Happy Valentine’s Day from all of us here at WNZR! I hope your Valentine’s Day has been amazing so far!
Today on the show I talked about different things that are associated with Valentine’s Day such as how much we spend on this Valentine’s Day, how many roses are made each year, how many cards are exchanged each year, and I gave a breakdown on where our money gets spent on specific gifts for Valentine’s Day. I also shared some Bible verses that are associated with love. Also, we had our weekly Who am I? trivia question where one lucky person has a chance to win a $5 gift card to Watts Restaurant.
Here are some different facts about Valentine’s Day that I featured on today’s show:
The Meaning of Love in The Bible
In the Bible, love is the essence of God’s character and the defining quality of his selfless, life-giving relationship with humanity. The biblical authors display the meaning of love through stories, poetry, and discourse. Hebrew words such as khesed (loyal love) and ahavah (affectionate, caring love) teach us about specific qualities essential to the concept of real love. And Greek terms such as agápe (divine love) and philia (familial love) emphasize the unique ways that God, friends, family, partners, and enemies can love one another. Beyond specific terms, the overarching story of the Bible ultimately describes love as the act of putting others before oneself—serving the interest and well-being of another.
The Love of God According to the Bible
The love of God can describe God’s love for humanity or humanity’s love for God. The biblical authors show us how God’s love for humanity is selfless, just, and unbreakable. They also show how God acts in love toward people, and how people respond to God’s love, while inviting readers to love God with everything they’ve got.

For today’s Praise Thursday, Mike and Abby shared Scripture and encouragement in looking forward to Valentine’s Day!
Abby talked about Romans 12:9-10— “Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil, hold fast to what is good. Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor.” This verse has a focus on how we can treat other people like they are family, and care for them as such. Valentine’s Day does not just have to be about spending time with your significant other– it can also be a time to focus on how we treat others and how we can show them some love!
Mike went through 1 Corinthians 13:4, which outlines the biblical definition of love– “Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant,” which can be difficult to put into practice. Let us be intentional in our actions of love, humbling ourselves towards those around us and also being patient with ourselves.

Did you know that in 1961 is when the popular hot chocolate company Swiss Miss started manufacturing its powdered hot chocolate? I had no idea. I love hot chocolate! Especially when you have to sit outside for either a sporting event. I even like it in the comfort of my own home when it is cold outside.

Today on the show I talked about how today is National Peanut Butter Day. I also had an interview with Russ Lee from Newsong who is a part of the Winter Jam 2024 lineup. We also had our weekly Who am I? trivia question where one person has a chance to win a $5 gift card to Watts Restaurant.
Did you know out of 1,000 people surveyed that 72% which is nearly three-quarters of the people surveyed, like smooth peanut butter over chunky peanut butter? I had no idea. Also, 35% of men are far more likely to pick chunky peanut butter; as opposed to women who only choose it 28% of the time. I just thought both of these things were interesting.
For today’s Praise Thursday, Mike shared Galatians 1:23-24, which emphasized the miraculous change in Paul’s life– “He who used to persecute us is now preaching the faith he once tried to destroy.” Through this miracle worked in him, God was glorified. Mike explained how the goal of our lives should be to glorify Him through our own stories.
Abby talked about the passage that MVNU’s new VP of Spiritual life, Rev. Dave Mills, shared in Monday’s chapel service. 1 Corinthians 12:17-20 asks, “If all were a single member, where would the body be? As it is, there are many parts, yet one body.” Everyone has a special place and purpose within God’s community, and we all work together to make the entire body function!
