MIAMI, Dec. 18 /Christian Newswire/ -- If your New Years Resolution list includes more time for spiritual growth and personal development, 1360 AM WKAT will be launching a fresh line-up of program resources to help South Florida listeners beginning January 1.
1360 WKAT South Florida’s Christian Talk debuts with some of the nation’s best known experts and Bible scholars including Dr. James Dobson and Pastor Chuck Swindoll.
