In times of trouble and turmoil&hellip;the late Presbyterian Minister and Children&rsquo;s television pioneer, Mr. Fred Rogers, always said to &ldquo;look for the helpers&rdquo;. 
As it turns out&hellip;Mr. Rogers was right. 
When bad things happen&hellip;the best people come to the rescue. 
Anyone can be a helper&hellip;especially a musician. 
The global pandemic in 2020 was the epitome of &ldquo;bad times&rdquo; but out of those uncertain times the helpers emerged&hellip;from doctors to pharmacists&hellip;to &ldquo;essential workers&rdquo; at grocery stores&hellip;helpers who became &ldquo;heroes without capes&rdquo;&hellip;rose to the occasion from all walks of life. 
One such &ldquo;hero without a cape&rdquo; is musician Robby Robinson. 
Prior to the &ldquo;pandemic lockdowns&rdquo; Robby led a weekly &ldquo;jam session&rdquo; at Trinity Lutheran Church in Simi Valley, CA. 
When in-person church activities were forced to close&hellip;Music Minister, Robby Robinson, pooled his tremendous talents&hellip;as the long-time music director for Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons&hellip;and took a local church jam session to exciting new heights&hellip;becoming a lifeline for people who were stuck at home.
On a wing and a prayer&hellip;with the blessing of his Pastor Robert Lyon Barker&hellip; &ldquo;Jam&rsquo; n Java&rdquo; was born online as a global celebration of music, faith, family, friendship and love. 
&ldquo;Jam&rsquo; n Java&rdquo; quickly grew into an online &ldquo;Family of Friends&rdquo; around the world affectionately known as the &ldquo;Jammers&rdquo;. The ability to interact with Robby and each other in the live comments connected people in an unexpected way. 
Jam&rsquo; n Java became the virtual online hug every heart and soul needed. 
&ldquo;Jam&rsquo; n Java&rdquo; gave humans, who were facing an unknown situation, a glimmer of faith and hope. 
The social interaction between Robby and the Jammers was precisely what hearts and souls needed to carry on. &ldquo;Jam&rsquo; n Java&rdquo; uplifted minds and souls and had a positive impact on mental, emotional, and spiritual health&hellip;which ultimately affects physical well-being.
Music in and of itself is &ldquo;medicine&rdquo; and emerging research is finally showing what we have known all along&hellip;music heals!
&ldquo;Jam&rsquo; n Java&rdquo; became medicine for the mind, heart and soul.
The healing properties of music&hellip;combined with faith in Jesus&hellip;and the heart and soul of actual humans&hellip;was exactly what the doctor ordered&hellip;a virtual prescription for healing. 
Till this day&hellip;&rdquo;Jam&rsquo; n Java&rdquo; has remained one of the most wholesome, inspiring and entertaining shows on the internet&hellip;thanks to genre-defying music, special guests from music, sports and pop culture&hellip;and most importantly &ldquo;faith&rdquo;&hellip;thanks to the show&rsquo;s resident chaplain, #1 Best-Selling Christian Author and Pastor Chuck &ldquo;C.W&rdquo; Pearson. 
There is truly no better use of one&rsquo;s talents than to make our world a better place. Nobody has done this better than Robby Robinson and his loyal &ldquo;Jammers&rdquo;.
Out of a global pandemic&hellip;a beautiful oasis of peace, love, music, faith and friends who became &ldquo;family&rdquo; was born. 
Could there possibly be any greater gift?
The heart and soul of &ldquo;Jam&rsquo; n Java&rdquo; is the Jammers. And you can be part of it too.
Stop by online and discover the power of &ldquo;Jam&rsquo; n Java&rdquo;. 
&ldquo;This Monday night, May 11, 2026 - we celebrate SIX amazing years of Jam&rsquo; n Java. What began on May 11, 2020&hellip;during the middle of the pandemic&hellip; simply as a way to connect through music and friendship&hellip; has grown into one incredible community of music lovers, storytellers, and faithful Monday night friends we proudly call&hellip;Jammers.&rdquo;, said Jam&rsquo; n Java host and producer, Robby Robinson. &ldquo;Over the past six years we&rsquo;ve shared music, laughter, memories, behind-the-scenes stories, legendary guests, prayer, encouragement, and countless special moments together. And for this special anniversary show&hellip; I&rsquo;m bringing back the very first guest ever featured on Jam&rsquo; n Java back on that first broadcast in 2020&hellip;Tony Galla! We&rsquo;ll celebrate the journey, relive some wonderful memories, and thank the GREATEST online audience ANYWHERE for six unforgettable years. To all the Jammers&hellip;THANK YOU for being part of this journey. Jam&rsquo; n Java simply would not exist without you. Here&rsquo;s to many more Monday nights together!&rdquo;
