PRAISE 106.5 Moments

Sometimes the most meaningful conversations start with a simple question. When I noticed my friend Andy O'Shea's windowsill covered in heart-shaped rocks, I had to know the story behind them. What he shared was a beautiful reminder that what we look for in life often shapes what we find, and that God's fingerprints of love can show up in the most unexpected places. Click PLAY for the heart-shaped...

Social media can easily become a place for noise, frustration, and endless opinions, but it can also be a powerful tool for good. What if, instead of simply scrolling, we used our platforms to encourage others, share what we love about Jesus, and bring a little more joy into someone's day? Click PLAY for Brant's three simple ideas that can make a meaningful difference on social media.

I love hearing stories of how God brings people together, and that's exactly what happened with Homecoming. What started as a group of friends serving in ministry became a worship band creating music that's touching lives across Canada and beyond. I had so much fun catching up with Abi about their journey, their music, and what you can expect when they take the stage. Homecoming will be in concert...

We're pleased to announce our Bless Your Pastor Winner for 2026: Pastor Doug! Janice nominated Pastor Doug and here is what she said: For 29 years, Pastor Doug Wiebe has faithfully preached the gospel at our church. Through changing seasons and the transitions that many churches experience, he has never wavered in pointing us to Jesus and the truth of God’s Word. I appreciate the steady, faithful...

It's easy to get caught up in the frustrations of everyday life, but one simple truth can change everything: God loves us deeply, and He loves the people around us too. When we keep that at the front of our minds, patience comes easier, grace grows deeper, and our responses begin to reflect His heart. Click PLAY for a heart nudge!

Most of us treat weather forecasts like background noise until a hurricane, snowstorm, or wind advisory suddenly has us checking updates every five minutes. Brant & Sherri imagine weather forecasters rolling their eyes and saying, "Oh... now you care about us?" I mean, they're not wrong. Click PLAY below to listen.

Sometimes the people God brings into our lives become unexpected gifts. Brant reflects on the unique blessing of a loving stepparent and the beautiful reminder that love isn't divided when families grow, it simply makes room for more gratitude.

You know fall has officially arrived when candy corn starts showing up everywhere, and suddenly everyone has a very strong opinion about it. Whether you're stocking up on bags of it or wondering how anyone actually enjoys it, this is a reminder that some fall traditions are as polarizing as they are iconic. Click PLAY to begin the debate!

Have you ever found yourself wishing God would just spell out the next step? Sometimes we make God's will more complicated than it needs to be. Scripture points us back to a simple daily posture: choosing joy, staying connected to Him through prayer, and cultivating gratitude no matter what life looks like.

As another flood season approaches, many families in our community are carrying questions, concerns, and memories from the floods of recent years. That's why a local gathering called Flood Heaven with Prayer is bringing believers together on September 27 at Riverside Park in Everson for an afternoon of worship, prayer, encouragement, and hope. Click PLAY to listen to hear more on the one message t...

There's something special about gathering together for a weekend of worship, encouragement, and community. I had the chance to chat with Pastor William Reyes about Called and Chosen, a free three-day event in Bellingham that welcomes the whole family to experience powerful worship, an inspiring message, and a reminder that God has a purpose for each of us. Click PLAY below for the details!

Have you ever discovered that something you were absolutely convinced was true... wasn't? That's what happened to me when I learned that bulls don't actually get angry at the color red, and suddenly I'm questioning my childhood education. Click PLAY to listen to our fascinating conversation about myths, assumptions, and cartoon "facts" we grew up believing. 

The Presidential Physical Fitness Test Trauma Every time someone mentions running a mile, I'm instantly transported back to middle school and the Presidential Physical Fitness Test, otherwise known as the annual event designed to humble kids in front of their classmates. As Sherri shared her CrossFit mile story, we both agreed that sometimes success isn't about setting a record, it's simply crossi...

Worry is something we all wrestle with, whether it's about our kids, our future, our finances, or the unknowns of tomorrow. A reminder for all of us is that while Jesus tells us we don't need to carry those burdens, He also isn't shaming us when we do. Instead, He gently invites us to hand our worries over to Him and trust that He's already holding the future in His hands.

Have you ever been accused of “doing nothing” while relaxing on the couch? Let me just tell you something: my body is currently busy moving trillions of blood cells at incredible speeds, thank you very much. Of course Sherri has to point out that none of those blood cells are doing the dishes. This is generally the time when it's best to roll over, face the back of the couch, and pretend you're as...

If you're a single mom, you know the weight of carrying so much on your shoulders every day. That's why Valley Church's Made Worthy event is such a beautiful reminder that you are seen, loved, and valued by God. With free lunch, gifts, boutique shopping, encouragement, activities for the kids, and even practical help like a car wash, this special day is designed to help single moms take a deep bre...

As the weather starts to cool and kids outgrow last year's coats, here's a simple way to make a big difference. Amee's annual Community Coat Drive is collecting coats, hats, gloves, scarves, boots, and other warm winter gear throughout September to help neighbors in need stay warm this winter! Your gently used items could become a blessing for a local family and a reminder that our community cares...

I love a good sci-fi question because sometimes the weirdest hypotheticals reveal the most about who we are. So when I was asked whether I'd give up one IQ point in exchange for hitting green lights for the rest of my life, I thought the answer would be easy... until Sherri reminded me that parents actually need red lights to retrieve sippy cups, stuffed animals, and apparently the last remaining...

Sometimes all it takes is a little persistence, a great guess, and being the right caller at just the right time!

There are moments when my heart aches for people who are searching for meaning, peace, or simply a reason to keep going. I wish everyone could experience the freedom that comes from knowing how deeply loved they are by God. When you view life through the lens of God's love, it changes everything. Click PLAY for encouragement I offered a friend who was looking for direction. Maybe it'll help you to...

Ever feel like you've cracked a secret life hack the rest of the grocery store hasn't discovered? Brant is convinced he has. It might save you a few steps, a little frustration, and maybe even earn you the title of Parking Lot Genius. Click PLAY for his grocery store parking lot life hack!

It's easy to slip into thinking that faith is mostly about following the rules, checking the right boxes, and trying not to mess up. But Jesus invites us into something much deeper: a life marked by love. As important as right actions are, Scripture reminds us that when love is missing, even our best efforts can miss the heart of what God truly desires.

We spend a lot of time dreaming about the day when technology does all the work for us. But here's the funny thing: people are spending millions of hours playing video games where they power wash sidewalks, mow lawns, run farms, stock store shelves, and even manage a 1990s video rental shop. Apparently, after a long day of work, we like to unwind by pretending to do... more work. Maybe that's beca...

There are days when it feels like the world is working overtime to keep us anxious. Everywhere we turn, we're told what to worry about next. I've noticed something simple and powerful though: fear and love don't grow well in the same space. When I stop focusing on what's making me afraid and start praying for the people or situations weighing on my heart, that fear begins to lose its grip and God'...
