God Used This To Plant A Seed In My Heart...

If you have ever felt guilty for not giving money to someone who asks on the streets, I am right there with you. A man kindly asked if I'd like to give a donation for a copy of Streetzine, a paper that offers financial opportunities to homeless and economically disadvantaged individuals. I told him that I didn't have any money, and he said, "That's okay, may God bless you in all you do anyway." Problem is, I did have some extra money, and then God spoke to my heart...

Just Because Someone Carries It Well Doesn't Mean It's Not Heavy

I remember when I overheard someone saying to a friend of mine, “Oh my goodness! You are always a ray of sunshine, smiling, and just a joy to be around!!” My friend gave her patented smile and a hug, and after a brief chat they both went their separate ways. It almost brought a tear to my eyes because I knew more…

How Often Do You Wash Your Jeans And Pajamas?

Help! There’s a big debate our 90.9 KCBI Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/90.9KCBIFM/photos/a.565288250176004/6121795697858537/ on how often you should wash some of your clothing. Some people only wash their pajamas once a month, and when I tell people that I wash my jeans after every wear, they tell me that’s too much! How about you? -Sonny

A Real Life "Meet Cute"

Brenda sent a text of encouragement with a Bible verse to a friend, or so she thought. It was actually sent to a person she didn't know named Isaiah, but when she apologized for the wrong number he responded that it made his day and asked if he could call her. The Stearns celebrate their 13-year anniversary this June along with their six children. Now that's a "Meet-Cute!" -Sonny

I Don't Think I'll Ever Forget This Moment Between 2 Complete Strangers

If you we're in attendance at First Baptist Sunnyvale for the Jesus People Tour, you know how special of a night it was. Amazing music, people lost in worship, but the thing I'll never forget from that night didn't take place on that stage, it was an interaction between two complete strangers sitting right in front of me.

Seek To Understand

If other people anger you easily, hold on to this verse from the Book of James: "Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger; for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God." - James 1:19 May God's peace be with you. -Sonny

1 Year Of Praying For Ukraine

One year ago today, millions of women and children fled as the war in Ukraine began. KCBI listeners provided funds so these refugees could have a place to get out of the cold, sleep, eat and shower. But due to the generosity of 90.9 KCBI FM listeners, we were able to send $40,000 to Texas Baptist Men https://www.facebook.com/TexasBaptistMen?__cft__%5B0%5D=AZVMEkrJg0b6PYKSLZCX3kaGMmtd5GlRx1mHPbjBPCFzYeBhr4AeJYjtss0u4DQs5RpVeeCx7rDmlBMNSp4knxDnDekAPqr6XBOkO7Pot_F-C-uZ4TpdZ0pwnbIy5zGhPXyENIKyNWL54LhIBOID6lpJ4dCAwv0tHCfjXEnTlhFiF_aCS7f2jH9atAdhvFJSy4F7M5hLrEEISTmbDBJ8_NQVba3m2Wnzf7Ho1WGFWYwKMA&__tn__=-%5DK-y-R to further its ministry to Ukrainian refugees fleeing to the Polish border and I had the chance to witness it first hand! I love my job and I love the KCBI family.

There's Purpose To Your Pain

If you're going through a tough time, Jonathan Evans understands. He was injured, cut and traded during his five-year NFL career. He wondered why he was going through all of the pain and suffering, and then a phone call. The Dallas Cowboys wanted him to become the team Chaplain.

You Will Never Be Lost

Maybe you've wondered if connecting with God is worth your while. I can only speak from my experience. When I've taken the time to talk with God, not a single breath was lost. When I've made the choice to walk with God, my strength has never been lost. He's sustained me. And when I've trusted in God in prayer, I've never been lost.
