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 88.3, 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.
Hey! We love hearing from you, about you... about how your life has been changed and what you think.

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 88.3; 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 88.3 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.

WAY-FM has been such an anchor in my life over the last few years. I have gone through marital hardships and continued in faith and continue to be blessed. Your music lifts me up and makes me feel alive! It has helped my husband in times of need! I am truly blessed! My 2 beautiful girls hear nothing but the best when riding with me! It continues to lift me up daily! God Bless!

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.

I used to listen to a lot of secular music and then I happened to find 88.3 on my radio because my friend who I went to church with listened to it and kept telling me that I should listen to it. So one day I was like, sure why not just give it a try and NOW I AM SO COMPLETELY HOOKED! I LOVE 88.3! I learned that if I listened to God Centered music in the mornings before school, that I would have a better day, not perfect but better, because I could focus my thoughts (when they strayed in class) to Godly centered music instead on the secular music. I love 88.3, it has helped shape me into a such better Christian, and I love how I can hear stories from other struggling Christians and I know that I'm not the only person feeling like how I do. : )

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 aware 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!
