Listener Stories

Your story matters to God and to us at The Wind. We are always hearing about how the right song at the right time impacts your life. 

Tanya: "I found you while fleeing domestic violence shortly after becoming a newcomer to the U.S.A. Your station became my family away from home as I battled to recover. Your songs became my daily worship, and God reminded me through them that the enemy would not prevail because God loves me and is for me. It took nine years to recover from the devastation, and at times I gave to your station a bit as I could, but never what I wanted to. Today, I am renewing as a prayer of Thanksgiving for God's miracles through my journey, bringing me full circle. I just graduated as an RN and started my nursing career this month, as my way of serving my Lord."

Mackenzie: "I hit my lowest in 2020. I was running from God’s call on my life, trying to do life on my own. I had separated from my wife, lost my job, and the devil was in my head saying, “You don’t matter. Your wife and child are better off without you.” The day I made up my mind to take my life, I got in my truck and something told me to turn on your station. On the radio that day was a song telling me about Jesus. I surrendered fully to God’s call on my life that day, and what a wonderful whirlwind it has been since. My marriage was fully restored. He has blessed me with an amazing job, as well as helped me start a ministry as part of His call on my life."

Michelle: "13 years ago, I lost my only child. I was very lost and struggled with my grief for the first five years. I tried to take my life several times. I started listening to your station, and I don't know when it happened but one evening, I finally understood that God had not forsaken me. That God has been there all along holding my hand, helping me every day get through such a great loss. I finally, truly got it that one day I would be with my beautiful son again. Now, every day that passes I know I am one step closer to holding my son again and never having to let him go. I've gone on to reach out to other bereaved parents. To lose a child is the most devastating loss of them all and it's hard to find your way, but I tell everyone, “Please hold on to your faith. God will see you through.” Thank you for giving me back hope and a reason to go on."

Tim: "Your station has been a bright light during one of the darkest periods of my life. My wife has been in and out of the hospital for an illness that, at times, made me feel hopeless. But there always seems to be just the song I need to hear playing. Bless you."

Shelley: "I just wanted to say thank you for continuing to offer hope and love in a sometimes grumpy, dirty, hateful world. I have been listening to The Wind on and off for several years. Even when my life has fallen off the rails and I stopped attending church I knew I could find Jesus again in the words of the songs you play. I'm back in church and I listen to your station every day. We sing some of the songs you play at my church and it fills my heart. So thank you! Please keep doing what you're doing!"

Brenda: "I do not believe we will ever really know the impact your station has had on the lives of people who listen regularly, and those who just happen to listen at just the right time, that hear exactly what they need to hear, at exactly the right time. As I was driving to work I heard you say you were taking prayer requests. I needed prayer that day! I was grateful that I had someone to pray for me, and my situation. What they do not understand is that I did not feel as alone as I did a few hours before and things did not look as bleak as they did before. It gave me hope!"

Greg: "My wife died on the seventh of this month. I have been grieving and not really being able to express it. One day you played Just Breathe by Jonny Diaz. I can see her at the feet of our Father, or even in His lap. Thank you for being there."

Melissa: "The Wind helped me when I was in a low point with doubt of whose daughter I was. Your songs lifted me up and reminded me who my father is, thank you and God bless you all."

Christina: "I'm listening to the station on my phone while I'm at work. The last poem that as read was awesome. It hits home. I also teared up. Great job. Thanks for always being part of my day. When it is stressful, which is the majority of the time, I turn the The Wind on and I can fill the peace surround me."

Missy: "I want to say thank you for creating such a wonderful station to listen to. I can be honest and say, I never really thought my car's radio station would be set to a christian music station. Not that I never listened to it, it's just that when we would get in the car it was usually set to something one of my teenage children had set it to, so it would just stay. Now, they know not to touch the dial. There have been a lot of changes like this in our lives in the last 8 months. It's so nice to be able to listen to positive and encouraging words every day. It has been your station, and some other pretty powerful stations that have helped get us through what has honestly been the hardest and worst thing to happen to our family. It has been the songs playing that honestly carried me through. I understand that they're just songs and it was God that gave us the miracle we needed, but it was the songs we could hear that often reminded us God was right there with us. It was through songs so many times, that messages from God were being sent. It's not a coincidence when EVERY song that we needed to hear (that would have the certain message) would play at the EXACT moment we needed it."
