The Rev. Canon Scott Gunn, executive director of Forward Movement, is the featured preacher March 10 on “Day 1” with host Peter Wallace, the nationally broadcast ecumenical radio program also accessible online at Day1.org.

Gunn is the executive director of Forward Movement, based in Cincinnati, Ohio. An independent agency of the Episcopal Church, Forward Movement publishes books and pamphlets and offers a variety of ministry resources for clergy, lay people, and churches. Gunn served churches in Rhode Island before coming to Forward Movement in 2011. A frequent church and conference speaker, he spends Sundays when he is not on the road at Christ Church Cathedral in Cincinnati where he is an honorary canon.

“My Life Has Never Been the Same,” his sermon for March 10, is based on the story of the temptations of Jesus found in Luke 4:1-13. “We are still very early in this season of Lent. There is still plenty of time to decide how you might use this time to turn to Jesus,” he says. “If you don’t yet have a plan, perhaps you will take a suggestion. Find a Bible. Or find a Bible app or a Bible website.”

Gunn is co-author with Melodie Shobe of two books, “Walk in Love: Episcopal Beliefs and Practices” and “Faithful Questions: Exploring the Way with Jesus.” A graduate of Luther College, he earned M.Div. and M.A. degrees from Yale divinity school, with Anglican Studies at Berkeley Divinity at Yale. He also earned an M.A. from Brown University. 

The program includes interviews with Gunn conducted by Wallace, who is also executive producer.

“Day 1” has been broadcast every week for 74 years, formerly as “The Protestant Hour.” Featuring outstanding preachers from the mainline denominations, “Day 1” is currently distributed to more than 200 radio stations across America and overseas. The program is produced by the Alliance for Christian Media, based in Atlanta, Ga. For more information, check the program’s website, http://day1.org.
