Afternoons with Sonny

Do phones belong in classrooms? No, says Mary Garza, a teacher who conducted an experiment to see just how distracted kids are in the classroom. For one class period, she had her students turn their phones on loud, and every time they received a notification they went up and put a tally mark under the correct category of phone apps. This was one class, one period. Every one of these tally marks is...

My friend September posted this on Facebook and I felt like I needed to share with you if you have children! “Dear Moms, This is for all of you. Never feel justified in covering up your child’s problems. Casting blame on others or excusing your child’s behavior because it must be someone else’s fault. Our children need us to see their problems before someone else does. And when they do something w...

Have you been stressed out as of lately? How about we try something together. I just came across this 5-4-3-2-1 stress buster. Doing all of them is supposed to shift your attention to your senses, helping you feel more focused on the present and less focus on your stressor. Ready?

Sonny sat down to have a conversation with an old friend recently, and we think you'd be encouraged to hear what they talked about!

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.

Remember the old song "They will know we are Christians by our love"? Well you can be a good neighbor by show faith, hope, AND love! The KCBI Faith Hope Love Experiment is a kindness movement, and you get to play a part! Buy someone’s coffee… pay for a meal… help a neighbor with a chore… or just pass along a note of encouragement to a friend and include the card! It will tell them why you care, wh...

As some of you may know, I had the opportunity to spend a week in Poland as a result of our KCBI Day Of Hope with my new friends, Texas Baptist Men. I am pleased to let you know that I am home safe and I can’t wait to continue to share the stories I’ve experienced of the brave souls who have been God’s hands and feet in action for the Ukrainian refugees. They brought carloads of people into Poland...

As some of you may know as a result of the KCBI Day of Hope, our own Sonny Delfyette joined the Texas Baptist Men this week in Poland for 90.9 KCBI FM supplying shelters for Ukrainians fleeing the war. Today, Sonny and the Texas Baptist Men had the chance to sit down with the President of the Polish Baptist Union and pray with him for the needs of those affected by this situation.

Today marks the first day of Lent but maybe you're wondering what does that mean for me? Lent is the beginning of 40 days of prayer, fasting, and generosity that ends on the Thursday, known as Holy Thursday, leading up to Easter. And it’s more than just giving up sweets or meat. It’s to go without something that you’d miss, something you need to rely on God to fill the void for. I have an idea: Wh...

After 2 full months of long distance living, my wife and I are finally all moved in to our home in Dallas!! Lesson learned: always get a truck that’s too big rather than too small. If not, you might have to sell and giveaway a bunch of your stuff that just wouldn't fit. But in middle of having to say goodbye to some of our belongings, there actually ended up being a few blessings, like Amber. Ambe...

“If you see a problem, fix it.” That’s the simplicity with which Orion Jean speaks about his work, Race to Kindness, from his home in Mansfield, TX. Just 11 years old, Jean has been selected from a field of thousands of nominees as TIME’s Kid of the Year for 2021 for . Whether it’s collecting and donating 100,000 meals to food insecure families across the country, or getting 500,000 books to kids...

If you remember one thing from today, I hope it's a balloon. Random, I know. But I have a story. There's a teacher who wanted to make a point to her students. So she went out, bought a bunch of balloons, and distributed them to every student in the entire school. From there, he asked each student to blow up their balloons, write their name on them, and throw it into a hallway. Teachers then went i...

Thanks for the company on 90.9 KCBI! I am honored to be married to my best friend for 25 years now, she’s still my crush, the mother of our child, in fact I flirt with her too much she said. She told me “if you never complimented me another day in my life I already know how you feel,” and when I saw another brother in-Christ share his love for his wife and how he compliments her daily I had to sha...

Big Daddy Weave will be in the DFW next Friday February 11th for their concert at Sunnyvale Baptist Church and today I had to the opportunity to talk on the phone with Mike Weaver, the lead singer of Big Daddy Weave. We talked about life, Jesus, music, and the legacy of his late brother and band member, Jay Weaver. Praise God. I hope this conversation is as big of blessing to as it was to me. -Son...

Temperatures tonight are expected to drop into the low 20’s with a chance for freezing rain, sleet and snow. Roads could be icy, and there may be some power issues, so plan ahead and get your essentials just in case! To prepare, we've brought in WFAA's Weather Expert Pete Delkus to prepare us for the next couple of days -Sonny

Good Afternoon from your friend in the Afternoons, Sonny, a man on DFW’s own 90.9 KCBI, who is about to tell you the 3 things that a woman should stop wearing after the age of 40. Oh boy, okay here we go. The #3 thing a woman over 40 should stop wearing is….The weight of other people’s expectations and judgements Ladies, the #2 thing to stop wearing is….The weight of other people’s expectations an...

My name is Sonny and I’ve had a few people say that I live up to my name, which is an honor, but I come from a family of prayer warriors. My mom, my aunts, my cousins would lift me in prayer in my knucklehead days asking God to protect me as I was living a very wayward lifestyle. Then God sent me a woman who was truly filled with grace, a woman who I believe was sent the calm the savage beast insi...

Sonny has been here a month. And you know what that means! Well, maybe you don’t. But it means it’s time to make sure he is on track to becoming a true Texan! Let’s see what he has learned…

Does life hurt? I saw this post from a Daniell Koepke that I believe someone needs to hear this afternoon. She said, “Your trauma is valid. Even if other people have experienced “worse”. Even if someone else who went through the same experience doesn’t feel debilitated by it. Even if it ‘could have been avoided’. Even if it happened a long time ago. Even if no one knows. Your trauma is real and va...

I have a story for you. A college professor walks in his classroom started off his lecture by holding up a $100.00 bill. In the room of 200 students, he asked, “Who would like this $100 bill?” Hands flew up in the air. He said, “I am going to give this $100 to one of you but first, let me do this.” He proceeded to crumple up the $100 dollar bill. He then asked, “Who still wants it…?” Still the han...

"Who can add to Christmas? The perfect motive is that God so loved the world. The perfect gift is that He gave His only Son. The only requirement is to believe in Him. And the reward of faith? Is that you shall have everlasting life." - Corrie ten Boom Merry Christmas from your friends here at 90.9 KCBI!

My name is Sonny Delfyette and I am the new Afternoon Show host here at KCBI! So a little something about me, I have been trying to join the KCBI family now for 9 YEARS! When I first applied 9 years ago, God said it wasn't the right timing. Then I tried applying the next year, God still said, "not yet." But here I am 9 years later and I can't wait to get to hang out with you each day in the Aftern...

God is seriously the best insurance policy out there. There's not a single incident that God can't and won't cover.

This past weekend, I was with some friends of mine who have 3 small children under the age of 3. I knew that the middle one, who is almost 2, wasn't feeling well. Sweet little boy walks up to his dad with his arms stretched out and in the matter of what seemed like a half a second, he did this combination of a sneeze, cough, and got sick down the front of his shirt followed by telling his dad that...

You may feel out of place a lot of the time, but I'm here to tell you that exactly how you should feel. Over the past 7 years since my husband passed away, I've moved around quite a bit. After a few stops, I got to Texas as fast as I could and as much as I love it, I have to admit I always feel a little out of place. But I think that's exactly where we should land as believers. We aren't residents...
