From Perry’s Pen The Lord Is My Shepherd ...................................................

Dear Dove Friend, “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

He makes me lie down in green pastures.

He leads me beside still waters.

He restores my soul.

He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.”

—Psalm 23:1–6 ESV Do you realize there are only two people involved in that conversation?

You and God! When you read these familiar words, make them personal. This is more than David’s declaration; it is an invitation to speak directly to God: “The Lord is my Shepherd.”

Let that truth encourage you today. The Lord is my (your) Shepherd.

He is with you, He restores you, He guides you—and He is enough!

Every blessing,

Perry Atkinson

Marketing Minute Hello, Wonderful People ......................................................

As summer begins to wind down, families everywhere are preparing for a new school year. Backpacks are being filled, schedules are changing, and children are stepping into new classrooms and new opportunities. Whether you are a parent, grandparent, teacher or student, we pray this school year will be filled with God’s protection, wisdom and encouragement.

Labor Day also gives us an opportunity to pause and recognize the faithful work of people throughout our communities. Here at theDove, I am especially grateful for our dedicated team and the many people who work behind the scenes to help us share hope and God’s truth every day.

September also marks an exciting new beginning for theDove! Our new television season launches September 8 with meaningful conversations, biblical teaching and encouraging programs created to inform, inspire and strengthen your faith.

We are also delighted to share that the Bend television station has officially been acquired by theDove. Its call sign has been changed to KDJA to coincide with theDove Radio station KDJA. This is an exciting step forward that strengthens our presence in Central Oregon and helps us reach even more people with uplifting, Christ-centered programming.

As we enter October, we also celebrate Pastor Appreciation Month. Pastors and ministry leaders faithfully pray, teach, counsel and care for others throughout the year. I encourage you to take a moment to thank your pastor and let them know how much their service means to you and your church family.

Finally, we would love for you to join us for the Legacy Luncheon on October 22.

It will be a special opportunity to gather, connect and celebrate the lasting impact God is making through theDove and the faithful people who support this ministry.

Thank you for your prayers, encouragement and partnership. We are grateful to have you as part of theDove family!

Sales Scoop More Than Advertising: A Season to Serve .........

As summer gives way to fall, our communities begin preparing for one of the busiest and most meaningful times of the year. Families return to routines, local events fill the calendar, and businesses begin looking ahead to the holiday season. It’s a season of preparation - but it’s also a season of opportunity.

Advertising is often viewed as a way to increase sales, and while that’s certainly important, it can be much more than that. At its best, advertising is simply communication with purpose. It’s an invitation. It’s a way to let your neighbors know you’re here, ready to serve them, and that you are invested in the community you call home.

At theDove, we believe media is one of the most powerful tools God has entrusted to us. Whether it’s a television commercial, a radio message, or a digital campaign, every message has the potential to encourage, inform, and connect people with businesses that genuinely care about them.

Scripture reminds us, “Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” — Matthew 5:16 As business leaders, we’re called to serve with excellence. Sometimes that service begins with simply letting people know who you are, what you do, and how you can help. When your message is rooted in integrity, generosity, and genuine care, advertising becomes more than a business investment - it becomes an extension of your ministry.

This fall, as you prepare for the months ahead, consider how your business can be a light in our community. Your message may be exactly what someone needs to hear.

Your invitation could open the door to a new customer, strengthen a relationship, or remind someone that hope, kindness, and excellent service still exist.

From all of us at theDove, thank you for being part of a community that values faith, service, and meaningful connection. We look forward to helping you share your story with those who need to hear it most.

Staff Spotlight Rick Carrara | Director of Engineering 1

What is the best piece of advice you have ever received?

Repent, and believe in the gospel. (Mark 1:15)

2 What is your must-have snack or drink for a long workday?

Water, lots of water.

3 How did God lead you to become part of theDove family?

After I retired from a long career in television broadcast engineering, I asked, “Lord, what do you want me to do now?”

He planted this scene in my mind: He is looking down on me and he answers, “Ricky, we built your career for 40 years. Now, you come to work for me!”

And he led me to theDove. That was eight years ago.

Thank you, Lord.

What is a funny or memorable moment you’ve experienced while working at theDove?

Every day is funny around here – in a good way!

5

Is there a particular moment or story that reminded you why theDove’s ministry matters?

Prayer requests: We literally stop what we’re doing when a prayer request pops up in our email boxes. We offer up a prayer right then and there.

It means a lot when we hear back from folks who have sent in their prayer requests – telling us that the prayers were answered.

What is your most-used phrase or expression?

Index finger pointing upward: “He’s Got This!”

Daily Devotionals

Experiencing God’s Presence Each Day “My Presence will go with you.” Exodus 33:14 NKJV Nicholas Herman was a cook in a monastery. He worried about whether or not he was truly saved. One day while looking at a tree, he realized the truth of the Psalmist’s words—that it had to be rooted in something other and deeper than itself (see Psalm 1:1-3).

That day, he decided to make his life an experiment in what he called a “habitual, silent, secret conversation of the soul with God.” He’s known today by the new name given to him by his friends: Brother Lawrence. He remained obscure throughout his life and spent the rest of his days in the monastery kitchen. But the people around him found that rivers of living water flowed out of him that made them want to know God the way he did.

“The good brother found God everywhere,” one of them wrote, “as much while he was repairing shoes as while he was praying with the community.”

After Brother Lawrence died, his friends put together a book of his letters and conversations. It is called The Practice of the Presence of God, and it is thought to be one of the most widely read books of the last four centuries. This shortorder cook has outsold many popular contemporary novelists, and his book is still on best-seller lists.

Brother Lawrence said: “The most holy and necessary practice in our spiritual life is the presence of God. That means finding constant pleasure in His divine company, speaking humbly and lovingly with Him in all seasons, at every moment, without limiting the conversation in any way.”

Fun Facts / Did you Know?

The Mayflower The Mayflower set sail from Plymouth, England, on September 6, 1620 (September 16 on the calendar we use today) with 102 passengers aboard.

After a difficult 66-day journey, the ship reached Cape Cod, far north of its intended destination in Virginia.

Did You Know...

Each fall, a special “super generation” of monarch butterflies travels as far as 3,000 miles to its winter home—even though none has made the journey before. These remarkable monarchs can live up to eight months, about eight times longer than the generations born earlier in the summer!

Joke: Why did the tree look forward to fall?

It was ready to turn over a new leaf!

Caring for Those Who Care for Us Pastor Appreciation Month reminds us to see, and support, the person behind the pulpit.

We often see our pastors on Sunday morning, but much of their ministry happens when no one else is watching. Pastors pray, prepare, counsel, lead and walk alongside people through life’s most meaningful and difficult moments. They carry the joys and burdens of their congregations, often long after the Sunday service has ended.

Recent research offers reasons for both encouragement and concern.

Barna’s 2026 research, conducted through its State of the Church initiative in partnership with Gloo, found that pastoral exhaustion has declined and confidence in their calling has largely rebounded. However, only 52 percent of pastors say they are “very satisfied” with their vocation, compared with 72 percent in 2015.

When asked where they need the most help, 52 percent of pastors identified their mental and physical health, 41 percent named close and supportive relationships, and 36 percent pointed to financial stability.

More than two in five pastors say they often feel isolated, and only one in three has someone outside the church in whom they can truly confide.

These findings remind us that appreciation should be more than a kind word once a year. Pastors say some of the most helpful forms of support, extended rest, sharing responsibilities and adjusting their workload, are also the hardest to access.

Meaningful Ways to Show Appreciation Ask, don’t assume. Ask your pastor what would genuinely encourage or refresh them. It might be time away, a meal, help with a project or simply knowing someone is listening.

Make it personal. Write a note describing a specific sermon, prayer or act of kindness that made a difference in your life.

Help create margin. Provide a meal, childcare, a gift card or another thoughtful gesture that gives your pastor and family time to rest together. /2 2 /

Studio Insider / September-October 2026

www.thedove.us Share the load. Volunteer, follow through on commitments and look for practical ways to make ministry a shared responsibility.

Honor healthy boundaries. Respect days off, vacation time and family time. Encourage your church to make genuine rest and periodic sabbaticals possible.

Remember the family. A pastor’s spouse and children often make unseen sacrifices. Include them in your expressions of gratitude.

Pray - and tell them you are praying. Ask how you can pray specifically and continue praying throughout the year.

Behind every sermon is a person who also needs prayer, friendship, rest and encouragement. This October, let’s do more than thank our pastors: let’s help care for them as faithfully as they care for us.

“Esteem them very highly in love because of their work.”

—1 Thessalonians 5:13 ESV Research source: Barna’s 2026 State of the Church initiative, produced in partnership with Gloo.

Moments of Reflection Rooted Through Every Season

As September gives way to October, the changing landscape reminds us that no season lasts forever. The air grows cooler, daylight becomes shorter, and once-green leaves begin turning brilliant shades of gold, orange and red. Yet while we notice what is changing above the ground, something important remains hidden beneath it—the roots.

Our lives have seasons too. Some are filled with new beginnings and visible growth. Others bring uncertainty, loss or changes we did not expect. During these times, it can be tempting to focus only on what we see happening around us.

But God often does His deepest “Blessed is the man who trusts work in the unseen places, in the Lord, whose trust is the strengthening our faith through Lord. He is like a tree planted prayer, His Word, obedience and by water….” Jeremiah 17:7–8 the encouragement of others.

Jeremiah describes the person who trusts in the Lord as a tree planted beside the water. When difficult seasons come, that tree does not need to be afraid because its roots remain connected to a life-giving source.

As routines become busy again and another year moves toward its final months, perhaps the most important question is not, “How can I control this season?” but “Where are my roots?”

When our peace depends on circumstances, it changes as quickly as autumn leaves. But when we are rooted in Christ, His grace steadies us.

He may use a changing season to deepen our trust, remove distractions or prepare us to bear new fruit.

This fall, may we return to God’s Word, make room for quiet prayer and encourage the people He has placed around us. Seasons will continue to change, but our faithful God never will. Rooted in Him, we can keep growing in grace and sharing hope wherever He has planted us.
