Paul reminds us in I Corinthians 13 that love is at the core of the Christian faith. The list that we hear many times at weddings has so many more applications to everyday life.
Love is: patient, kind, protecting, trusting, hoping and persevering Love is not: envious, boastful, self-seeking…it does not delight in evil.
Here’s Unspoken to share more about love:

We’d be dishonest if we chose to ignore everything happening around us. There’s a lot of hurt in both our country and world, and if we’re being honest, it can be incredibly overwhelming. But that’s what we’re for here at the Lifeline. We want to uplift, inspire and encourage you that no matter, we can shine a light into dark situations.
It’s Praise Thursday on The Afternoon Drive, and today we wanted to share stories of people shining light and providing hope into the difficult situations faced by those in Los Angeles, California right now. Yes, the fires are intense, but people are stepping up and helping to make a difference.
If you’ve never head of the Jesus Loves You. Company, they’re a clothing brand spreading the message of Jesus’ love, and they’re making an effort to support LA in the midst of these wildfires. Last week for a 72 hour window, they sold some specially designed shirts representing the city of LA…and every single profit from purchases is being given to support aide and victims of the fires. Seeing a business like Jesus Loves You. provide help through creative ways is so cool to witness.
God’s Pit Crew, a disaster response ministry, is dispatching a full tractor-trailer load of Blessing Buckets to the greater Los Angeles area. The disaster relief buckets, each carefully packed with critical supplies, are intended to provide immediate assistance to those impacted by the fires.
If you’re interested in sponsoring a Blessing Bucket – which cost $35 per bucket to fill – or to support their ongoing relief efforts is encouraged to visit GodsPitCrew.org or call (434) 836-4472.

We all love music. You’d be hard pressed to find someone who doesn’t. It’s a beautiful thing when music blends incredible with words of truth and worship. And that’s exactly the kind of music we love playing for you right here on WNZR! Today for Praise Thursday on The Afternoon Drive, we decided to take a listen to the stories and inspirations behind songs of praise and worship.
From biblical truths of God unending faithfulness to the strength of a courageous mother, artists like Elevation Worship and Unsung Hero shared the inspirational and touching stories that inspired their work!
Continue praying for the people and city of Los Angeles as they face intense wild fires. Incredible teams, like God’s Pit Crew, are over in California leading the effort to fight the fires, repair damage and bring people to safety. If you would like to support God’s Pit Crew and their efforts, they are a reputable and trustworthy operation that will use your donation to help save lives. You can donate by heading to GodsPitCrew.org or calling (434) 836-4472.
Another stumper today! Next week’s Name That Tune will be worth THREE Watts Restaurant gift cards!
When we come to the end of a year and begin a new one, it becomes pretty easy to reflect on the good, and the bad, of the past year. But instead of brushing the old year off and eagerly embracing the new one, it’s important to remember how far we’ve come. Every heartbreak, every rough time, every difficult…you made it through. You still have breath in your lungs, you still have a new year, a fresh start to look forward to. God, through His amazing grace, brought you through those tough moments…and He will continue to do so.
A stumper today! Make sure to tune in next week for Name That Tune, because next week’s game will be worth TWO $5 Watts Restaurant Gift Cards!
Why is it that we get so stressed out around Christmas? Is it the tight finances, the holiday rush, trying to figure out what the heck to buy for your family, or all of the above. Honestly, it’s all that and more.
It’s Praise Thursday on The Afternoon Drive, and Christmas stress is almost always unavoidable. But maybe part of the problem is that we take our focus off of what Christmas is really about. The humble birth of a small child, in a quiet peaceful manger, destined to be savior and king of the world. Christmas is about the peace, joy and comfort of the Lord…not the buzz and business of everything else. But we lose sight of that so often. This Christmas, we need to remember what Christmas is really about, the light of the word: JESUS!
It’s the last day of the WNZR Christmas Gift Exchange! Congratulations to Brad from Mount Vernon and Mary from Fredericktown, they were our last two winners for the season! Tune in to The Morning Thing tomorrow at 7:30, we’ll be announcing our SEVEN grand prize winners!
Today’s track was ‘Mary Did You Know’ by Jason Crabb. Congratulations to Charla from Utica for naming the right tune! She wins the $5 Gift Card to Watts Restaurant in Utica!
Maybe it’s the lights, maybe it’s the fresh blanket of now…or maybe it’s the love of Christ!
It’s Praise Thursday on the Afternoon Drive, and we just had to talk about this…Christmas time really seems to bring put kindness and joy out of most people, and sometimes we see moments of God’s incredible love and kindness shining through people. One moment I saw as a kid was when my dad gave a whole pizza he had bought for our family to a homeless man during Christmas time. What’s yours?
Today’s tune was “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen” by Downhere. Congratulations to Caitlin from Mount Vernon for naming the right track! She wins the $5 Gift Card to Watts Restaurant in Utica!
Today’s show on The Afternoon Drive was a bit different. Our very own Marcy Rinehart was next door at the Knox County Career Center’s Open House. The day was full of fun, treats and dunk tanks! We got the opportunity to hear from Principle Jim Riggle, Lab Director Chad Fisher, Student Carson Ross and more!
