Game Time Tuesday – 4/26

Today was Game Time Tuesday on the Afternoon Drive!

We played song poetry using these lyrics: Stay where it’s safer / claim faith but waiver
/ Is this how we’re really meant to live? Brendan from Gambier called in and correctly guessed that those lyrics belong to Natalie Grant’s song Be One.

Heather from Centerburg was our winner for Name That Tune, correctly answering that the clip we played was from Fix My Eyes by For King & Country.

Both Heather and Brendan picked up a $5 gift certificate to Pier House Coffee Shop in Troyer’s of Apple Valley.

Make sure you head over here to check out all the information on Mom’s Night Out, our free event that is taking place next weekend.

Our Word of the Day was puckish (puhk-ish), which is an adjective meaning mischievous or impish. You can read more on that here.

We also told you our updated Lifeline 2016 total of $67,730! Thank you so much for your continued support of our station!

Have a terrific Tuesday evening!

Game Time Tuesday & Lifeline 2016 Update

Today was a VERY exciting day on the Afternoon Drive! During the second half of the show, we received a pledge from Big Mike & Upward Soccer that put us over our Lifeline 2016 goal! We are now sitting $62,049! Thank you so much to everyone who has given during Lifeline, we are extremely grateful for all of your love and support of WNZR!

Today was also Game Time Tuesday. We played song poetry using these lyrics: Breathing air we have never breathed / We’ll see colors we’ve never seen / Every sound like a symphony. Alexa from Howard correctly guessed that those lyrics belong to Live On Forever by The Afters.

Our Word of the Day was mash, and no, we aren’t talking about potatoes. The noun definition of mash is an intense and usually passing infatuation, or a crush. If you don’t believe us, you can read more on that here.

Have a terrific Tuesday evening!

Lifeline Choice Challenge Day!

Today on the Afternoon Drive, we strayed from our normal Praise Thursday and brought you the Lifeline Choice Challenge during an extended show.

We talked about our theme of Build Your Kingdom Here and how that relates to our mission statement: “WNZR Radio exists to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ, provide listeners with excellence in programming, build trusted relationships in the community, and advance the mission of Mount Vernon Nazarene University- shaping lives through educating the whole person and cultivating Christ-likeness for lifelong learning and service.”

John 15:8 talks about how we can glorify God by bearing fruit, and one way that we do that is by allowing Him to dwell in our hearts and build His kingdom there. As a ministry, we want the kingdom of God to be in our hearts so that we can show His kingdom to others.

Another way we can glorify God with our station is by providing our listeners with excellence in programming, which is the next part of our mission statement. We want to be able to provide with quality and family-friendly programming that encourages you toward a deeper relationship with Christ where YOU allow Him to build His kingdom in your heart.

Lastly, we want to build trusted relationships with people in the community so that we can show the love of Christ to others and build God’s kingdom in Knox County.

Our Word of the Day was parry, a verb meaning to ward off a weapon or blow, or to evade. You can read more on that here.

You can head over to wnzr.fm now to pledge for Lifeline 2016.

Have a great Thursday evening!

Lifeline Day of ALABANZA!

AlabanzaTOP
No, it’s not a type of bean…not a city in Morocco…it means PRAISE in the Spanish language. I always loved that word when I was living in Costa Rica and Colombia.  It makes praise sound fun…and shouldn’t it be?

Our Lifeline annual day of prayer and praise celebrates you and your part in our media ministry.  WNZR will celebrate 30 years this fall and that’s a reason to give Him praise!

Today was also ‘win it before you can buy it’ for Matthew West and Lauren Daigle at the Ohio State Fair this summer.  Congratulations to Heather of Mount Vernon who called when we played ‘Do Something!’

Thanks for listening!

Thy Kingdom Come!

lifeline banner-01Today we continued our devotionals on ‘Build Your Kingdom Here’ and focused on the Lord’s Prayer, found in Matthew 6 and Luke 11.

Jesus gives us a model for prayer that includes the phrase, “Thy Kingdom Come, Thy Will Be Done.” This means that as followers of Jesus, taking on the heart of Christ like we discussed last week, we should pray that God’s Kingdom will come in both us and on the earth.

This reminds us of our theme and the image of the Kingdom being built in our hearts. We should live in a way that the Kingdom of God will be seen in our words and in our actions. We are also living in anticipation of Jesus’ return and His promise to return again (Matthew 24:30-44).

So, we can think about the Kingdom this way: personified in Jesus as he walked this earth; transferred to us through allowing the Holy Spirit to take reign in our hearts; and finally, returning when Jesus returns.

Today we also gave away two more tickets to see Lecrae at the 2016 Ohio State Fair! Congratulations to Spencer, who won those tickets!!

The word of the day is CONSUMMATE, an adjective meaning complete in every detail or perfect, or extremely skilled and accomplished.

Thanks for listening!

Game Time Tuesday – 3/22

Today was Game Time Tuesday on the Afternoon Drive!

We started off the show with song poetry using these lyrics: I’ll surrender to the power / Of being crushed by love / Till the beauty that was hidden/ Isn’t covered up. Kristen from Mount Vernon called in and guessed that those lyrics belong to Hawk Nelson’s song Diamonds.

Our winner for Name That Tune was Sherrisa from Howard who guessed that the clip we played belonged to Dara Maclean’s song Wanted.

Our Word of the Day was affinal, an adjective meaning related by or concerning marriage. You can read more on that here.

And make sure to head over here for all the information on Lifeline 2016, which kicks off one week from tomorrow!

Have a terrific Tuesday evening!

-Jess
