Today on The Afternoon Drive, we heard our conversation with Darren Mulligan and Ethan Hershberger about The Hope Nights Tour, featuring Danny Gokey, We Are Messengers, and special guest Jon Reddick!

Darren gives us some insight on why the tour was given the name “Hope Nights”, and what his heart posture is for these concerts. He also shares what hope means to him, as well as the importance of Christian radio and hearing songs that point to hope through the airwaves.

Listen to the full conversation on our SoundCloud here:

The Hope Nights Tour with Danny Gokey, We Are Messengers, and Jon Reddick will be stopping in Archbold, Ohio, at the Archbold Evangelical Church, this Friday, March 13th, with General Admission Doors opening at 6:15pm!

Today on Game Time Tuesday, we played Song Poetry!

Here were this week’s lyrics:

I’ve crawled through the valley and the shadow of death
And somehow I walked out alive
I’ve run from my Father, I’ve run back again
Time after time after time

This week’s Song Poetry was from Have Your Way by Katy Nichole!

Congratulations to Trevor from Saint Louisville for calling in and being the first to correctly guess the song title and artist for these lyrics, taking home a $5 gift card to Watts Restaurant in Utica!

Thank you for listening!
