WAY-FM is literally a life saver. I have struggled with so many things over my life, one of the biggest things is depression. Every time I get into the car it takes every piece of strength I have not to run it into a tree. Then I found WAY-FM, every time I turn my car on they are pumping a positive message into my psyche. You guys have changed my life more than I can say. Thank you so much!
Hey! We love hearing from you, about you... about how your life has been changed and what you think.

Thank you so much for your ministry! By God's Grace, my son is alive after a horrific car accident in which his best friend died. He is serving a 12 year sentence near you. He's lived through years of rebellion against God but again, by God's Grace, he is now beginning to listen to what the Word of God has to say to him. He's been introduced to your radio station; IT IS A LIFELINE FOR HIM. Recently he heard "Hold My Heart" by Tenth Avenue North and asked us to listen to it. Our family cried recognizing his struggles. We bought the CD (which we cannot send to him) and wish he could hear the song on it "By Your Side". Our prayer is for healing for him and his friend's family and that they would lean into Christ as Savior and Father God acknowledging that HE is Sovereign, Sufficient, and Perfect in all His ways! Thanks and God bless!

Your station lifts my spirit every time I listen. I had back surgery a year ago and since then have had a time at putting pieces together, I was unemployed from July 2008 until June 2009 and lost everything, my pride, my dignity, my faith and became LOST. Through many prayers I have gotten on my feet but in the falling economic era we are in find myself making less money in a full time job that i have ever made. Making ends meet are very hard and Christmas this year will only exist through family fellowship and love, no money for gifts and battling depression for me only get harder through the holidays. So as a single christian mother, I pray for your station and in return asking for your prayers for my family and I through the season and year beyond.

I'm a freshman in high school this year, and it's been a real challenge for me to stand up for God at school. But my friends have really helped me a lot. So has WAY-FM. The music you play is really encouraging and uplifting. Whenever I'm having a bad day, I just think about the songs on 88.1, and I know God will help me through it. Songs like "Never Alone" and "By Your Side" remind me that God is always there. And songs like "Jesus Freak" encourage me to glorify God, no matter what others think. It's tough to be a Christian in school, but I know it's not impossible. God will give me the courage. Thank you guys so much for what you do.

I started listening to WAY-FM back in July this year. I don't know where I would be right now if I didn't listen to the encouragement you receive from 88.1; I love music, it's my passion. Now I found christian music to be the only thing I listen to. I was at the point in my life where I felt I had nothing to live for. I was sexually active with guys just because I wanted to feel loved. I smoked cigarettes and went out partying every weekend just to hide the pain I felt. It seemed so easy to just give in to things that weren't healthy for me. I moved in August to get a fresh start. I attend a local church every week now and my kids are doing a lot better. Some people may question how a radio station can change your life. I just know I turned on the radio July 12th and did a scan. It took me to 88.1 and "City On Our Knees" was playing. I started listening and pulled my car to the side of the road and tears ran down my face. I knew it wasn't too late. Just like they say in the song, "There is even hope through the fog". That day I will never forget. It was the day of a new beginning for me. My life has changed and I am so glad to finally wear a smile on my face everyday. The most beautiful thing in life is hearing my kids praying to God and thanking him for making their mommy a better mommy.

I am 17 and in my Senior year of High School! The last 2 years my Dad battled with cancer. Through everything my faith never changed, partly because of WAY-FM! He went to be with the Lord this past June. I'm still hurting for him but I know in my heart that I WILL see him again someday because he was a great Dad and raised me to follow Christ. Thank you WAY-FM for being a part of my life and helping me to keep my mind focused on God!

WAY-FM is a great station that supports me in my everyday walk with god. I am 15 and going to high school everyday with all of its drama, lies, and problems can be a real downer on my faith. But listening to WAY-FM helps keep me up. Jonny Diaz's song More Beautiful You tells my story about a girl who thinks she is worthless but needs to see her beauty on the inside. Thank you so much WAY-FM for all you do in my life!

With two teens at home, I am constantly challenged to be up on the issues they have to live and deal with everyday. Its' hard to be "in" this world and not "of" it, too. As a mom, I struggle to allow them their freedom and growth in becoming who God has planned for them to be. Music is huge for us as a family. We all have our favorites and struggle to find that balance that allows us to enjoy it without destroying God's image in our minds and hearts. Thankfully, WAY-FM brings my family music, laughter, and great topics to discuss with all the different shows. The music of Decyfer Down, especially the newest one, Fading, has touched my heart especially as someone who has lived the destruction of addiction and rallied after being brought to my knees and flat on my face before God. The music and programming of WAY-FM has allowed me the opportunity to share parts of my heart with my teen brains, without preaching. Thank you for that.

I am mother of three. Two are teenagers, one has 3 more years to go. We all listen to your station and love it. My husband became a fan of Christian music on a trip about 4 years ago. You were playing a Third Day song. He was relaxing with his eyes closed and almost asleep. The kids and I were jamming out! I noticed his foot was tapping and his fingers were drumming with the beat of the music. After the song was finished, I laughed and said "looks like dad likes Third Day music". He opened his eyes and said "was the christian music?" I said yes it was! He smiled and closed his eyes and began to hum the song. So thank you third Day for making the music and thank you WAY-FM for playing it!

I have recently been released from a three year prison sentence. I found your radio station by accident one day in prison. The music that you play really stirs my heart. I shared with the other inmates and a lot of them came to Christ because of your station. I too am saved now thanks to your radio station. Now that I am out, I have my wife and my two boys listening to your station. I just want to let you know that your station has really impacted the inmates in prison, my family and myself. Thank You WAY-FM P.S. Wally you stay strong because you were the first person I heard on this station and you just keep on doing what you do. Because you really are reaching out and helping people come to Christ. God Bless You and WAY-FM

I am going through a divorce right now. Your station is all I have been listening to since my husband and I separated. The inspiration that this station (with God's direction) brings me has been such a blessing! It is hard right now with the divorce, because I still love him, but I KNOW that God has better plans for me in the near future. Please continue doing what you are doing! Thank you.

We recently moved to Thomasville, Georgia and my husband found your station while looking for another station. The music is so inspirational and whenever I am down and out I turn up the music as loud as I can, stand up and just worship. We have a fourteen year old that listens to the station and has downloaded a lot of the songs to his iPod so that he can listen even when he is not near a radio. We all enjoy listening to your station and it has really brought us all closer to the Lord. Thank you!

It all started when I realized I really found emptiness in the music I listened to before. I started scanning through my stations and found you guys and then permanently locked it in. I've always been more connected to God through music and the lyrics in songs and have never felt so close to him as I do now. You guys always have awesome music playing and all your shows rock! The music on this station always makes me have my own worship sessions in the car and when I get out to where I'm going I'm always in the best mood. Not to mention, the last song I hear is in my head all day! I just love it and am thankful for the music on your station.

I absolutely LOVE your station. I listen to it every minute I have in the car. It puts me in such a great mood. Anytime I get down or doubt myself, I think bout one of the songs your play. There is always a song that makes me feel better about myself. I've just lost someone important in my life and there are so many things that make me think of that person - Whenever that happens I can always turn to your station and listen to a song that makes me feel that I AM loved. God loves me no matter what. Your station really has changed my life. When I first started listening I wasn't where I should be in my spiritual walk. Now, after a few months of listening to your station my life has completely changes. I joined my church and the choir, and I have truly re-dedicated my life to God and I want to thank you guys for that. You showed me what kind of relationship I could have and I've decided to strive for that. THANK YOU!

I am so glad WAY-FM offers a connection to music. My employer lets us listen to music and I choose WAY-FM. I feel like I have a strong connection to Jesus all day while I am in the work place. While you were updating your web site I was not able to access the music for two days. I felt so lonely at work without the music you play. It really uplifts me and fills me spiritually. I love the song by Casting Crowns, "East to West". No matter what kind of day I am having I know I can turn on WAY-FM and get tuned into Jesus. I am so thankful for all the things you do. Keep up the good work!

I was driving down the road one day and I heard this song that just touched me. It was Jimmy Needham's 'Fence Riders.' At that point in my life I was not a Christian. Then for 2 months straight I would just listen to your radio station every day. About 2 months ago I became a Christian and I thank you for that!!! The music that you play is just so uplifting!! There is one song that touches me more than ever and I sing it in my want with my kids...I do however have to pull over the van because it makes me cry, it is called 'Indescribable.' Again, I just want to thank you! You are a true blessing!

I had been going through many struggles lately and found WAY-FM on the radio and since then I've been telling all my friends at school about WAY-FM. When I hear artists like Jimmy Needham, Britt Nicole, and the Almost, I turn up the radio and start singing so loud. I'm so proud and thankful to have a radio station in this area that reaches out to youth and young adults with such a positive influence. Since I've been listening to it, my little sisters that I take to school have learned the lyrics. Now my sisters and I sing along with this uplifting and inspiring radio radio station and don't fill our ears of the worldly music played so often around this type of environment. Thank you for all you've done.

This morning as I was driving my 6-year-old son to school, we were listening to WAY-FM as usual as the song "Made to Love" by Toby Mac came up (which we love). As the song came to an end, my son asked, "why does he say he would give away all his things?" That opened up the door for me to once again share with my son my love for Jesus. I said that I would give away everything I have because God sent His son Jesus to die for me. Then I quoted Romans 5:8 (while we were still sinners, Christ died for us). What an awesome opportunity! All because of Christian music -- and now I know for sure that he is listening to the words and it in turn is impacting his life. Thanks WAY-FM!

Thank you so much for doing what you do!! May God continue to bless this ministry!! I have just recently gone through a break-up with my boyfriend. I know that God knows what (and who) is best for us, but the pain is almost too much to endure. If it were not for the faith that I have in God, the inspiring Christian music, and my friends and family, I don't know that I could make it through this. I am actually listening to Third Day as I type this. I know that there is a light at the end of this tunnel that I am going through right now... and life will go on with God as my guide! I will keep holding on!

I have felt complacent for years in my spiritual life. I've had some tough times over the past few years, and the music on WAY-FM has helped encourage me that I'm not alone and God is always there. God has really opened some doors in my life lately, and WAY-FM's music also helps me to remember to give Him the glory for what He has done in my life. Thanks for all that you do, WAY-FM!

I had just renewed my relationship with Christ when I found WAY-FM. I had recently been addicted to drugs and needed something positive to help stay off them. Since listening to WAY-FM my marriage has been restored, we found a home church and were given a house without a rent payment and I got a new job. It was on my heart to give at Sharathon, even though I didn't have any money I stepped out on faith and have been able to give $20 a month and then more blessings came. Thank you WAY-FM staff and all the supporters of WAY-FM, without this radio station and Jesus Christ I would not be where I am today!!

I've been an on and off listener for a few years now, but yesterday I deliberately chose to listen. As I was listening to another local station's morning show, the DJ made a comment about not going to church on Sunday but telling her friend to "tell God I said hi." Let's just say that at the moment the DJ made her comment I was convicted. This past weekend my husband and I took our youth group on a retreat where we did a lot of counseling on being bold in your faith and standing up for what's right. How could I continue to encourage youth members to do one thing and not follow the same advice for myself. I immediately turned the station to WAY-FM and shortly after doing so heard our theme song from the retreat, "My Savior." Thank you WAY-FM for being there for me to literally turn to when I needed it most!

Thank you for always reminding me that through the storms I can lift my hands and praise His Holy Name. When I am tired and feel like I can't go on, your music lifts me up and reminds me I'm not alone. I am a private duty home health aide. I work 24/7 for a 42 year old gentleman with Parkinson's disease. God is always with me, giving me strength and compassion to care for this man. With God I could not go on.

I am a wife and mother of three boys. I have had way too much to deal with lately and have just wanted to throw in the towel, giving up on my marriage, my family, and God. Just last week when I was feeling like ending my marriage and moving out, I was in my car changing the preset buttons. I felt lead to use the seek button (which I never do) and search around to see what stations might be out there that I didn't know about. After a couple of tries, I landed on your station, WAY-FM. I was instantly hooked. The song that had just started playing turned out to be Sanctus Real's "Don't Give Up." I knew instantly that even though I was unwilling to listen to God anymore, He found a way to get right to my heart. I cannot thank you enough for the life changing, positive music you play. The direction in my life is forever changed.

I had stopped listening to the radio some time ago while driving, because I just couldn't find a station that I truly enjoyed listening to. One morning while scanning something I heard on your radio station changed my life and my listening habits. Now my radio stays on WAY FM. I look forward each morning to getting in my truck and listening to your station. I can't wait to hear what you have lined up to play for me and what you have to say. The conversation is always interesting, funny and heartfelt and the music is great. The song "Drifter" is one of my favorites because I feel like the song was written just for me and describes my feelings and what has happened in my life. God is always there to give me a hand to help me find my way back home. Thank you WAY-FM!

I wanted to tell you how much this station means to me and that it has been such a blessing. I have three daughters that are Marines. I will be so down and a song will come on that reminds me that they are in his hands. Having one of them in Iraq at this moment makes days long and nights longer, but because of my faith, hearing musical praise, and friends and family, I can get through this. Thank you WAY-FM!

I am a sophomore in college and I was raised in church. When I began college, I decided that church was not something for me and that I was going to step away for a while and "do my own thing." I went through emotional, physical, and spiritual struggles over the last year and a half but I still fought all the feelings that led me back to where I know I should be‚ -- Âchurch. I have rededicated my life to Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior. The "20 minutes a day can change your life" that WAY-FM encourages listeners to do has helped tremendously in this radical change in my life. Thank you WAY-FM, for challenging fellow brothers and sisters in the Lord to make time for Jesus every day! It helped save me!

My boys and I have been through a difficult year. My husband, their dad, left last November after admitting to an affair. In a few short minutes our lives were thrown into a whirlwind that I was not sure we would recover from. Then a friend told me about WAYFM and we listened. We loved it! The LORD has blessed us so much in the last 10 months and your station is just one of those blessings.
