About a week ago, I was driving to Kingston with my grandson, who is 12 years old, and I always listen to UCB. That's the only thing on in my truck. But I said Ace, would you like to pick a station to listen to? And he said, “Oh, no, grandma. Christian radio is just fine with me.” I was just thrilled to hear him say that and to know that he was eager to listen to more Christian music. He's made a commitment to Christ and he listens to Christian radio. His mom and stepfather listen to Christian music. So he was just happy to--to listen to it.

Without radio it doesn't get there. So this an important thing for us to get behind. Hey this is Chris from Rend Collective. I just want to talk to you about the importance of Christian Radio. You know, we hear stories all the time about how the Holy Spirit is meeting people in their cars, in their houses while they're dancing in the kitchen and it's all thanks to radio. Without radio it doesn't get there. Our songs just won't get out there. We believe that our songs are filled with the word of God, most of the choruses are just taken directly out of scripture. So this an important thing for us to get behind, while they're doing this fundraising drive I just absolutely encourage you to lean into what UCB is doing.

I work in a community and I've been through a lot in my life and as I drive around going from home to home, I have UCB on and it just seems that at the moments when I really need a word from God of just, you know, I'm more than just the sum of my parts-- It'll be a speaker or it'll be a song that comes on that just encourages me and reminds me to just keep believing that God will have my back no matter what. There's a voice out there that says you're not alone.
