TobyMac Releases A Brand New Single!

Hi!

Today on the show I talked about how TobyMac recently released his new single titled, “Nothin’ Sweeter.” This song is upbeat and really shares a great message!

Here is what I shared on the show:

TobyMac recently released his brand new single titled, “Nothin’ Sweeter.” TobyMac has been one of the legends in the Christian music industry earning seven GRAMMY Awards throughout his decorated career. His new single will be debuting on WNZR on Friday’s Morning Thing.

Here is what TobyMac said about his new song. “I’ve had some of the most amazing times that one could ever have on this earth, and I’ve also walked through some things that have hit me very hard,” he says about the song. “I don’t think we’re that different from one another in that we all experience some beauty and some things that leave us utterly confused and deeply hurting. I wrote “Nothin’ Sweeter’ because I have been uptown and downtown; I have seen the good of this life and the sorrow by the bitter graveside; and I’ve landed on this: there is nothin’ sweeter in this life than the love of God. It’s what I want to wake up to and what I go to bed to – there’s nothin’ sweeter than His unfailing love.”

Here is the lyric video for this song:

I don’t need the money
I don’t want the fame
I don’t want what I can’t take
With me in the grave

We had a stumper this week, so make sure you tune in next week for a chance to win TWO $5 gift cards to Watts Restaurant.

Thanks for listening!

Honestly, We Just Need Jesus!

Hi!

Today’s Monday Motivation song comes from Terrian and her song Honestly, We Just Need Jesus. These lyrics remind us that we need Jesus now more than ever and we need to keep the jaded spirit out of our lives.

Take a good long look in the mirror
Search my heart and soul, make it clearer
Help me take your love, trade the bitter
Leave it in the dust, help me leave it in the dust, Lord

Honestly, I think we just need Jesus
Honestly, I think we just need Jesus
Have we all gone mad? Have we lost our minds?
What used to be wrong, we say that it’s right
Honestly, I think we just need Jesus

Name a sound you might hear outside.

  1. Traffic (45)
  2. Birds (22)
  3. Sirens (16)
  4. Power tools (11)
  5. Voices or kids playing or music (6)

The Wisdom from Above

Are you in the market for some wisdom? Some advice leading to good judgment? The Word of God is a great place to start:

“The wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without a trace of partiality or hypocrisy.” – James 3:17 (KJV)

Other translations of this verse include the adjectives, “considerate, submissive, impartial, sincere.” Today we shared a prayer from authors Christine Dallman and Randy Petersen:

‘”I’ve had enough of worldly wisdom, dear Lord, from so-called sages who tell me that money buys happiness and success brings friends. They say I should put myself first, indulging my desires and ignoring others. This, I’m told, is the path to fulfillment. But that can’t be right, can it?
Lord, I ask for an extra helping of your ‘wisdom from above.’ Show me how to treat others with gentle love. Teach me to deal peaceably with the challenges in my life. Help me be fruitful and merciful. Erase the petty prejudices that keep me from appreciating your other children. Let me yield fully to your perfect wisdom and set aside the tame truisms of this world.”

Dylan shared a devotional from Our Daily Bread called ‘Words Reflect Our Heart.’ Read more here!

We had a stumper this week! A couple of hints: it was a song we played in the 4pm hour, a song that samples part of a classic hymn and part of the hymn title is in the title of this song.

Thanks for listening!

Special Olympics and Sherlock Holmes!

Hi!

Today on the show I talked with Talisha Beha who is the Integration and Family Engagement Coordinator for the Knox County Board of Developmental Disabilities. She will be talking about the Special Olympics program here in Knox County. We also 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 is the link to our conversation with Talisha:

  • I was born on May 22nd, 1859, in Edinburgh, Scotland.
  • I graduated with a Bachelor of Medicine and Mastery of Surgery from the University of Edinburgh in 1881.
  • Even though I graduated with a Bachelor of Medicine and Mastery of Surgery, I never succeeded in healthcare.
  • I became a writer and wrote the Sherlock Holmes series as well as 56 other novels.
  • I died on July 7th, 1930, at the age of 71.

….I am Arthur Conan Doyle
