My husband died earlier this year and a lot of things changed in my life when that happened and I just find that UCB really gives me the encouragement I need and uplifts me and it's very comforting even on a sad day. It can be a lifeline sometimes and it really helps me get through. And lifts my heart.

We have a son, 29. He's been in drugs and alcohol for 12 years. He just walked away from sober living. So [I] get hurt. And how do I get through this? Well, your radio station, when I found it, I turned it on. I just kept listening to this Christian station. Didn't know nothing about it. And of course [those] little girls right there and we're dancing, and it just gives us so much peace. Like, I'm more relaxed, more at peace. Even though I'm in the middle of a messy storm for The Who knows 25th time. And then this was last year I--when we made a house move, I've had it on every morning. So when I turn that on. I will pick out a song that morning and I'll just sit and listen and just don't move and I just close my eyes and I just turn that song into a prayer. How they pray it back to God right away and something happens. That song that really helps me and I'm crying because--because how much it means to me through my day. It really does inspire me to finish my day, and sometimes it's a long day, but there's something about radio, right? There's something about atmosphere in the home. It just changes things.

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.
