Reassurance" - Barry
The darkness of depression nearly took me years ago, had it not been for the live broadcasts I listened to every morning. Dr. Cook was such a comfort to me. We can trust the Lord is with us, no matter what. But it helps hearing a kind, human voice, such...
"Walking with the King, Together" - Jim and Judy
I first discovered Dr. Cook before I met and married my husband. This was back in the mid 1970’s, and I listened to his friendly and encouraging voice on a Christian radio station in Chicago, IL as he brought glory to our Lord with each broadcast. After we married, we...
"Calm in the Chaos" - Trudy
I am so grateful to the staff of Walk With the King Radio and Internet ministry!!!  I've been a listener to this Ministry for about 30 years or more.  My entire family has been listening in throughout the years.  (My husband, and my two sons, who are now ages 21...
"My Photographic Friend" - John
My Friend Through Time My relationship with Walk With The King began in 2016 as a young freelance writer, picking up jobs wherever I could. I’d never heard the friendly voice of the late, great Dr. Robert A. Cook. One of my first Walk With The King writing assignments actually...

"40 Year Friend" - Randy
I don’t remember how I found WWTK 40 years ago but Dr. Cook has been a role model and best friend ever since.  And, no, we never met.  It started in the early 1980’s when I started listening every day to WWTK on my way to work.  I had been...
"Faith Through Fires" - Andrew and Stephanie
I was in the Navy, stationed at the now-closed Alameda Naval Air Station, in Alameda California. The year was 1993 and I had just completed my first deployment. It was a difficult time in my life, as it can be for many young men and women when they first join...
"He Tuned In" - Joanne
Several years ago, during a very difficult time of my life, I was introduced to Walk With The King. It was a very strange occurrence because the clock radio in my bedroom suddenly one morning would not receive any station other than the one that was broadcasting WWTK. So, each...
"Walking with the King" - Rev. Dr. Hugh Marriott
As a child, I always had a “God-consciousness”. Deep down inside, I felt that there was a certain call on my life that would require me to give something of myself to others that I may not necessarily be eager to do. With this uncertainty, I pursued a career in...
