Motivation for your First Day of Fall

Today, September 22nd, is the Autumnal Equinox, meaning it is officially fall season! Emma and I celebrated by sharing our favorite fall memories, along with some devotionals for Praise Thursday.

For my devotional today, I was inspired by the chance to attend a small group meeting with my closest friends this morning, so I shared Mike Wittmer’s piece entitled “People Who Need People” from Our Daily Bread.

Emma continued her “While We Wait” devotional series from the Bible App with Week 3 today! You can find the entire series HERE.

This week’s Name That Tune was Truth Be Told by Matthew West! Congratulations to Cassie of Butler for winning a $5 gift card to Round Hill Dairy!

We also had the chance to give away two pairs of Shrek Jr tickets thanks to MTVarts for this Saturday’s show at 7:30pm! Congratulations to Linda and Cassandra, both of Gambier, for winning those tickets!

Thanks for listening!

Gather Together!

Today, Jonathon and Emma shared about the excitement of last nights opening of the CH4 soccer and lacrosse stadium on the campus of MVNU. After the ribbon cutting ceremony, women’s soccer team took on Siena Heights (MI) and won 3-2. Later they shared about Frist Friday, which is happening tomorrow in downtown Mount Vernon. The theme this month is Back to School. Don’t forget to see Big Blue Crew to win our clean up, drink up, stay up basket.

Emma then shared a devotional from “The Well-Watered Woman” by: Gretchen Saffles. That we as Christians we sometimes compare our lives to the lives of others who are in a growing season. She then shared that you don’t have to be in a “blooming” season to be growing in your faith walk. That if you are stilled God can do amazing things in that growth. That if we find our hope in Christ, we can bloom where we are planted.

Jonathon later shared a devotional from “Our Daily Bread” When We Gather Together . He shared the verse Hebrews 10:25 NLT. He went on to talk about that as Christians we are encouraged to gather together as a community.

Today for Name that Tune, our song was Man of Your Word by Maverick City Music. Congrats to Becky of St. Louisville for winning a five dollar gift card to Round Hill Dairy.

Thanks for listening!

Well, Merry Christmas from our family here at WNZR to yours!

So with the faith you’ve given us
We’ll step into the valley unafraid”

One of my favorite parts of Christmas is the food, and it wouldn’t be the Afternoon Drive unless we shared some recipes now would it?
With food, naturally, comes leftovers. Here are a few delicious and fun ways to use up those Christmas leftovers!
Triple Chocolate Peppermint Kisses 
Ham Filo Roll
Ham and Rice Chowder

Now, I don’t know about you, but my dog is very important to me, and I would do anything to keep her safe. The same thing is the case with Natasha Wallace. She rode her bike with her 70-pound pit bull in her backpack to keep him safe from a neighborhood fire. Wow that’s awesome. Read the whole story here.

Thanks for listening!
