Happs, states, “Jeremy’s experience is second only to his heart for both Jesus and the people that he reaches through his show and programming.”

Jeremy says, “So thankful for my time at WCIC and the team there. Looking forward to this new chapter of pouring into and serving the community of Omaha! I’m excited about what the staff of KGBI have already built and are working towards in the future!”
