I am so thankful for how God has provided community! He has put people into my life whether at church, work, or elsewhere who have been able to speak into certain situations in my life right as I am walking through them. It is so true that God’s love is seen through His people. I am so thankful for Christian community and how these individuals have encouraged me, challenged me, prayed for me, and have been in my corner throughout it all. One thing that is always an encouragement is when someone sends me a song, most-likely played on your station. It helps me remember the truth. Praise God for the gift of Christian community!

The Thursday before Easter I was very touched by the truth of God’s Love for us. I saw a post that said, “What would you do if you knew it was the last day of your life here on earth? Jesus washed His friends feet.♥️” I really was touched by that picture of God’s tender love! That day something amazing happened! It was a beautiful moment when I felt my “Feet” were washed by Jesus. I was at the grocery store checking out and a few people that were behind us only had a few items so we let them go ahead of us in line. Next we went ahead to get checked out. When I went to pay for my groceries they had been paid! The person said “you had done something kind for those people, I just wanted to do something kind for you!” Flabbergasted! That was my reaction! I have been blessed with the Love of my Heavenly Father and he whispered in the heart of a stranger to wash my feet! Blessed beyond all measure! Dear Lord May my last days on earth be like you! Washing the feet of my brothers and sisters! ♥️

Update** I just want to start off by saying “Fight on my knees” is a great song, as well as “Tomorrow.” There are more songs as well that are wonderful. It’s always in my mind not to give up. God is in control! I’m a surviver in recovery. Jesus saved my life in July of 2022. When He did I re-dedicated my life to Christ. I just got baptized on March 24th of this year. My son did last year as well. I love my church. I became a manager at my job last year. Finally, I was able to get a new car for the kids and I. I feel if I keep my eyes focused on Jesus, he guide me where to go. Thank you life 102.5, you have helped me as well.

Moving from Milwaukee to Madison in a snow storm and as I went off the ramp my car spun out and I ended up on the side of the road. My husband was ahead of me with the truck and all the stuff plus 2 cats. Two guys came and helped me off of the embankment. God was with me that night. Another time moving from Oklahoma to Arizona, I was driving the car and my husband was driving the moving van. Somehow I lost him and didn’t know where he turned off, but I turned down the right street and found him. God was with me then too.Guess we shouldn’t drive at night when we move any more. Have a blessed day. Thanks for all you do.

My husband struggled with drug addiction for many years. On December 4th he passed away due to suicide by overdose. God has been getting me through this with prayers from many people and me just holding on to him and my faith to get me through each day. God has always worked in my life through music. I’ve heard the song Strong by Ann Wilson many times and recently the words of the song have really meant a lot to me. During this time so many people have said what a strong woman I am and I know that my strength comes from God and nowhere else because I can’t do this without him. Thank you for the uplifting music everyday.

Just an appreciative shout-out to the kind and honest person who received my ticket to the “We Are Messengers” concert, with their tickets, and mailed it to me! They sent an anonymous note that said, “This was in with my tickets. Hope they find you.” It made me think of the 432 Be Kind Challenge, and I’m so grateful for their thoughtfulness in bothering to send my ticket to me! I have a General Admission ticket and am just planning on meeting some friends there. And now I’ll still be able to, fortunately! So, if you could just mention this and say, “Thank you very much!” for me, I’m hoping they’ll hear it and know that their efforts were successful, and that I’m much appreciative, as well! Thank you for being kind, anonymous honest person, out there! Anne in Madison 😊

“Testify” by Needtobreathe – I still remember this song is the one that gave me pause when I first found your station. It was the upbeat tempo. I listened to you the whole way to work that day. One of many times I was trying to find my way out of a position between a rock and a hard place.

I have been in constant surrender lately, giving my mind over to Jesus . Its been a bit overwhelming because we all know the enemy doesn’t like it when we pursue Jesus, but that will never stop me. On a particular morning, while driving to work, the overwhelming feeling was creeping in and I prayed to God for relief and a second later “Sparrows” by Cory Asbury came on and I just start crying. God knew just what I needed to hear in an instant

Back in 2015 my boyfriend had gone through major vascular surgery and was in ICU for 5 days. I drove over 60 miles back and forth to be by his side. I listened to your station every day and it helped me stay grounded through these difficult times. I brought Tim home from the hospital and had to drive to the store for him and on my way ended up with a flat tire in the middle of nowhere. My insurance company couldn’t find where I was to tell the tow company. I sat there crying to God as Tim was suffering at home in pain. I didn’t know what to do. As I was sitting there a man had pulled up behind me to see if I needed help. I told him about my boyfriend just going through major surgery and that I had to drive back and forth to UW every day and I didn’t have time to get new tires. He thankfully helped me change out my flat tire. I asked him how much I owed him. He said to keep the money and put it towards new tires. I of course started to cry and told him that he was my angel in disguise.

My father is in the Air Force and is gone for 5 months and you help me go through that. Thank you.
