Although he may not seem like a typical bi-vocational minister, Southern Baptist pastor Don Kroah said being a full-time pastor and hosting an award-winning radio show are simply two things he believes God has assigned to him.
Kroah, who has been the senior pastor at Plymouth Haven Baptist Church in Alexandria, Va., since 2015, also hosts “The Don Kroah Show” on WAVA, which is owned by the Salem Media Group.
The show broadcasts daily Monday through Friday from 4 to 6 p.m., and has received multiple broadcasting awards since its start in 1997.
Its most recent award was a first-place prize for Best Documentary or Public Affairs Program at the Virginia Association of Broadcasters.
The program’s winning submission was an interview with former Virginia Congressman Frank Wolf regarding Christian genocide in Nigeria. The competition for the award included general radio programming, not just Christian.
Despite the success he has seen in the radio business over the years, Kroah sees it as only supplemental to his ministry.
He said, “My primary calling is that of pastor, but my vocation as well that the Lord has assigned me is broadcasting, and I think the two have served each other well in terms of the body of Christ and how we’ve been able to work.”
Kroah said being in DC affords it the opportunity to host guests with influence in the political world, but the show also prioritizes discussing Christian topics with well-known pastors.
