Have you had a chance to visit Main & Gabel yet? It’s our new afternoon show on Family Life. Terese Main has moved from the Rise Up Morning Show and is joined by Jesse Gabel from the Family Hour each afternoon from 3 to 7. It’s a place we can meet for fun and encouragement as you transition from work to home each day. Tune in for the latest weather from Kevin Williams, news with Sarah Harnisch, exciting games and contests, and conversation that will make you smile, and help you grow in your faith.
God wastes nothing so never take a chance meeting as mere coincidence! Terese met Family Life President Rick Snavely backstage at a concert one night and didn’t think very much of it. As time went on, her heart softened to the possibility of joining the ministry. The Lord increased that desire to the point where she could think of nothing she wanted to do more!
You can hear Terese as co-host of Family Life Main & Gabel. Before joining Family Life, Terese spent 15-years on the air in Rochester, NY.
Having grown up in Dryden, NY, attended Ithaca College and then moved to Rochester, Terese has spent her whole life in the Family Life listening area. She’s come to appreciate the beauty and wonder of this part of the country.
Terese accepted Jesus as her savior during High School, but walked away from Him during her 20’s. During that time, she met and married Scott, never having talked about her faith. A few years later, the topic came up and both shared the stories of their salvation, and started attending church, as they put Christ as the forefront of their lives. How good God is to have saved these two for each other! They are blessed with two daughters, Emily and Ashley.
As the oldest of five brothers, Jesse grew up in the small town of Gowanda. He was no more than eight years old when he started producing his own stop-motion animations and short films at home. With his trusty camcorder and goofy array of sibling actors, there was hardly ever a dull moment.
Jesse was a teenager when he started working part-time at a local hardware store. He would listen to Family Life on the radio with the hope of someday working here. While in school, he volunteered with our production team, and more than a year later, was offered a job. After graduating, Jesse began working as a part-time radio production assistant and has enjoyed every minute since.
Apart from his job, Jesse enjoys writing fiction and running role playing games with friends from around the world. He is a proud nerd and professional pastor’s kid who praises God for the incredible opportunities he has been given.
