Linda Logsdon is also the Executive Director of the Women’s Resource Center, a pregnancy help center, in North
Platte. She has a passion to save the unborn and to help families become strong. Here at KJLT, she gets to expand that passion to do what I can to lead the lost to Christ.
Her husband, Dave is the Interim Pastor at the Svea-Dal Church in Brady and Linda serves alongside him, leading worship and where God leads.
They enjoy spending time together, singing, walking, gardening, reading and traveling and they are exceptionally blessed when their journey takes them to visit their Granddaughter Ellison in Illinois.
She grew up in Sycamore, Illinois and attended Judson College in Elgin, where Linda received her bachelor’s in Vocal Performance. From there she attended the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky and received her Masters in Christian Education.
Linda’s life verse is Philippians 4:4, “Rejoice in the Lord always! And again I say rejoice!” And, when driving her car with a good song on the radio… She cranks it up and sings along!
Joe Sukraw grew up on the family ranch in the Maxwell area and attended college at Mid-America Nazarene University in Olathe, Kansas.
He grew up listening to KJLT. His dad was on the Tri-State Broadcasting Board in the ministry’s early years. Joe and his wife Susan have been blessed with four children; Joshua, Ben (Jaime), Hannah and Nathan and three beautiful grandchildren; Kanaan, Judah and Saylor.
The last four decades of his life were spent in ministry with Youth for Christ and Hope Embraced. He was used by God to reach into the hearts and lives of many young people. After a brief retirement in September of 2024, Joe began work at the station early in the new year of 2025.
Joe says, “As God writes our story, our hope is to leave a legacy of ministry adventures and impactful testimony of the Power of Jesus Name! and it’s a blessing for me to be a part of the radio ministry, a ministry that I wholeheartedly believe in.”
Amy Hoehner is passionate about Jesus and loves bringing people together. She and her husband, Justin, have been in ministry at Comeca Camp and Retreat Center near Cozad, NE since 2017. Justin serves as the camp’s Executive Director, and Amy works part-time in development and programs. Their ministry journey began in Texas, where they met while working at a Christian Camp near Houston. Early in their marriage, they were called to serve at a camp in Southern California. Now they are thrilled to continue serving together in their home state of Nebraska while raising their three children, Brooklyn, Landon, and Aspen.
A lifelong lover of music and nature, Amy enjoys hiking, kayaking, leading worship at her church, and creating opportunities for people to connect with one another and with the Lord. She believes ministry can happen anywhere- around a dinner table, in a sanctuary, on a hiking trail, at a campfire, or through a song on the radio. Amy brings that same heart to her role with KJLT where she is on the air weeknights from 7 p.m. to midnight. Her hope is that every listener who tunes in feels encouraged, reminded of God’s goodness, and a little more focused on Jesus as they go about their day.
