A voice of encouragement
As the world around you is so frustrating and chaotic, there is a radio station that is nothing but calming and uplifting.
Back in 1981 a group of Christians from East Texas decided to start a commercial free Christian radio station. The station, 89.5, began broadcasting on October 29 1983. This radio station plays only music that is encouraging and glorifying to God. They feature programs such as Adventures in Odyssey, Focus on the Family, and The Alternatives with Dr. Tony Evans.
Adventures in Odyssey is a thirty minute drama. It teaches children and adults life lessons. This program is created for ages 8-12, but it is listened to by the whole family. Your children will be taken on a imaginary adventure with great friends and creative fun characters. Enjoy the lessons taught through the adventures of John Avery Whittaker, or Whit, and his employees Connie Kendall, and Eugene Meltsner. The characters each have their own fun personalities that makes the journeys come to life and connect with your family.
Focus on the Family with Dr. James Dobson comes on most nights at nine. Dobson talks about marriage and true and current issues in every day relationships. Dr. Dobson has written 36 six books and many of them best sellers. “Dare To Discipline” washis first book that he wrote for parents and teachers. This book has sold over 4.5 million copies and it was even placed in the library at the White House. Besides his many awards and best sellers, he is also the founder of Focus on the Family. Focus on the Family is a non-profit organization that reaches out to families and to spread the Word of God. They have many programs that reach out students, parents, teachers, and children. Focus on the Family’s theme of their ministry is “Helping Families Thrive”. “Let’s get Acquainted” was the first radio broadcast by Focus on the Family. This was aired by Dr. Dobson on March 26, 1977. Since then, the ministry of Focus on the Family has changed many lives and the mission has spread through many countries around the world.
Start your day every morning with the voices of “Mike & Carrie in the morning”. Mike Harper has been the morning host for a long time and now is joined by Carrie Parsons, who brings the view of a mom. Enjoy a laugh with Mike and many times a cry with Carrie.
As your day continues encouragement is still available with Jeff Johnson. He understands that life can get chaotic and frustrating. Jeff keeps you day rolling with great music to keep your mind focused on the Lord. He keeps your day light with humor, to keep you smiling.

Jennifer is a wife and mother that works away fro home and she will encourage you through music and words of advice. She was a warm and polite personality that makes you feel like you know her.
