The Frederick Faith Debate is an open and honest forum for our local faith community leaders to share and discuss their views of the truth.�

Thomas Jefferson once said, �The clash of ideas is the sound of freedom�.� In that spirit, we seriously wrestle with important ideas� and�are free to disagree with one another.�

The hope is that through our wrestling we will develop a better understanding of the truth about the most important issues that face us in this world.

If you are a local faith community leader, or know one that would like to participate in a future roundtable, please contact Troy Skinner at the offices of WFMD.� Also, if you have a topic you�d like to hear discussed or a question you'd like answered, please share that, as well.

About Troy Skinner

Troy is a lifelong Chicago sports fan, getting into the radio business initially in an effort to be closer to the teams he already followed so closely.

From intern to Program Director, part-timer to Sales Manager, Troy's career has run the gamut in a variety of cities including Chicago, Orlando, Syracuse, New York City, and Frederick.

In addition to a number of "behind the scenes" radio responsibilities, Troy has spent time behind the microphone in a variety of capacities: sports reporter, news anchor, disc jockey, commercial production, and talk show host.

Raised in a nominally Christian home, Troy recommitted himself to serving the object of his faith, Jesus Christ, as an adult. He and his family are members of Poolesville Baptist Church.

Not always sure of the answers, Troy loves asking questions in an attempt to get to the heart of a matter.  He views the radio show as both a public service and a personal education.

He is very proud of the diversity of guests and subjects so far featured on the show.  From Buddhist to Baha'i. Roman Catholic to Eastern Orthodox. Atheist to Agnostic. Mormon to Muslim. Unitarian to Jewish. Charismatic to Presbyterian. Esoteric New Age Psychology to Conservative Fundamentalism.

It’s ready to go ... help us get it there!

More than 100,000 children fed by Convoy of Hope and YOU!

Daniel was fed ... because of you.

A few years ago during his first day of school, in kindergarten, he asked for food —

The youngest of ten children from an impoverished family, he was skinny and malnourished.

Thankfully, his school in El Salvador is one where Convoy of Hope feeds children.

Because of the support of friends like you, Daniel is now a healthy 7th grader who excels academically!

Over the next two months, 484,000 pounds of food will be ready to go — to provide meals for more than 100,000 hungry children in seven nations around the world.

Please click here to find out more about where this food is going and how you can help get it into the hands of hungry children, like Daniel.

The meals we bring to children in places like El Salvador, the Philippines and Kenya demonstrate God’s love — and help them in so many ways. Thank you for helping us feed the children!

God bless you,

Hal Donaldson, President
