This month, LifeSongs is aiming to raise $260,000 during our Spring Share-a-thon. This ambitious goal will allow us to continue broadcasting authentic and uplifting radio to Southeast Louisiana and beyond. Your donation is absolutely crucial in helping us reach this target and maintain our vital ministry.

We’ve seen firsthand the powerful impact LifeSongs has on our community. We’ve received countless letters and calls expressing gratitude for the encouragement, spiritual guidance, and community connection this ministry provides. These stories fuel our passion to continue delivering this essential service, but we need your help to keep the music playing and the messages of hope flowing.

Your generous contribution will directly impact listeners like Ron in Metairie. Ron says,

We invite you to partner with us and help us share God’s love and spread hope through the ministry of LifeSongs. Please prayerfully consider making a monthly gift of $30, $50, $100 or any amount! You can also make a single gift of $100, $500, $1000 or any amount! Every dollar brings us closer to our $260,000 goal!

Thank you!

You know that feeling of accomplishment when you see an idea come to life? Or a sense of pride when something you were a part of flourishes? It’s almost spring, and soon those seeds being planted will bloom and grow.

There are families in Southeast Louisiana who’ve been able to have their needs met to the tune of over 14,000 meals – YOU did that. Over 8,000 local students went back to school with the supplies they needed – and YOU made that happen. Across the globe, over 100,000 children have heard the good news of the Gospel through a shoebox gift – and yes, that’s also thanks to YOU.

You have made such a meaningful difference in the lives of those we serve – thank you for your kindness and generosity. Your support means the world to us! Without it, we would not be able to have the impact we do on our community and world – thank you!

Soon, there will be an opportunity for more seeds to be planted. Please pray for God to continue to provide and to keep using this LifeSongs family to make a difference.

Sincerely,

It’s the most wonderful time of the year – the celebration of our Lord and Savior’s birth and RESET of a New Year!

As you make a list of who you want to bless this Christmas & New Year, remember LifeSongs! Your gift makes an incredible difference to this ministry! And LifeSongs is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit ministry, so your end of year gift of $100, $500, $1000 or any amount is tax-deductible.

And while this is a time of joy for us, many are searching. Join us in prayer that those who listen will find the reason we celebrate – Jesus!

Thank you for making that possible. Each person that God reaches through LifeSongs, is because of you! And we are excited to see what God has in store for our partnership in the coming year!

Just to give you a little glimpse into what we have planned in 2025… LifeSongs will start a new Sunday morning worship show in the new year (hosted by Paul). And we’re working on a new podcast to share with you as well. These new ventures are made possible by you! Thank you!

We hope your Christmas is full of joy and that an exciting new year awaits you.

Life doesn’t always … or even usually go the way we plan. The Bible talks about this in Proverbs 16 – “We can make our own plans, but the Lord gives the right answer.”

Hi, I’m Julie Headrick, General Manager of LifeSongs Radio. Hurricane Francine probably wasn’t what you had planned for this past week, but together we take on the challenges before us. For LifeSongs – our plan was to fully fund this ministry with our Fall Shareathon. Now our plan is to officially begin our essential fundraiser on Monday.

Please pray for LifeSongs – that God would provide in that special way He always does. And if you’re ready to give now or make a monthly faith commitment to provide for LifeSongs, please CLICK HERE.

No matter how mixed up our lives get, we also know the Bible says the plans God has for us are to give us Hope and a future. Thank you for sharing hope through the ministry of LifeSongs.

If you need helpful resources as you clean-up from the storm, CLICK HERE. We are praying for you and want to help any way we can.

I grew up in small churches, singing old hymns along to the piano. So many of those lyrics still stay with me today. Lyrics like these:

Count your blessings, name them one by one.

If you only hear the chorus of this hymn, it seems like a happy song and it is! But it’s not speaking of easy times. The verses speak of storms, burdens, and conflict. And in those times, it is most important to count our blessings! It helps us remember what God has done in the past, so we are reminded of what He will do in the present and future.

My son is starting high school this year and I have anxiety as he starts a new phase of his life at a new school. But I’m reminding myself to count my blessings. God has led us to each school my son has attended – preschool, elementary school, and middle school. And that reminder is giving me peace that He has led us to this high school.

At LifeSongs, God gives us a similar reassurance. As a radio ministry that is supported by our listeners, we come to you twice a year and ask for your financial support. We call this Share-a-thon, and it can be a bit daunting. But God has provided through listeners, like you, for 45 years. So, we count our blessings, and we remember that He will provide for LifeSongs again!

We count you as a blessing to this ministry! Without financial support from listeners like you, LifeSongs would not exist!

We’ll soon have LifeSongs Fall Share-a-thon. Your monthly gift of $30, $50 or any amount makes this ministry possible. Your single gift of $100, $500 or another amount encourages others to do the same.

If you give BEFORE our Fall Share-a-thon, you will help us with a special $50,000 match!

We appreciate you prayerfully considering supporting LifeSongs.

Can you believe 2024 is nearly halfway over? How did you spend the first five months of the year? Time flies so fast that it’s often easy to forget all the good that is happening. But Psalms 46:8 says, “Come and see what the Lord has done, the amazing things he has done on the earth.”

And God is doing amazing things through YOU and your support of LifeSongs!

Your giving:

– provided over 14,000 meals for families in Southeast Louisiana

– sent over 8,000 local students back to school with supplies

– shared the Gospel through a shoebox gift with 100,000+ children

– helped countless lives be changed by the Good News

Thank you so much! You’ve earned some fun and plenty is coming your way during LifeSongs Days of Summer Fun! You can:

– share a daily “Moment of Joy”

– skate the night away at Airline Skate Center every Tuesday 6-8pm

– solve the mystery of the “Secret Sound” & win

– crank up the AC for Christmas in July

– introduce others to LifeSongs for encouragement & fun all summer long

Do you know what else is fun? Supporting LifeSongs! When you support LifeSongs, you are giving a gift to your community. Each day LifeSongs reminds Southeast Louisiana that God Is Good All The Time.

Make a difference in your community with your monthly gift of $30, $50, $100 or another amount. Share the Good News with your single gift of $100, $500, $1000 or any amount.

Thank you for prayerfully considering supporting LifeSongs. We hope you will join us for a fun-filled summer!

Thanks to the over 1,100 friends who gave to this ministry during our Fall Share-a-thon. I’m Julie Headrick, General Manager of LifeSongs.

We wrapped up our Shareathon, just 3% short of the goal. LifeSongs is listener-supported, and each day we share Hope through authentic and uplifting radio during a time when that message is SO NEEDED.

And when you give – you are doing the same! Your support is still needed. You can give right now, RIGHT HERE!

We’ve hit the point in the year when our days are jam-packed.

I’m Julie Headrick, General Manager of LifeSongs Radio and if you’re feeling like there’s nothing left, we’ve got good news for you. Jesus is already carrying the weight of the world on His shoulders, so we don’t have to!

We may not be able to control WHAT happens, but we can choose our response to it. We can turn to God and ask for His help. And LifeSongs is here to remind you to do just that.

That reminder is available on LifeSongs to anyone struggling with feeling “at capacity,” thanks to your support of this ministry. We’re so grateful that we get to do this together.  And together, we’ll kick off our LifeSongs Fall Share-a-Thon very soon. Your monthly gift or single gift makes the uplifting encouragement you hear on LifeSongs possible. And you don’t have to wait to make a difference with your support, make a gift today!

I am a planner. I like a routine and knowing what to expect. But I’ve worked at LifeSongs for 25 years now and been a part of approximately 50 Share-a-thons and not one of them has been the same or predictable in any way.

I love data. Math is my love language. And no matter how much data input and analyzing I do, the Share-a-thon math is not mathing. There is no pattern to be seen. There is no figuring out which hour is going to be great or which day is going to be slow. It’s always a little nerve wracking. But we just have to prepare as much as we can and trust that God is going to provide through you, our listeners. And He always does. And YOU always do.

This Spring Share-a-thon, I was even more nervous than usual. Over the past couple of years our LifeSongs team has gotten smaller and smaller. This is the smallest staff we’ve ever had heading into a Share-a-thon in decades. There were some shifts when there was only one person answering phones and other shifts when one sick person was on the air alone, because their co-host was home with a sick child. But even short on staff and what felt like running on fumes, God provided everything!

Similarly, we also noticed that there are less of you who are doing more. You who give monthly are also giving single gifts. You who had already given once, called back and gave again. We know it’s not easy to carry a heavier load and we thank you for stepping up and ensuring that this ministry is provided for. God provided everything, through YOU!

If you are not currently giving to LifeSongs, we are always in need of financial support. You can give now at https://lifesongs.denarionline.com/Donate?shareathon=202109shw

I’m off to a slow start this year after testing positive for Covid on New Year’s Eve. And it may seem like it’s too late to start something new, but we’re only 3 weeks into the 52 weeks we have this year! And these resolutions are something to work toward this year, not something to perfect from the start.

The past couple of years I’ve been trying to think about New Year’s resolutions a little differently. I answer these questions and then make my New Year’s resolutions based on the answers:

At the beginning of last year, I made a resolution to treat myself better by “asking for help.” It is definitely an ongoing process, but I am getting better at it! That is one resolution that I will carry over into this year. In 2022, I also began meditating and going to counseling to bring myself peace. Both of those things have been so helpful to me and I will continue them in 2023.

What about you? How can you treat yourself better this year? How can you bring yourself peace? How can you bring joy to the people you love? Share with me via email – [email protected].
