Look, it's "America's First Evangelical Anchorman"

You don't see this one everyday. Spotted on the Pomo Blog. In the Detroit area, you can watch Frank Turner nightly at 5 & 7 pm on WXYZ, Channel 7. The rest of the time you can see him as "America's First Evangelical Anchorman."
As a gifted news anchor, evangelist, seminar speaker and Bible teacher, Frank is a unique and formidable weapon for the Lord's Kingdom.
Turner wasn't always "America's First Evangelical Anchorman." He went through some trials before the conversion:
Through the limitless depths of His grace and mercy, extended to me in the sacrifice of His dear Son, God has revealed Himself to me in an awesome and dramatic way. After 25 years of drug and alcohol addiction, depression and anxiety, divorce and bankruptcy, helplessness and hopelessness, and finally complete humiliation in my public firing from my 5 p.m. anchor job at Channel 7 in 1998, the Lord Jesus stepped into my life.
Will this spread across America's newsrooms? Probably not. Looks like there has been some controversy. CONTACT: Leave me a Houston or Texas media news tip | COMMENT: Click to leave your thoughts on this post here
