PRAISE 106.5 Moments

It's easy to get caught up in the frustrations of everyday life, but one simple truth can change everything: God loves us deeply, and He loves the people around us too.

When we keep that at the front of our minds, patience comes easier, grace grows deeper, and our responses begin to reflect His heart.

The Presidential Physical Fitness Test Trauma
Every time someone mentions running a mile, I'm instantly transported back to middle school and the Presidential Physical Fitness Test, otherwise known as the annual event designed to humble kids in front of their classmates.

Worry is something we all wrestle with, whether it's about our kids, our future, our finances, or the unknowns of tomorrow. A reminder for all of us is that while Jesus tells us we don't need to carry those burdens, He also isn't shaming us when we do.

Instead, He gently invites us to hand our worries over to Him and trust that He's already holding the future in His hands.
