It’s Praise Thursday on The Afternoon Drive, and we had a ton of fun on the show today!
We shared encouragement to pick up your bible and get in the word again, because we need that encouragement just as much as you do!
We also gave away tickets to Tim Hawkins’ comedy routine March 22nd on the campus of MVNU! Congratulations to Doug Litteral for making me (Judah) laugh! He wins two VIP tickets to Hawkins’ 7pm show!
Marissa is going to see Tauren Wells this summer at the Ohio Sate Fair Summer Concert Series! She played Beat The Box Office and correctly named the track “Take It All Back” by Tauren!
This week’s track was another stumper. Call in next week for your chance to win TWO $5 Watts Restaurant Gift Card!
You’ve heard it before. I know, I know, it’s extremely cliché. But life is hard. Sometimes, its really hard. When it gets hard, what do we do? To be completely honest, I haven’t quite figured that part out. But what I have figured out is that when things feel overwhelming, the one place to turn where peace is always guaranteed is.
It’s Praise Thursday here on The Afternoon Drive, and if life has you down lately, you definitely aren’t alone. I’ve found it draining just getting through the week. But thankfully, we have a source that is the ultimate provider of joy:
“Do not grieve, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.” Nehemiah 8:10 (NIV)
When you feel overwhelmed with worry, anxiety or just exhaustion, remember that the source of true strength is not found in yourself, but in the Lord.
We also had some fun sharing weird, but very true facts, including Neil Armstrong selling his hair for $3,000. Wish I could sell mine for that much…
Today’s track was “Never Get Used To This” by Forrest Frank and JVKE. Congrats to Terry from Mount Vernon for naming the right tune. Since last week’s was a stumper, he wins TWO $5 Watts Restaurant Gift Cards!
Sometimes, when we expect God to show up…He doesn’t. But just not in the way we thought He would. Oftentimes we think God is going to work things the way we want them. Yet time and time again, we see things work out in completely unexpected ways…that sometimes are so much better than we could have every originally imagined!
It’s Praise Thursday on The Afternoon Drive, and today we got to share about God showing up in the most unexpected places, whether that be in our own lives or the lives of others.
No matter where you are in life, remember that God will always be with you, and will not forget you.
Deuteronomy 31:8: The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.

There’s a lot happening in our MVNU community, and we need your prayers!
It’s Praise Thursday here on The Afternoon Drive, and while we have plenty of prayer requests, we also have plenty of reasons to praise the Lord!
One of our most immediate prayer requests has to do with one of our very own MVNU students. Will Meyers and his girlfriend were involved in a serious car accident this past Sunday, and while they sustained some injuries, we are praising God for their recoveries. Both are doing tremendously better! Continue to pray for recovery, especially as Will heads into surgery tomorrow!
If you have a praise or prayer request of your own, give us a call at 740-397-9697!

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:
Our winners today include (4pm) Paul from Mount Vernon, who won a $10 gift card to Buffalo Wild Wings. (5pm) Cynthia from Walhonding won two certificates from Pizza Hut of Mount Vernon!
Praise the Lord, because it is indeed almost Friday! In fact, it’s actually Praise Thursday on The Afternoon Drive!
We shared praise and prayer reports all throughout the show, including prayers for our nation and nations across the world. We pray for peace and wisdom for leaders, as well as unity.

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 also spoke to Winter Jam 2025 Artists Colton Dixon! You can check out the full conversation here!:
We gave away the last of our Winter Jam 2025 tickets! Congratulations to Helen from Mount Vernon! She’s going to Winter Jam 2025 free of charge!

Another day, another Praise Thursday on the Afternoon Drive. We shared some important prayer requests that we ask you to pray for right now, including praying for sick members of our staff!
We also ask prayer for Bob Tocheff and his wife Diana, both incredible members of our MVNU community. Bob is currently hospitalized and facing some serious health issues. Continue to pray for Bob and Diana in this situation.
Continue to pray for everyone in Los Angeles facing the wildfires, and the courageous people working tirelessly to put out these horrible fires.
We also got to play some new music in the 5 o’clock hour, with Katy Nichole’s “When I Fall” Check out the music video!
A stumper again! Next week’s Name That Tune contest will be worth THREE Watts Restaurant gift cards!!
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.
