My mom passed away 4 years ago today. And you just played ‘Hallelujah Even Here’ by Lydia Laird – which was the song I kept hearing during some very rough days (when I took care of my mom). Today it literally gave me chills in a good way. During those dark days the part of the song that says something about “nothing left to give is the sweetest offering” – at times I could only offer my tears and prayers to God. He took care of my mom (she had a deep peace and love for Jesus) and our entire family. Life 102.5 is a blessing indeed and certainly is uplifting. Thank you!

Raising teenagers can be many things, but certainly not boring! Wisconsin native Amy Betters-Midvedt would know as she’s currently parenting her fifth teen. We talk with her about her new book, “You’ll Make It (And They Will Too) – Everything No One Talks About When You’re Parenting Teens.” She shares what she’s learned from her experiences, including how to respond when they rebel, communicate with them more effectively, and lean on God for support.
