We’re one day closer to the weekend, so we’ve got plenty of reasons to praise! It’s Praise Thursday on The Afternoon Drive, so we had plenty to talk about!
We shared short testimonies, stories and reminders about trusting God in every circumstance. Even when adversity hits, we have to hold onto the fact that God alone is our hope and deliverer. When life feels like a puzzle we can’t solve, God is the one putting the pieces together.
We also shared Praise Reports and Prayer Requests for Global Week of Student Prayer. Jim Praises God for providing the help he and his wife needed to make their local food distribution efforts successful! We’re praying for families and individuals in need of help from these local pantries.
For ‘Name That Tune’, our song was ‘I’m So Blessed’ by CAIN. Congratulations to Sarah from Mount Vernon, who guessed correctly and wins the $5 gift card to Watts Restaurant in Utica!
Today for Who Knew Wednesday on The Afternoon Drive, we took a trip back in time to the origins of the Dove Awards. The rich history of the Awards show goes back all the way, originally conceptualized by gospel singer-songwriter Bill Gaither. Plus, there some interesting standards back then that qualified a song to be considered ‘gospel’. Apparently, the only qualified music was that sold in Christian Booksellers Association affiliated stores. Nowadays, the standards have changed quite a bit.
–I was born in Oakland, California on September 25, 1951
–I’m a film star, as well as a critically acclaimed voice actor
–I voiced DC supervillain The Joker in the popular “Batman: The Animated Series”
–I got my big break playing Luke Skywalker in the famous film series, “Star Wars”
I am…Mark Hamill!

We’re also lifting up the families of loved ones struggling with physical and mental health issues. We pray for God’s healing touch upon their lives.
It’s not just a story It’s a livin’, breathin’, walkin’ testimony Of a God so good, He’d leave his home in glory For the world He loved, for the world that He so loved He’s not just a story
