20 Years of Faith, Miracles, and Live Radio: Bill Bunkley’s Anniversary Celebration

RSS Feed

At the intersection of faith & life is the Bill Bunkley show, briefing loyal radio listeners all across West-Central Florida faithfully for over 20 years.  Bill has a unique heart for conservative issues - particular conservative social issues, all informed by his deeply held faithful conviction.

Bill is the president of the Florida Ethics and Religious Liberties commission, and an abashed follower of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ.  He also brings an especially Floridian perspective to his program and podcast, as he served in many capacities over a lot of decades in the Sunshine state.

Join Bill Bunkley on a heartfelt and powerful 20th-anniversary edition of The Bill Bunkley Show. On November 15, 2005, Bill walked into what was then Salem Communications and started a daily radio journey that continues today across Central Florida on both Christian teaching/talk and conservative talk stations.

In this milestone episode, Bill looks back with deep gratitude:

  • Personal miracles: beating AML leukemia, a life-saving bone marrow transplant, and recent open-heart surgery
  • Harrowing mission trips: dodging danger in the Amazon jungle, smuggling Bibles on the China border, and standing with persecuted believers in Lebanon and the Killing Fields of Cambodia
  • Two decades of breaking-news coverage—from school shootings to the live moments of the Charlie Kirk assassination attempt
  • The unique privilege of broadcasting simultaneously to both Christian and conservative audiences

The celebration continues with an encouraging conversation with Rebecca Chambers of Focus on the Family, a mom raising an joyful eight-year-old son with Down syndrome, and the always-insightful Dr. Ted Baehr of MovieGuide reviewing the best (and safest) new Christmas and family films.

Above all, Bill gives glory to God for every moment on air and invites every listener to know the saving hope found only in Jesus Christ.

If you’ve ever listened, called in, or prayed for Bill over the past 20 years—this episode is for you.
