Many listeners have enjoyed the RISE UP show’s weekly featured “Jump Start” stories, poems and parables. I’ve included some of my favorites here on the web site for all to enjoy. If you feel that a particular story can reach out to someone you know, why not “Jump Start” their day? Tell them about RISE UP!

These "Jump Start" stories have been sent to me by various sources. I, John Ritter, do not claim to be the author of these stories. Some of the stories are listed author unknown because that is the way they were sent to the Rise Up show. If you know the author contact us immediately so we may give them credit. God's peace and thanks for listening to the show.
