You’re making me new!

Today’s Monday Motivation comes from Royal Tailor (Tauren Wells’ former band) and Making Me New

Tauren says the band name came from two ideas: ‘Royal’ speaks of the truth that we are all valuable in God’s eyes, and a ‘Tailor’ is one who fixes, mends and aids something (or someone) in need. So, “Royal Tailor” is a reminder that since we belong to Jesus, we are royalty, but are called to serve others!

Enjoy this throwback for Monday Motivation!

The praise that comes from freedom

We start today with a simple praise – God, thank you for allowing me the opportunity to live in a nation where I can cast my vote and where I have a choice! We are blessed!

Then a prayer – Lord, help me to view this week from YOUR perspective. You’re on the throne, and your word still commands us to show proper respect to everyone, to love the family of believers, to fear you, and honor our leaders. Help me to rise above how someone voted, and love them because they are my brother or sister in Christ. To love them like you love us.

Here’s a song we played today that I absolutely love – and is PERFECT for this week! ‘Made Me Glad’ from Darlene Zschech and Hillsong.

This week, Bonnie from Mount Vernon guessed our stumper – ‘Heart of God’ from Zach Williams – she wins two $5 gift cards to Watts Restaurant in Utica.

Today’s winner was Linda from Fredericktown!

Thanks for listening,

The Rock on Which I Stand

Cody Carnes’ ‘Firm Foundation’ is our Monday Motivation song today.

Here’s what Cody shared about the inspiration behind the song: “In such a shaky season, it was burning in my heart to write a song that declared what Jesus teaches us in Matthew 7. It says, Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. The world can be in chaos all outside our windows, but when we build our house on Jesus, we can have confidence knowing that our foundation is secure. We’re not going down! This song celebrates that truth. It was me singing my way out of fear by declaring a truth! I pray it blesses you.”

He Is Faithful!

Time and time again, He proves that He IS faithful. It’s Praise Thursday on The Afternoon Drive, and today we shared stories of times when God has worked through our lives! We’d love to hear yours! You can tell us your story right here!:https://www.facebook.com/photo/ fbid=1094717099321751&set=a.392606606199474

I have a pretty cool example of seeing God work in people’s lives. One time, I saw a woman go up to a young lady in Walmart, a total stranger, and tell her about Jesus. As simple as it seemed, seeing that left a huge impression on me. Why are we as Christians sometimes afraid of sharing our faith? Because it’s SCARY. But this incredible woman is the perfect example of the boldness we need to gain in our own faith.

Today’s track for name that tune was ‘Heart of God’ by Zach Williams. Congratulations to Sarah from Mount Vernon for naming the tune! She wins a $5 Gift Card to Watts Restaurant in Utica!

And I’m tired and all alone
It seems like I’ve lost my way”

You’ve got me on the edge!

TobyMac and Cochren and Co. teamed up in 2019 for what I like to call a great ‘driving song…’ Edge of My Seat. But this song is less about driving and more about, as Toby shares, posture.

He shares, “This song is about posture and the way we take our days on. You can either sit back – arms crossed, eyes rolled – wondering what this day is going to hold, but you’re sort of jaded to it.

Or there’s the other posture which is out on the edge of your seat where you’re wide-eyed in wonder of what God is going to do with that day. You’re hoping. There’s anticipation. You’re on the edge of your seat, and your posture is different – like a child thinking ‘whatcha gonna do with this day, Lord? Let’s go.'”
