Remembering Charles Stanley

“Well done thou good and faithful servant.” I am sure is what Charles Stanley heard when he met Jesus. Not knowing Dr. Stanley personally, he was faithful, loved God with a passion and not afraid to show it or tell it. He had his struggles as man and as a Christian and never held back how he dealt with them. But it was through those struggles that he was able to help others grow in grace and knowledge of God.

I can’t remember exactly when I first heard Dr. Stanley, but I can say that it was on the radio station my mom always had playing, WARV 1590, Warwick Rhode Island. : ) WARV has been broadcasting for over 40 years so it’s safe to say I grew up listening to In Touch. I always enjoyed listening to stories of his growing up and the trouble he would sometimes find himself in with his mother. His sermons would inspire me either by cutting deep and causing me to squirm or by opening my eyes and reminding me to how much God really loves me.

Praying for the Stanley family and for the ministry and the employees of In Touch as they celebrate the life of Dr. Stanley.
