The hosts of the Christian Car Guy show reflect on their favorite cars and how they represent God's provision in their lives. They share stories of how their cars have taken them on journeys and provided for them, and how they have come to realize that it's not the cars themselves that are important, but the relationships and faith that they represent.

This is the Truth Network. Every morning I open the gates see my car It's never late. Shining bright. Right under the sun. Ready to roll.

The day's begun My faith. My loyal friend, together we We drive no matter the air through the sea lights all mountain air I feel so free when you're right there Welcome to the Christian Car Guy Radio Show. this calls for action and now. Rain or shine? You never fail through every road through every trail.

You've been my joy, my trusted star. Forever mine My favorite car My favorite Favorite car, my loyal friend on every road till journey's end. You take me far, you take me home with you. I'm never alone. My favorite car today on the Christian Car Guy Show, that song could not be more perfect.

I I still can't believe God showed it to me this morning for what we want to talk about today.

So I am with my good friend, very good friend Jerry Mathis today and my Christian Body Shop guy. Um I've been at the NRB all week. in Nashville, Tennessee. And you know to experience that and I You know, I hope a lot of people will get to experience it in their life: is to see how God's working around the world. And um I interviewed I don't know Thirty people.

I don't know. I interviewed a lot of people. I saw a lot of things, but I really got a first-hand idea of what's going on in Iran from a church. A lady that works with churches in Iran. I got amazing insight on what's going on in Israel currently.

Amazing insight of what's going on to the North Africa and places that. Christians are being persecuted around the world. A lot going on. A lot going on. But one of the things that just affected me.

Um which is going to get to the subject of today's show, which is my favorite car, was Um the Salem Breakfast and for those who don't know um our owner, Stu Everson, his father was Stuart Everson Sr. and the founder of Salem Broadcasting, the largest Christian network in the world, and in the certainly the Christian You know. Radio Hall of Fame in all sorts of different ways. They have a Stuart Epperson Senior Award for Christian Excellence for Christian Broadcasting Excellence that they give out the last few years. And this year the recipient was David Jeremiah.

And it was kind of cool because my boss and my good friend Stu was involved in giving him that award. But then they had an interview with David Jeremiah that was just a discussion on the couch. And this gentleman that was interviewing him was brilliant, and he had some amazing questions to ask him. And one of the questions he asked him right at the end of the interview, which affected me, was How do you want to be remembered? We're asking David Jeremiah, right?

He's 84 years old, suffering with a horrible back disease. To watch him walk, you can see it, you make, but he's running as fast as any human being. They told me, I think he still preaches three times on Sunday, does all his radio stuff, all the events that he does. You know, I saw him at one of the breakfasts Tammy and I were at. You know, I mean, he was just in line with us as we're getting our food.

Amazing man. Anyway, they ask him how Do you want to be remembered? And his answer stunned me. He said. I want to be remembered as A friend of God, right?

As His servant, is that that was what He said first. But the second thing is what got me. He said, I don't want to be remembered as a partner. to my wife. And then I want to be remembered as a dad, as a parent, as a granddad.

And then I want to be remembered as a pastor. And the order of that I thought was Spectacularly different in just a minor way, but that minor way was huge. And he didn't say, I want to be remembered by my family. What he said, I wanted to be remembered by my wife. And then my kids, you know, the way he did it.

Just grab me. Like... It's significantly different. Right. Absolutely.

And just a picture of The ministry that God gave him, and it gives to each and every one of us. Yeah, and you may be aware that, you know, David Jeremiah has certainly, from my standpoint, the largest broadcast Christian ministry out there. And Touches millions of people through. I think he's doing nine books this year, right? He's got satellite.

It's unbelievable what all. you know, turning point does. But when you listen to his priorities. Um It was just fascinating. And I know because I'm blessed because of Stu and whatever God gave me connections.

I've been around him a lot. And you will rarely ever see David Jeremiah, rarely ever see him at anything that his wife won't be there. And David Michael won't be there, his oldest son. It would be a rare event that they would not be involved. And you may know David Michael.

operates his ministry for the most part. But it just shows You know, something really neat, I thought. And so I was thinking about what kind of car show I wanted to do today, or what I felt like God was leading me to do. And I asked him for something simple, actually, because I'm kind of tired. Eh eh.

And he started me down this road of memory like When I remember my cars, like what was my favorite car And I began to think about this, and it's just the way Robbie's mind works. Immediately I thought about the cool cars, right? And I had an Opel GT and I had this um Chevy Monte Carlo. It was a 71. It was a beautiful car, red with a white vinyl top.

I mean, these were spectacular cars. They had a Volkswagen Beetle. But you know, and even old Red Might have been on the list, except each of those cars honestly were kind of a pain. They had their quirks. They had their problems.

I was always fixing them. And they weren't. A trusted friend.

So When Tammy and I lost everything in the dealership and We had no money and um You know, we're trying to figure out how to get the Deposit on the power going, and we had to have a car because you know, the dealership, we lost the dealership, we had to have a car. And uh I went to the auction. because of dealer's license at the time. And You know, I was looking at programmed cars and I just wanted to buy something I could pay cash for because I knew you know, that I didn't have any room to make any payments or whatever. And I went over the programmed cars, which that means old rented cars for those who don't know it, but they're they're not all that old.

But anyway, The the Dodge Stratuses at the time were really a a good value from my standpoint because I knew it was a great, reliable car. And I would never buy a silver car on a bet because silver cars as you know, they you can't match the paint. They're the most likely to get in an accident 'cause you can't see them coming. But here came this silver Dodge Stratus. And It had like 40,000 miles on it, whatever it was.

And it was a four-cylinder, which I wanted because a four-cylinder on that car was a lot more reliable. And I bought that car for $5,000. And it was like just a year old. Right? That car We called it the silver bullet.

It was bulletproof. I still, and I've often thought, and I heard this said by a dear friend one time, that when you're in the desert, God doesn't let your shoes wear out. Yeah. And he gave me that car for that season. Because I can't even...

I bet we put 300,000 miles on it. We took it everywhere. I can't even tell you how many times we had to, because Tammy's grandmother was sick. We were always going to Texas in the car. And it never, I mean, it never missed a.

I mean, we're talking about making long trips in that car. And it just went and went and went and went. And so I was hoping today, as you're thinking about what's your favorite car from that standpoint, the one that just, man, it never let you down. When you really needed it, I would love to hear that story. 866-348-7884-866-34 Truth.

I hope you're thinking. We got RK in the garage coming up at the bottom of the hour. We got stuff to talk about with the Jesus Labor Love. I have my good friend Jerry, and I bet he's got a story. How about you?

866-348 7884-86634-TRUTH. We'll be right back. Music plays the windows down. We cruise along from town to town. And memories made on every street.

With every mile. My heart skips a beat My face. Come, my loyal friend. Together we drive. You know, I've listened to that song all morning, you know, as God showed it to me.

And it's clear to me, if you listen to all the lyrics, that she isn't talking about a car. She's talking about the provider of the car. Right. And You know, if you think back to that car. That God provided for you, and then how He kept it running in spite of.

You know, the way we've abused it, or whatever, you know, the situation may have been at the time, it's absolutely mind-blowing. But that's. You know. it it's just clear that Yeah. We attach value to things rather than relationships.

And Jerry, you were talking about that. But but let me give you the offer again, because I really want to hear about your favorite car. 866-348-7884. It's the number to call in and share 866-348-7884. Jerry?

Yeah, I'm I don't know. I'm going to kind of take a step back in the previous episode, the segment that you were in. Talk about David Jeremiah and stuff and how it touched you and stuff. As we were talking, off air. I think You know, it was powerful because I think too many times we as humans put value in things that have no value.

And we put all of our energy in it, and we think that's what's going to define us.

Well, David Jeremiah has a lot of things that would define him, but in his heart of hearts, it was, it started with his wife, that relationship, and with his kids. And then it was being a preacher. He didn't say, I want everybody to remember me for the broadcast or the books I wrote. Those are byproduct. Of who we are and who our relationship is.

And I think that when he went down that line of things that he wants to be remembered by and for. Yeah. was the same way God looks at us, Jesus Christ looks at us. It isn't about the the Flashiness, and as I talked to Robbie, I mean, there was a time in Robbie's life when. Uh being a Owning a car dealership was the thing he's pumping energy into and everything.

I thought that was what was going to define you. Robbie Dillmore will not be defined by having Westside, Chrysler, Plymouth. They're working at North's Point Christ or being a Christian. Right. It's just God.

God has Plans for us. And sometimes we let the human side of us, human nature take over. As I said, I mean, I was. When I was younger, I had a lot of opportunities. And and I was saying is just Luckily, I had a little bit of athletic ability in skating, and I got a lot.

I traveled through the country. I was able to coach them at the Olympic Training Center. And it was a time when I could walk in that building in Colorado Springs and people knew who I was. Two years after I'd got out of it, I could walk in that building and I wouldn't have got through the front gate because what are you doing here? And who are you?

But that's, I put all that energy into it, but that isn't. That brought no glory. That brought no fulfillment. End of the day, It was empty. And God wants to fill us.

God wants to fill us with His love. And by that, us to show it to others. I think that's what we're going to always be remembered for. how much we love Jesus Christ. and understanding how much he loves us.

Yeah, and I again I I was blown away and I was as I was thinking through this whole subject matter. I I interviewed I don't know. how many authors? And most of them had just written their first book, and they came to the NRB in hopes of people seeing what God had told them. And you could see their hearts and right there in their stories.

as as all of a sudden In most cases, they awakened to the fact that they'd known about God. For however many years they went to church or whatever had happened. But all of a sudden, something happened, usually, some kind of severe struggle in their life. where they came to know Jesus, right? And that revelation sparked their need.

to write their story. Which is, by the way, the testimony, the way they're going to overcome by the blood of the Lamb. And that testimony is so strong in their hearts that, like Christian in the Pilgrim's Progress, they've got to write it and they're going to put it in their bosom, right? They're going to hold it right there and hold on to it tight. And I just sit there and listen.

You know, I don't honestly think many of the people that would interview them would really listen. for God's footsteps. in the story. It takes some time and you have to work through whatever personalities the the people you're interviewing is. Believe me when I tell you, if you listen And you ask the right questions, you can get them on that, and you can hear God's footsteps as He's coming and knocking on the door and says, Hey.

I want to get to know you intimately. I want to truly have a deep relationship with you. And That sparked something inside people, apparently, as I've seen it so many times. Were they going to write a book on it? Right?

Yeah. And and That's the best testimony we can ever have is what God has done in our lives. And I think sometimes when we When we sit down and we write it out and stuff, and God lays it on your heart to do that, I'm not a writer, so it'll never happen. A paragraph at a time is about maxes me out, but. When somebody sits down and does it, all of a sudden you see the depths of their relationship with Christ.

And you see, and the story usually unfolds some turns and twists that. Is unexpected. Oh, yeah. Yeah, they didn't see it coming. And when it hit them, Like, oh my gosh, it changed everything.

And The the light in their eyes And the excitement of what they've done. Uh it is is more than spectacular.

So we got Ruth is in Richmond. She remembers a Pontiac. I love Pontiacs, by the way. The wide track. Ruth, you're on the Christian Car Guy Show.

Good morning. Hi, Robbie. I really had no idea I'd be calling, but actually I was listening to you talking about doctor Jeremiah first. I loved him. I love him.

I've met him in person. We're downstairs in the church. Uh-oh, Ruth, I hear that music meeting. We're going to a break, but you can hold on for me, I hope. I will.

We're going to hear about this Pontiac. What color was it? Oh, yeah, thank you. We'll be right back. Music plays the windows down.

We cruise along from town to town. Memories made on it. Every street. With every mind. My heart skips a beat My faith.

Favorite car. My loyal friend, together we drive. My favorite car today on the Christian Car Guy Show, how fun is that? And when we left our hero Ruth, she was going to tell us about this Pontiac. And, you know, that my heart kind of skips a beat just to hear the word Pontiac because my father was a Pontiac dealer.

Some of the earlier dealerships I worked in were Pontiac dealerships. And so I'm very familiar with that brand, Ruth.

So. What what was your punny act? I did not know your that your daddy I I listen to you all the time on Saturday while I'm working in here, and I didn't know your daddy was a owned Pontiacs. My daddy uh owned owned the Pontiac. It was bra he bought it brand new when when I got married.

And uh but that really I have an infinity right now and I don't think daddy was too happy when I got it because I think he thought it was too much to be worked on, you know, too expensive. But anyway, I remember daddy's Pontiac when I got married. I got married june twenty third, nineteen sixty two. And it was hot as blazes. And daddy didn't have any air conditioning on that car.

And thank the Lord it was not very far to the church. But That's what I remember about a Pontiac. Was it a big Pontiac or was it a Bonneville? Do you remember that? Do you remember the.

Ruth, do you remember that? We didn't own him. It was not his whole life. He was a very good man. But uh, I like my infinity, but I don't like I it's not new.

It's not a new new infinity. Oh, is that new? It's not that new. You were talking about. I I thought about that Pontiac.

You talked about a Pontiac not long ago, I don't know, a couple of months ago. And I thought they don't even make them anymore, you know.

So, uh that's horrible. That's right. My Infinity has been fine so far, but You know, I'm not about cars. I mean, I'm about God things. I just love God.

What you mentioned about Orion today, I think we need to really get to praying and the Lord is so close and Oh. Yeah, we do. And I I wish you could have looked in the eyes. And we're not going to take anything with us. Kevin had a 67 Mustang.

Wow.

Well, Ruth, can you hear me, Ruth? And even if it went bad as it was sitting out there driveway and I was the only one that would clean the car up. But anyway, I ended up selling that over the box to this. I'm going to put you on hold and hopefully that Nick can get on with it. I'm sorry.

And I thought that was a pretty neat car for a young man. He was 18 when he got it. That's awesome. All right, we put Ruth on hold for a minute so she could get in touch with Keith. You know, I don't want to hurt her feelings.

She's awesome, and I appreciate her call very much. But, you know, we want to move to RK in the garage. And so, in the garage with RK, uh, How are you my friend? Good morning. Now time for the legendary garage of RK88 and still bulk rock.

Yeah. He's 89 in full throttle as of this week, am I right?

Well, I've no good morning, Robbie. I've no know if I'm full throttle, I'm climbing that mountain, but I It's a little bit of a struggle getting up that mountain. I I feel like I've got to go, but I just don't have the energy to get there yet. But I'm getting there. But you turned 89 this week, right?

Yes, on Monday, yes. Wonderful. Happy birthday, Bertha. Yeah, he's 89 and still.

So, what was your favorite car, R.K.?

Well I had a bunch of them, but the one I loved the most was the 57 Chevy Convertible. Yeah. Everybody wanted in the shop. in my dad's shop and it had a turbo glide in it. And the man had done it four times.

He had to fix the transmission. Finally, he gave up. And he said he was going to sell it.

Well, Everybody came running in the shop, but I was the first there and he liked me.

So No, he said I'm going to sell it to you, Richard.

So I bought that car for six hundred bucks, fifty seven Chevy, Salmon Pink, convertible, white top, checkered interior, but it had a turbo glide in it. And turbo glides were 57 to 59, and they were not the best shovel he made, and he got rid of them. I bought the car and put a power glide in it. The only thing I changed was the indicator on the dash because it had part. reverse neutral drive and GR.

turbo glide. GR was a gear retard. coming down the for coming down hills. And the power glidehead head. Did you know that, Jerry?

No, I didn't.

So it had a on the on the power gli it on it had a GR It was called TurboGlide. In fact, there was one on the internet the other day, a 58. That had a turbo glide ch in pallet and convertible that had it that has a turbo glide in it. I don't know who keeps it running, but they were kind of bad transmissions. They gave up them two years later in 1959.

You know, that's funny because at Prius Um That I have. has a a a gear in it that does that same kind of thing. Only it does it with electricity. Uh I forget what they call it. It's a single drive or a sign road drive or something like that.

Yeah, but it's the same kind of thing. Like when you're going down a hill, if you want to generate a lot of electricity and slow the car down, it does the same thing. But I read the owner's manual and it said something like the power glide. People like. Don't try this at home, it's not good for your car.

I'm like, all right, you convinced me I'm not doing that anymore. But um So what have you got for us today, R.K.?

Well, Alright. I thought I would start from the beginning uh how I got uh how not how I got here, I know how I got here, but I mean how my dad started in uh And and I came along in 37.

So My dad was born in in in nineteen hundred. And He lived at Mississippi Avenue in West Orange, New Jersey from German parents. He was born in this country. And he, and I still remember. Robbie, they they The garage.

Well, if you looked at the house facing on the left hand side was the g grape yar vineyard that my grandpa had because he was making w wine all the time, German. And then the house and then the blacksmith shop. He was the last blacksmith sh blacksmith in West Orange, New Jersey. Did all the Yes, all the My grandfather did all the horses and drew the horses and did the wagon wheels and even made a sign for Powell's cabin on top of the mountain that they he never paid My grandfather fought and remember him going up to wa he my dad said he walked up that mountain to get paid. From from Jimmy Horn, I think the name of the place was Bow's Cabin.

was the blackfish shop and then alongside that was a They built in 1921. A garage, a automotive garage. And at that time, my brother his brother my father's brother and he were went in together. uh for years, but the I guess that couldn't get along with my with his uh with his sister-in-law.

So anyway, at that time they did my family, huh? I think he left in twenty nine. or or thirty w early thirties he left. But All that time when they after they opened up, they did Thomas A. Edison's vehicles.

Thomas A. Edison lived in Wallen Park there, and he had all his vehicles.

So, Dad and Uncle Bill. would do all the repair work. And I still remember they had a three-wheel Harley-Davidson motorcycle with a big hook on the end of it. And back then, they had those. those uh bumpers that you could like put a a clamp, like a a C clamp on 'em and then you tow the you drive the car to the person's house and take the motorcycle up and go back to go back to the shop.

That's how they delivered the cars then. Wow.

Anyway, but I came along in thirty seven And I and my dad met my mother in 1929 in Torrey Corner, which was about fifty feet from the end of Mississippi Avenue when her car got stuck. And that that was the beginning of my mom and dad. And I I remember He would say, he didn't know how I met my wife, but I couldn't remember. Exactly what happened to the car, but it was an English Ford at the time she was driving. I rem wa way back then.

I don't know how she got it here. But that was what it was. But anyway, uh during that time, then I came along in thirty-seven and I said, Dad, this is what we do, you know. And he was the mechanic and he worked for General Motors. He worked for uh well, first before he wa left his father, That's his brother.

He went to work for GM Deal as well.

Well, Rick, Richard, we got to go to a break. Um So we can pick up our story from 19... 30 or might be in the 40s by now because if you're going to get to work, we're going to find our way. We're going to do that. And we want to give anybody an opportunity to call in with their favorite car: 866-348-7884-866-34 Truth.

We'll be back with Lamore Christian Car Guy. My face Favorite car, my loyal friend on every road till journey's end. You take me far, you take me home with you. I'm never alone as I listened to that last verse a few times. I came to the conclusion the song is not about a car that.

In a way we We realize that our cars do take us home and they do keep us from being alone. But who provided that car is the m is the is the important ingredient of understanding. And I watched that this week at the NRB. as a lot of folks were sharing their testimonies with me as I interviewed them. And what happened was They'd always had all this provision.

They just didn't know where it came from. And when the light came on, like, oh my goodness. Arcade. God provided your grandfather. God provided that.

Anvil. God you know, provided that English Ford that Allowed your father to meet your mother and I know he provided that Cadillac. that allowed you to meet your wife. Right? Yep, it did something I never saw today.

Oh, yeah. He, in all inanimate way, Um Because he loves you. He knows what your heart needs. And it's an amazing thing. But anyway, getting back to your story, because I got to hear it.

So you went to work in your dad's shop. Um they're in I did that. I did that. But, Robbie, there was one little thing I wanted to mention.

Okay. You probably think I'm crazy, but. But I my dad worked for a uh all these dealerships as a service manager.

Now as a service manager, he knew How to fix the car.

So if he told the mechanic what to do, he could do it. Right. They don't have too many of them people around anywhere, as you know. No. Can tell you and then do it themselves.

Anyway, in 36, he sold, he worked for Heinrich Souls. He sold a 36 Holzmill to Caroline Woodrow. She was a Southern belt. She lived at Thirty Three Overlook Avenue 'cause I remember 'cause I bought her house when after she passed on in sixty four. I bought it in sixty seven for my family.

But anyway, A 36 Osmoville on a Saturday morning, we rented a garage during the war. Up the street from our house, and he would go there and fix cars for the cut the people to make a dollar on the side.

So on a Saturday morning, they said we got a collection in Caroline's car today. 36 old straight six cylinder. Yeah, it's 9624. She had back and we're starting to call it. We're starting to lose you, RK.

Can you get in another place, part of your house, so we can hear you better? How's that? That's better. Better? Yeah.

So, anyway, he said, We've got to put a clutch in the car. I said, All right. I'm going out for lunch. This is about 10 o'clock in the morning. I said, I didn't know what he would go so early for, but he went out for it.

As found out later, is Scotch sludge. Anyway, he didn't come back. I jacked up the car. I took the floorboard off. He didn't come back.

I started doing everything.

Well By three o'clock, I had taken the whole car apart. Checked the flywheel, done everything. I'm nine years old. And I put everything back together and tratted it on the horses. I didn't let it down until it worked.

And then I let it down and put it on the ground. And he came back, short German guy, about five, seven and a half. What are you doing? I thought you jacked that car up. I said, I did that.

He looked at me, I don't remember what the expression was or anything, but I don't think he believed me. He jacked the carpet and took it all apart and couldn't find one bolt loose.

Now, let me, I got to slow you down again because I'm just sitting there going, huh? You had to take off the floorboard of the car in order to replace the clutch?

Well, yes, on you take the floor mat up and then the stick come out of the middle of the car, you know, then three speed. And you had to take the gear shift off, and then the floorboard had to come out because you had to get out the bolts on top of the engine where it hit the bell housing so you could get well. You didn't know all that, but I'm just picturing the engineering that was behind. Like, oh my goodness.

Well, now I begin to understand. You know, I look at our model A and that floor mat and that floorboard, it was just a different world back then. It wasn't. I mean, the floorboard. I mean, Jerry, are you tracking with this?

Yeah, yeah. Because I. I'm trying to think. I know up to in the 70s they still use that. That method will yet get in there and access it from the floorboard side of the change of clutch.

And drop a transmission also. Really? Yeah. Yes. Yeah.

It shows what I know. Come on, Robbie. How many transmissions you changed? 70 model cars, never none. But anyway, that's cool.

So nine years old. You put a clutch in a 36 Ozmobile. Yes. And your dad said at the end after he found all the bolts were tight, what did he say? I don't remember.

I can't remember that part. Probably be back next Saturday. We're going to do another. That's more than amazing.

Well, Richard, I got to tell you, as always, you have blessed us with stories that we couldn't find anywhere else. Yeah. The point of all that is we think about it, and God provided Um Something that you love to this day. At 89 years old, he was telling me yesterday, I was talking to him, and he just had surgery here. He's still recovering from the surgery.

And he goes, Well, I'm trying to get out into the garage. I'm like, You're doing what? The car's got to be fixed, Rob. The cars have got to be fixed. There was this car I didn't fix before the surgery, and I got to get out there.

Like, man, Richard. Take care of yourself, buddy. Please, please. I'm going to do it today. I'm going to do it yesterday.

I'm going to do it today. Well, I plan on seeing you in church tomorrow. And, my friend, I love you. God bless. We will talk to you next.

Well, we're going to talk to you tomorrow, but we'll talk to you next week on the show. I love you, my friend. Thank you very much. You're welcome. God bless.

Bye-bye. God bless. Bye. Where else can you get in the garage with RK, Jerry? Yeah.

Uh the st you know what? I I I I love history and stuff, and my my wife will tell you, don't go on a battleship, a battlefield, or anything that's like that because She says I have to read every placard and everything. But just hearing people talk and stuff, just reflecting back in a different time, in a different era, man, is that not, for one thing, it's encouraging. Second thing, those stories are, you know, thank God, they're time capsules. It really is.

It really is. And when you think of it, he was nine, now he's 89.

So here we are 80 years later. 80 years later. And I'm not quite 89, so thank goodness. But his story kind of reflects some of the stuff. I mean, I grew up with dad was the same thing.

It was the same thing. I had a, you know, when I was young. You know, I can remember being very young, but I know for probably my mom cried for two years because.
