Born into a large family of seven kids and raised in Southern California, Neil Saavedra started his career in radio in January of 1990 when he discovered he couldn't shut up. Armed with a desire to defend truth and his varied studies of logic, theology, philosophy and religion Neil embarked on his first radio show. Answers with Shield of Faith, a one-hour question and answer program, teamed Neil up with partner Bobby Lownsdale on Ventura's premiere Christian radio station, KDAR 98.3 FM.
Throughout the early 90's, Neil continued to answer people's tough questions dealing with God and religion. In addition to bringing Answers with Shield of Faith to other Christian stations in the south land like KKLA 99.5 FM and KBRT 740 AM, Neil was a frequent guest on several other radio programs including the Greg Koukl show and Duffy and company.
Neil came to KFI AM 640 in March 1994 as an intern and has never been happier. Currently Neil produces the Jesus Christ show every Sunday. The Jesus Christ show is interactive radio theater designed to help Christians and non-Christians alike learn more about the historical person of Jesus.
