Face to Face
     Where sports can truly make a difference

Face to Face is a radio program which focuses on Christian athletes. Professional and college athletes from all walks of life are interviewed, and talk about both their sports experiences and their love for Jesus Christ. All interviews are done in person, and have a warm, friendly feel rather than the hard interrogation of a typical interview. Over 450 athletes have been involved since the show began on one station in the fall of 1992. Face to Face is a thirty-minute show heard weekly on many stations. There is also a two-minute vignette of many athletes heard daily on some stations.

Tom Rust is the host of Face to Face. He has worked in radio since 1984 as a play-by-play host and color commentator on high school sports broadcasts in Columbus, Indiana. He was also involved with Youth for Christ for 27 years. Most recently, he directed the local Youth for Christ chapter in Columbus, leaving that post in 1998.
