With keynote speaker Christina Bennett sharing her own powerful journey, it's a night of hope, purpose, and celebration you won’t want to miss.Click PLAY to listen!
Brant boldly declares Baby Shark the worst song ever, claiming it was “designed in a lab and then deployed”—possibly as psychological warfare. Sherri defends humanity against Lamb Chops, "The Song That Never Ends", but even she admits it never reached the same level of global, brain-numbing domination.
Brant and Sherri explore Jesus’ promise of a rich and satisfying life from John 10, pointing out that it’s not just a future hope—it’s available right now. No need to earn it or fix yourself first; this life comes with freedom from fear, healing from shame, and real transformation, starting today.
Brant and Sherri dive into a surprising stat: while there are 250 million cars in the U.S., there are a whopping 2 billion parking spaces—eight for every vehicle—yet we still can’t find one when we need it. Click PLAY for a hilarious reminder that having too much of something doesn’t help if it’s all in the wrong place (we’re looking at you, abandoned strip mall parking lots).
When faced with toxic people, it can be tempting to respond with frustration—but what if the path to peace lies in praying for theirs?
In a world where silence too often shields injustice, voices like Rachael Denhollander’s shine as powerful beacons of hope and change. On September 18th, McIntyre Hall in Mount Vernon will welcome Rachael—an abuse survivor, advocate, and the first woman to publicly speak out against the abuse within the U.S. gymnastics team—for an evening dedicated to awareness, education, and healing.This special event invites the community to come together, learn how to prevent sexual abuse, and discover meaningful ways to support survivors. With compassion, courage, and clarity, Rachael will shed light on the realities of abuse—affecting 1 in 4 children and women in college-age groups—and share how we can all play a role in creating safe, informed, and empowered communities. It's more than an event—it’s a step toward breaking the silence, and building a future where every voice is heard, and every child is protected.
Sean shares how an unexpected pregnancy, a powerful word from a stranger, and the grace of God led him from addiction to 13 years of sobriety.I was a raging alcoholic for many years and I tried to quit numerous times on my own. So, my wife, who had a 5% chance of getting pregnant, got pregnant. Not a good spot for an alcoholic to be in. I went to a meeting, God put this guy in my life, and he said, "That little girl never has to see you drunk." And at that time, it wasn't about me anymore. It was about her. And God knew that that's exactly what I needed to hear to change my life. And I quit drinking that day,She turned 12 on May 5th, and I'll celebrate 13 years this October, and she will never meet that guy. Every song brings you back to what really matters. No matter what you're going through, whether you're driving or sitting at home having a rough day, the music reinforces what's number one in your life, and what should be. The Book says, don't worry, I got you. You just seek the comfort and peace in that, in the Word of God.The music and message on PRAISE 106.5 is helping change lives. Will you consider supporting the ongoing mission of PRAISE 106.5 today?
So apparently, Heinz and Smoothie King teamed up to create... a ketchup smoothie. Yep. A ketchup smoothie. Because when I think “refreshing post-workout beverage,” I definitely think tomato condiment.Sherri and I were just trying to figure out who exactly asked for this. Was there a rogue ketchup enthusiast out there blending bottles of Heinz with ice and thinking, “You know what this needs? Corporate backing.”? Look, we love Heinz. We love Smoothie King. But maybe... not together. Like socks and sandals.
So, Sherri and I are here to talk about the church nursery—you know, that mysterious back room where small humans go in with goldfish crackers and come out with glitter in their hair and someone else’s socks. Anyway, we got on the topic of the little number system they use to alert parents mid-service. You’ve seen it: you're deep in worship, and suddenly—bing!—your kid’s number lights up on the screen like they just won something at Chuck E. Cheese.Naturally, I had a thought (as one does): what if we made this… competitive? Like, put some stakes on it. Who’s gonna get called out first? Who's melting down by the second song? Imagine people nudging each other in the pews—“I got five on 47. That kid looked shifty at drop-off.”Of course, Sherri—because she’s Sherri—takes it even further. She’s imagining full-on nursery odds and halftime commentary. “Ooh, #32’s overdue for a blowout, folks. This could be the week!”Look, I'm not saying we should turn church into a Vegas sportsbook... but I’m also not not saying that.
I know... It’s a bold statement—but one I believe we desperately need to hear. Distraction isn’t just a productivity problem—it’s a spiritual one. We live in a world that thrives on noise, hurry, and endless scrolling. But all that surface-level busyness? It’s not just exhausting. It’s dangerous. It keeps us from what matters most: intimacy with God, real joy, deep relationships, and the quiet clarity of the Spirit’s voice.If you’ve ever felt like your soul is restless, constantly pulled in a dozen directions—you’re not alone. But maybe, just maybe, that restlessness is a signal. A holy discontent. A reminder that your soul was made for more.
If you've ever wondered whether raising your eyebrows at someone can change the world—good news: Brant Hansen is here to confirm it. Brant and Sherri dive eyebrow-first into the creative process behind Brant's new song, "You're Welcome." The song explores the tiny, blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moments—like a nod, a smile, or yes, eyebrow choreography—that quietly build human connection. Brant talks inspiration, Sherri brings the appreciation, and together they unpack how music can make us feel seen, heard, and slightly more okay about being awkward in public.Click PLAY to listen to the full song. You're welcome.
For over 100 years, Lighthouse Mission in Bellingham has been a steady beacon of hope—and this summer, their compassion is on the move. Led by Hans, the team is hitting the streets on electric scooters, meeting people where they are to offer water, connection, and a path forward.As summer heat brings added risks like dehydration, the Lighthouse Mission is helping rebuild trust and invite those in need back to a place of safety, care, and transformation.
When tragedy struck All Nations Full Gospel Church in Surrey—a devastating fire reducing their building to ashes—what could have been the end became a powerful new beginning. Pastor Noemie shares with Lynette how through heartbreak, the church family clung to the promise of Isaiah 61:3: that God brings beauty from ashes.Meeting now in the Holiday Inn Surrey, their spirit is unshaken, and their faith has only deepened. To celebrate hope, healing, and the road to rebuilding, the church is hosting a free concert, Rising from the Ashes, on Saturday, August 9th—an uplifting evening of music, dance, and unbreakable faith.
From heartfelt devotionals to gripping fiction, award-winning author Cheryl Grey Bostrom has woven her personal journey and love for the natural world into every word she writes. In her upcoming psychological mystery, What the River Keeps, Cheryl explores themes of faith, forgiveness, and generational healing—set against the haunting beauty of the Olympic Peninsula.With her book launch just around the corner on August 12th, readers can look forward to special events, readings, and deeper conversations about the stories that shape us.

There’s something special happening in the Lower Mainland of Canada, and it’s echoing across our airwaves hear at PRAISE 106.5! Meet Homecoming—a fresh new band born from deep friendships, shared faith, and a heart for the Church. What began as a simple idea quickly grew into a vibrant collective of about ten members spanning cities like Surrey, Kelowna, Langley, Maple Ridge, and Comox.Abi from Homecoming shares with Lynette about their debut single, “The Cost Given For Us,” a powerful reflection on the sacrifice of Jesus and the gratitude it stirs in believers. Their music is heartfelt, worshipful, and intentionally crafted to uplift and equip the Church today.Press PLAY to hear what promises to be a meaningful journey!
Story out of China where a bank robber decided the best disguise was… to be a tree. It almost worked but somewhere between “photosynthesis” and “please give me the money,” the would-be oak outed himself by talking. The second the “tree” opened its mouth, the bank teller knew something was up—because trees don’t typically make withdrawals.So let this be a lesson to all aspiring botanic burglars: if you're going to blend in, maybe skip the monologue. Or better yet… maybe just don't rob banks. 🌳💸🚫Also, for the record, Brant and Sherri remain firmly against crime… and talking trees.
Prayer makes you more honest.It’s easy to fall into patterns when we pray — repeating familiar phrases, offering vague requests, and treating the whole thing like a spiritual formality.But what happens when we stop performing and start getting honest? Brant shares how a simple morning prayer shifted his perspective, reminding him that God isn’t looking for polished speeches—He’s inviting real conversation.Whether it’s asking for help with a radio show or the strength to support others, he explores the beauty and power of being direct, sincere, and human in prayer.
Have you heard about the unofficial 'ministry' of correcting people? You know—the one with long hours, no pay, and definitely no health plan.At first, it feels noble. Like you’re saving the world one long drawn out “Actually…” at a time. But after a few debates, three ignored texts, and one stranger on the internet telling you to “calm down,” it starts to feel less like ministry and more like spiritual customer service—with no tips.We’re not saying never speak up—but maybe, just maybe, not every hill is worth climbing. Especially if Carl from Facebook is waiting at the top.
