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,
Joe

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!

Miracles In Everyday Life!

Once again, it’s Praise Thursday on The Afternoon Drive! Miracles can happen in everyday life, and we talked about them!

We shared the story of a close friend miraculously being saved from a truck colliding into her while spinning out on black ice. Not only that, when she found a woman having an asthma attack in a car stuck in front of her, an EMT in a red sports car happened to drive by…stopping and helping them! Absolutely crazy…but a total miracle only by God’s grace!

Verse of the day: Psalm 20:7 “Some trust in chariots, and some in horses; But we will remember the name of the Lord our God.”

Put your trust in the eternal God, not the things of this world.

Today’s track was a MercyMe classic, with “I Can Only Imagine”. Congratulations to Julie from Frazeysburg for naming the right tune…she wins the $5 Watts Restaurant Gift Card!
