The Dove Awards wrapped up last Friday, and it’s safe to say a lot of artists came out of the night happy. Plenty of the performers, songwriters, producers and filmmakers received their flowers, including many of the artist we play right here on The Afternoon Drive!

For Artist Newsday and Game Time Tuesday, we broke down the big winners from the show, plus we shared prayer requests for the people affected by Hurricane Helene and for those bracing for Hurricane Milton’s landfall.

You can check out Crosswalk.com for a list of 8 prayers to pray for those facing the challenges caused by these storms: https://www.crosswalk.com/slideshows/8-prayers-for-the-states-affected-by-hurricane-helene.htmlaps=99480c114095da247fa5ac9ad1564ee86cc0f49db3d4bc7cbdafa4394b4e76a4&utm_content=702327_20241001_741&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=lst_cw_crosswalk_daily_update&utm_source=newsletter&bt_ee=pcPFJV9ef8ZWq7rJVAt8u00V10C4TJpAtswNrpXIrSspOw2wW4l6l1mZEmOS5ebI&bt_ts=1727776948964

Today’s lyrics for Song Poetry:

“Trouble knocking at my door today
I ain’t gonna let it in
And worry wanna steal my joy away
But I ain’t gonna let it win

‘Cause on my best day, I’m a child of God
On my worst day, I’m a child of God
Oh, every day is a good day
And You’re the reason why”

Congratulations to Larry from Mount Vernon for correctly guessing that the song was “I’m So Blessed” by CAIN. He wins two $5 Gift Cards to Watts Restaurant in Utica!

Thanks for listening!- Judah
