Artist Newsday Game Time Tuesday 9/4

Today for ANDTT, we had a blast giving you all the information about our favorite artists and giving you chances to win!
We played a new game today on the Drive!
WHAT!?! Yes!!! A new game!
We tested the waters with a new game called “Looping Around”.

How do we play?
We take a clip of a song that we play on the station, and we loop a measure or two of it!
And we asked you to name the song (JUST THE SONG) from the looped section.

Today’s ‘Looping Around’ song was “Hold Me” from Jamie Grace ft. TobyMac!

Congratulations to our inaugural winner of ‘Looping Around’…
Robin of Fredericktown!

Our other game we played today was an old favorite, Song Poetry.
The song was “Your Love Defends Me” from Matt Maher! The lyrics?
“You are my joy, You are my song
You are the well, the One I’m drawing from
You are my refuge, my whole life long
Where else would I go?”

Congratulations to Maude from Mt. Vernon for guessing correctly!

Our Troyer’s certificates aren’t the only thing we gave away today! We also gave away tickets to the upcoming MTVArts productions of Annie Kids and Annie Jr.
Congratulations to Keven for being caller #3 and winning those tickets!
To learn more about MTVArts upcoming productions, click here!

Of course, it’s Artist Newsday, where we give you all the latest artist news!
Jeremy Camp posted a picture on Instagram last week with the caption: “And I will trust You when it seems that there’s no hope. And I hold tight to the promise You have given. ‘Cause this I know, and I am confident.” I think that’s a promise that we all need to remember!
You can see his full post here!

We are also gearing up for Sonfest 2018, with headliner Lecrae!
Lecrae is actually already on tour, and he’s gearing up to come visit us! He posted about his tour excitement on Twitter! Check out his post here!
His next stop is Kansas City on September 21st right before he comes to see us in Mt. V!
You can learn more about his tour dates here and more about Sonfest here!

Thanks for listening!

Mystery Monday

Today, me, Malisa and Joe, changed some things up a little bit on mystery Monday! We have decided that we are going to do a mystery question for the first 3 weeks of the month and then, on the last Monday of the month,  do our mystery box show!

Our Mystery Question today was: 100 people were surveyed, and we want you to give the top two answer to this question… “Name a plant people might grow themselves.”

Answer: Tomatoes (33) and the flowers/roses (31)

Followed apples (14), zucchini (7), plums (7).

Congratulation to Abigail from Mount Vernon for guessing the correct top two answers to our mystery questions! She won a $5 gift card to Troyer’s of Apple Vally.

We also gave away two tickets to one of the Annie productions by MTVarts! Congrats to Karolyn from Gambier who was our caller number 5. If you want more information about this production click HERE.

Praise Thursday

Lilly and I started a new section of the devotional by James Banks called “Let’s Pray”.

Today we prefaced for the prayers we are going to share next time about everyday prayers.

Here what we said:
Sometimes we rush into heavens throne room with a list. Though God’s word encourages us to “come boldly unto the throne of our gracious God”, there are moments when I wonder if I’m a little too bold. When my mind is filled with the things of this earth, I can only imagine what it looks like in heaven…
Imagine the father, seated on the throne and ruling in glory, “high and exalted.’ Around his throne, our seraphs, Hiding their faces and in worship before the awesome wonder of the ancient of days.  And like a child bursting in without knocking, here I come, making all of my wants and wishes known.
Rough as that picture is, there still a grace-filled beauty to it. I am a child, a child of the father saved by faith in his crucified son. I can come boldly and entirely without fear because God is “Abba, father “. He knows my daily needs and cares deeply about them. It’s not priority he’s concerned about but it’s the condition of my heart. And the more my heart matures, the more it will be in rhythm with his own. God wants us to grow and “mature’ in our understanding of what it means to have a relationship with him.
Andrew Murray explains, the little boy may ask of the father only what it needs for itself; and yet it soon learn is to say, “give it some for my sister too.’ But the grown-up  Son, who only gives for the father’s interest and takes charge of the fathers business, asks more largely and gets all of that is asked.
Prayers about everyday needs, help us maintain perspective. They are not only about things necessary for life on earth – they’re also about our deepest need:  A growing relationship with our father in heaven. Jesus makes this priority for our living and asking very clear: “seek the kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.” God wants us to bring our every day needs to him with faith and expectation so that we will live in loving dependence on him and you know the blessing of being caught up in his purposes. He is the “author of life”,  and we exist for him and because of him. And his kindness, he wants to bless us and drop us near with love that gives life to our souls. There is no blessing greater than God.
