If you need a reminder today of God's never-ending love for you, may this help!

In 1986, 9-year-old Desireé Rodriguez was rescued from the Pacific Ocean by two fishermen after a shipwreck claimed the lives of her father, mother, aunt, uncle and sister.Thirty-five years later the good Samaritans, Paul Strasser and Mark Pisano, wondered whatever happened to the little girl and where asked to explain it to a Spanish translator... except that wasn't just a translator. It was the surprise of a lifetime, it was Desireé!

On Good Friday, they crucified Jesus, so what's good about it? Pastor S.M. Lockridge answered that with the powerful sermon, "It's Friday! But Sunday's Coming!" and Sonny reads it for you in this podcast! HAPPY Easter! He Is Risen! He Is Risen Indeed!

On this episode of Old Dad / New Dad, Sonny and Josh are discussing the multitude of ways that sacrifice impacts us both as fathers and as Christians this Holy Week.Thanks so much for listening to Old Dad / New Dad, brought to you by the KCBI Podcast Network.

In Rockland, Maine a 3-year-old and his mom stopped at the store. The little boy left his Spiderman bike outside and when they returned, it was gone!When the police made the story public, another superhero showed up to help out!

It's been a week since lives were lost in the shooting in Nashville, TN and stories continue to be shared in their memory. Mike Hill, better known as "Mr. Mike" to the students Covenant School, was the custodian and made an impact on so many including Nikki who shared how he came to her rescue.

Looking to find a little rest this weekend? God has got just the thing for you: Himself.

If you haven't heard how God grabbed Anne Wilson's heart, I think you'll love her testimony.She shares how a Sunday school teacher's love for Jesus helped her to accept Him as her Lord and Savior. How God used a tragic accident to encourage her to sing. Anne also shares thoughts on how you can get through a tough time and so much more.

My friend Doug from Middays here at KCBI shared something on our Facebook page yesterday that I don't want you to miss.His daughter is a teacher and mom of 3 in the Nashville area. She is holding her little ones at home and in the classroom a little tighter today.We continue to pray for God's mercy and comfort.

As we continue praying for the tragedy that struck earlier this week at Covenant Christian School in Nashville, we shouldn't be surprised that children lead the way in providing hope in the midst of the darkest of situations.

Going through hardship is not only hard, it's pretty inevitable. But it doesn't come without a purpose.

Many people want to be apart of our Faith Hope Love Expiriment at KCBI, but some aren't sure what to do...Just take a listen to what I saw happen in Garland yesterday and I think you'll have a better idea!

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...

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…

Living any amount of life means you've probably picked up a few bumps and bruises along with the way. Maybe even a couple scars. If you're ashamed of you scars, you don't have to be. They're just a reminder of where God has brought you from!

This week marks the start of Spring, so how about some spring cleaning?Just like we clean our homes, our souls could use the same type of refresher. Here are 3 things you can do to spring clean your soul.

The experience of heartbreak after the loss of a loved one is universal. God knows what it is to experience the sting of loss. He will always understand.

If you're feeling unloved today, I'm here to tell you that God has loved, loves you now, and will love forever and ever. Amen.-Sonny

Help! There’s a big debate our 90.9 KCBI Facebook Page 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

According to Billy Graham, the world needs you in a big way!
