When faith meets frequency, transformation follows.
Mick Richards and Pastor David Beidel have launched a bold new radio broadcast aimed at igniting local churches with strategic, frontline tools for Gospel-driven impact. The Jesus Week Movement Radio Broadcast now airs weekly on WMCA 570 AM (The Mission) in New York City and across the Salem Communications network, delivering city-saturating strategy and missional clarity through the airwaves.
A Half-Hour Blueprint for Saturation to Transformation
Each episode is a 30-minute coaching and storytelling session that unpacks the practical framework behind the Saturation to Transformation movement. The broadcast blends biblical wisdom, tested tools, and real-world testimonies from the frontlines of the Jesus Week campaign.
Topics range from prayer saturation and zip code adoption to street outreach, school engagement, and neighborhood revival. Churches tuning in receive tangible steps they can take immediately to reach their communities, build coalitions, and sustain local missions work over the long haul.
Meet the Hosts: Strategy and Story in Motion
Together, Pastor David and Mick serve as co-founders, hosts, and field architects of the Jesus Week movement.
Pastor David Beidel is a longtime inner-city pastor, movement strategist, and author of Saturation: A Strategy for Gospel Immersion. As President of Urban Hope NYC, he has helped mobilize thousands of believers across New York’s boroughs and beyond. His strength lies in Spirit-led action, strategy, and unifying churches around practical models for citywide transformation.
Mick Richards is a documentary filmmaker, journalist, and founder of MissionWake. His production work and field strategy have helped shape Jesus Week from a grassroots initiative into a scalable movement. He brings narrative clarity and deep missional conviction to the air, helping listeners see both the vision and the pathway to walk it out.

Why the Broadcast Is Gaining Momentum
Listeners are tuning in because this is not just another talk show. It is hands-on equipping for anyone who wants to see their city changed. Every broadcast invites churches, leaders, volunteers, and even curious seekers to move from theory to action.
With real-time coaching, interviews, testimonies, and live call-in segments, the show is sparking fresh conversations across the tri-state region and beyond. People are not just listening. They are taking notes, gathering their teams, and launching new outreaches in response.
A Platform for the Church to Move Together
Broadcasting on WMCA 570 AM, part of the influential Salem Communications family, gives the show immediate reach across New York City’s five boroughs. But the impact doesn’t stop there. Episodes are also available online, making the broadcast a gateway for regional leaders, rural pastors, and mission-minded believers across the country to step into the Jesus Week model.
Every show provides action steps and a pathway for churches to connect, whether through Jesus Week’s downloadable tools or by joining the growing coalition of city adopters.
What’s Coming Next
Upcoming episodes will feature:
- Pastors who have adopted entire zip codes and seen real transformation
- Prayer leaders building spiritual coverage across housing communities and schools
- Jesus Week alumni stories from New York, New Jersey, and Philadelphia
- Creative event planning guides, movement templates, and strategy checklists
- Live Q&A call-ins with Mick and Pastor David for real-time coaching
Listeners can tune in every week on WMCA 570 AM or stream episodes directly through the Jesus Week website. Whether you are a pastor, an outreach leader, or someone just beginning to ask what’s next for your city, this broadcast gives you both the vision and the tools to step forward.
