Wells found his niche in media, combining sales and broadcasting as co-host of popular shows Cool &amp; Crazy and Matters of the Heart with Kirk Johnson. By the time he landed at Spirit Gospel &#8220;offering hope&#8221; to others, Wells had been through his own share of troubles, some of which he readily confesses were of his own making.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Two divorces,&#8221; he says, &#8220;five children, other struggles.&#8221; Those experiences, he says, deepened his faith and allowed him to relate to his audience on the popular gospel station. &#8220;Hosting the show, and more specifically, being named the best gospel personality in the industry is very exciting. &#8220;It&#8217;s a truly awesome experience. Separate from the actual recognition but more so from the perspective that I can&#8217;t believe that the Lord can use someone like me to provide inspiring words and comfort to my listeners. I am indeed humbled by the honour.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Others at the station housed on Carmichael Road shared Wells&#8217; pleasure.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Winning this award reinforces our commitment to our listeners to provide quality programming and hosting,&#8221; remarked Galen Saunders, President &amp; General Manager of Broadcast Services Ltd., parent company of Spirit Gospel and its older sibling More 94 FM. &#8220;Giles, once a secular personality, has made an indelible impact for the past three years on the spiritual market which he takes a great deal of pride representing and we&#8217;re pleased to have him on our team.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Spirit Gospel recently announced the addition of Minster Kevin Harris to its staff complement further solidifying the company&#8217;s intent of remaining a powerhouse. When asked about his future goals, he sums it up by saying, &#8220;My life is no longer my own. I&#8217;ve come to a place of no more limits and I want to fully render everything to God and allow him to take control.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Diane Phillips &amp; Associates<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On the heels of winning several awards during the 2010 DJ Awards, a local radio house, Broadcast Services Ltd., is again lauding one of its DJs, Giles Wells, for winning Best Gospel Personality as host of the morning show on Spirit Gospel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"rop_custom_images_group":[],"rop_custom_messages_group":[],"rop_publish_now":"initial","rop_publish_now_accounts":{"facebook_10223285771444175_51037792744":""},"rop_publish_now_history":[],"rop_publish_now_status":"pending","footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[55,46],"class_list":["post-7278","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-religion","tag-awards","tag-celebrities"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7278","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7278"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7278\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7278"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7278"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7278"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
