Brandon Lake swept the night, taking home 4 awards! In accepting Artist of the Year, he shared a little about what this experience has meant to him–
“I’m so grateful to be a part of this community. During COVID, what was really beautiful is, the song ‘Gratitude’ says, ‘You’ve got a lion inside your lungs.’ Thousands of people were sending me messages of people that were in the hospital and the world would say, you’ve got death in your lungs, and they would say, no, you’ve got the Lion of the tribe of Judah in your lungs. Get up and praise the Lord!”
Blessing Offor took home “Pop/Contemporary Recorded Song of the Year” for his hit “Brighter Days.” Here are his comments about the meaning behind that song–
“Brighter days aren’t here yet, but they are going to be. There are going to be brighter days. It’s a waiting song; I always want to emphasize that to people. It’s not a song about things being perfect. It’s a song about holding out hope and believing that they will get better. That is the best truth you can ever share with anybody. They don’t have to be perfect now for you to know that it’s coming.”

In the first show back from Fall Break, Mike and Abby shared updates and highlights from the break, as well as talking about how they were able to rest, which was much needed!
Mike shared Matthew 11:28-30, “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” He shared that no matter how heavy your life is right now, God is already bearing that burden with you.
Abby shared a devotional about facing daily tasks and buisiness, and how God will always be with you in the midst of them. You can find the devotional here! https://odb.org/2023/10/19/first-on-the-list

Hi!
Today on the show I talked about how the Kiwanis Club of Mount Vernon is hosting a Coats For Kids Drive throughout the month of October. I also talked about how Alaska became a part of the United States today. Someone also had another chance to win a $5 gift card to Watts Restaurant with our Who am I? trivia question.
WNZR’s Alyssa Sidle talked with Lisa Lloyd, Program Director for the Knox County Foundation and Kiwanis Member about the club’s annual Coats for Kids Collection. You can access the full conversation below.
The Kiwanis Club of Mount Vernon is excited to partner again with Gault’s Plaza Cleaners for the drive. During the month of October, gently used coats will be collected at various locations throughout Knox County. The coats will be cleaned by Gault’s Plaza Cleaners then taken to Interchurch Social Services and the Salvation Army to be distributed to children in need before winter arrives. There are 29 different partner locations in Knox County accepting donations through the 31st.
Interchurch and the Salvation Army are predicting that the need this year will be even greater than previous years. Salvation Army’s Captain Christine Moretz said “We have seen an increase to our food pantry and hot meal needs. It would not be surprising to see the increased need for coats as well this coming winter season.”
Carolyn Fergus, Executive Director of Interchurch Social Services agreed, adding “Our numbers have doubled since the beginning of this year. There are so many families needing help making ends meet. A warm coat at no cost will go a long way to meet their needs.”
Kiwanis is dedicated to improving the world one child and one community at a time.
Since 1987 there have been 19,226 coats donated, cleaned, and distributed through Coats for Kids.
