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:

As perfect people. Today, I was teaching about servant leadership and we started talking about the leadership habits of Jesus from the book, “Lead Like Jesus…” They are:
solitude
prayer
study and application of scripture
accepting and responding to God’s unconditional love
involvement in supportive relationships
…as we talked and discussed the decision to accept and embrace God’s love, I was reminded of this song by Natalie Grant…

Find yourself struggling to find new tunes? That’s what we’re here for!
It’s Artist Newsday and Game Time Tuesday here on The Afternoon Drive, and we’ve got a lot of new music to cover!
Terrian has a new single from her debut album! “He Sees You” is the latest track from the Memphis, Tennessee songwriter, and we’re loving it here at WNZR!
We’ve already got something to look forward to for the summer! Stars Go Dim has announced their upcoming album ‘Roses” releases July 11! Front man Chris Cleveland spoke about the inspiration behind the album, stating: ” “I’m using roses as imagery around this whole album to signify this idea that God is working in unexpected places. You see roses growing from things you wouldn’t expect to see them grow from. I think so many times in life we feel like we’re living in a wasteland, and we’re missing the fact that we’re actually standing in forests of green, lush life…if we just slow down, if we just take a look around, if we just say, ‘God, how can I meet You here?’ we’d see that God is moving and working all the time. That’s what Roses is about.”
Following 15 years of incredible work, Michael Tait is stepping away from Newsboys. You can check out the full story HERE!
“If you only knew the treasure that you really are If you could understand the measure of the Father’s heart He loves you, He loves you, He loves you Fall in His arms and let Him wash you clean He’ll tear off the chains so that you can be free A new life begins and the old is redeemed”
That’s from Jeremy Camp’s “Getting Started”! Congratulations to Jonathan from Mount Vernon for correctly guessing the song! He wins the $5 Watts Restaurant Gift Card!
Today’s Monday Motivation songs include Hope Darst’s ‘Peace Be Still,’ which includes the lyric, “peace over me.”
Hope says part of this inspiration came from her co-writer, Mia Fieldes, who was going through a life moment where she felt things were falling apart. Hope shares, “Her (Mia’s) vulnerability opened the door for me to share the anxiety and fear I was feeling in that same season. Neither of us felt peaceful that day, but we knew God promises us peace. So we chose to prophetically sing God’s promise of peace over our lives, our hearts, and our minds that day.”
