He Went to That Cross!

Today’s Monday Motivation song comes from Zach Williams and ‘Heart of God.’ These lyrics remind us of the depth of God’s love and his pursuit of us!

He’s not sittin’ there shakin’ His head
Wishin’ He’d never went to that cross
He’s not sittin’ there shakin’ His head
Writin’ you off, leavin’ you lost
He’s not sittin’ there shakin’ His head
He went to that cross, He went to that cross
!

Here’s the link to Zach’s upcoming show in Newark, July 13th.

National Chocolate Chip Day!

I am super excited to hopefully go to this concert. For ticket information, make sure you visit our website wnzr.fm and click on the Events Button and then click on the Concerts Tab. Not only do you get to see the amazing Lauren Daigle, you also get free admission with a ticket purchase to the Ohio State Fair! That is a pretty good deal!

Did you know that Chocolate Chips were first marketed in 1940! The chocolate chip came AFTER the chocolate chip cookie! I had no idea that this was the case!

Blessing Offor Releases a New Track!

Hi,

Today on the show I talked about how Blessing Offor released a new track called Somebody’s Child. This song features a collaboration with Dolly Parton. This song is absolutely amazing! It is a song that reminds us that we are always loved and we are all somebody’s child!

Here is the full article: Click HERE!

Here is a synopsis of the article that I wrote:

Blessing Offor who is a two-time Dove Award winner announced recently that he has released a brand-new track called “Somebody’s Child”, which features Dolly Parton as a part of the collaboration.

Blessing Offor had this to say about his latest track, “We’re all ‘somebody’s child,’ he explains. “It’s such a simple concept, but I hope it’s the beginning of us all realizing that there’s always a point of empathy, there’s always common ground if we want to find it. And there’s no better embodiment of finding common ground, finding relatability, than Dolly Parton. I’m so honored and humbled to have her on this project.”

Dolly Parton had this to say about the collaboration with Blessing Offor, “I know it’s too easy to say it was a blessing singing with Blessing,” she says, “but it was. I love the song ‘Somebody’s Child’ and I am very proud to be a part of it.”

Blessing Offor is currently on a national tour with Lauren Daigle. They are coming to Columbus, OH on this Saturday, May 18th. They will be performing at KEMBA LIVE! concert venue.

Here is the music video for this song:

Once upon a time, you were 25
Walking up the aisle, you made the promise of your life
Blinked twice and you were 29
Singing lullabies, and I looked up at you for the first time

The correct answer is Unsung Hero by for King & Country.

Congratulations to Tanya of Butler for guessing the correct answer! She wins a $5 gift card to Watts Restaurant.
