Today on the Afternoon Drive, we strayed from our normal Praise Thursday and brought you the Lifeline Choice Challenge during an extended show.

We talked about our theme of Build Your Kingdom Here and how that relates to our mission statement: “WNZR Radio exists to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ, provide listeners with excellence in programming, build trusted relationships in the community, and advance the mission of Mount Vernon Nazarene University- shaping lives through educating the whole person and cultivating Christ-likeness for lifelong learning and service.”

John 15:8 talks about how we can glorify God by bearing fruit, and one way that we do that is by allowing Him to dwell in our hearts and build His kingdom there. As a ministry, we want the kingdom of God to be in our hearts so that we can show His kingdom to others.

Another way we can glorify God with our station is by providing our listeners with excellence in programming, which is the next part of our mission statement. We want to be able to provide with quality and family-friendly programming that encourages you toward a deeper relationship with Christ where YOU allow Him to build His kingdom in your heart.

Lastly, we want to build trusted relationships with people in the community so that we can show the love of Christ to others and build God’s kingdom in Knox County.

Our Word of the Day was parry, a verb meaning to ward off a weapon or blow, or to evade. You can read more on that here.

You can head over to wnzr.fm now to pledge for Lifeline 2016.

Have a great Thursday evening!
