Kevin Harvey (76ers Chaplain / FCA South Jersey Area Director) & Burt Kearns (author of "Shemp")

Kevin Harvey, former Philadelphia 76ers team chaplain joins us today on our "Famous Friday" edition of the Tim DeMoss Show. Kevin offers memories of former 76ers star Dikembe Mutombo (who passed away at the end of September) including Mutombo's faith in action. Harvey also shares his personal faith journey and testimony and work with the Fellowship of Christian Athletes in South Jersey, where he serves as Area Director.  The FCA uses the powerful platform of sports to serve local communities around the globe by engaging, equipping and empowering coaches and athletes to unite, inspire and change the world through the gospel. Author Burt Kearns also appears on the show to discuss his new book, SHEMP!: The Biography of The Three Stooges’ Shemp Howard, The Face of Film Comedy (2024). The book chronicles the life of original member of the Three Stooges, Shemp Howard. In addition to rising to fame as a "Stooge," Kearns lays out lesser known aspects of Shemp's life and career, including his appearance in dramas, mysteries, Westerns, and musicals alongside the biggest stars of the Golden Age. The exciting, scintillating conclusion of the show features Tim's daughter Tessa exhibiting Herculean strength to fight past her sickness to contribute to the show's "cherry on the sundae," Now THAT'S Punny!
