PRAISE 106.5 Moments

Lynette is sitting down with Gary Vis from the Lynden Chamber of Commerce to dive into all things Razz Fest 2026, July 17-18, the largest free-to-attend event in North Whatcom County: 3-on-3 basketball, car show, market tents, raspberries galore and more! This summer tradition turns downtown Lynden into a berry‑loving, music‑playing, car‑show‑cruising celebration, with everything from 200 basketba...

Taylor sits down with British Columbia’s Gina Moore, and right away you realize this isn’t your average “farm story.” Gina’s viral barn video captures the moment she rushed in to rescue her goat Donnie from a cougar. She was driven by the recent heartbreak of losing a miniature horse to a bear and was determined to not lose another animal. From her dog Lincoln’s perfectly timed warning to the spli...

Leaping out of a perfectly good airplane might sound a little wild, but the Leap of Faith fundraiser in Abbotsford turns that adrenaline rush into a joyful way to help local youth find safety and support through Cyrus Centre Ministries.  With jumpers from age eight to eighty‑six, food trucks, kids’ activities, and a whole lot of cheering from the ground, it’s the kind of event that reminds you how...

Some days I talk about Jesus while barely having the strength to get out of bed. Some days I’m showing up with a smile, and other days—like today—I’m showing in from the middle of the mess of depression, still learning how to breathe and trust God when the weight feels heavy. But maybe that’s exactly where His grace meets us, not after we’ve “fixed” everything, but right in the thick of the strugg...

Victory Beyond the Cup leans into the excitement of the World Cup that everyone is watching, but it’s really about how those shared moments of sports can spark conversations about hope and faith. From living‑room watch parties to churches handing out tens of thousands of kits and sharing halftime messages, people are finding connection and even turning to Jesus in the middle of all the cheering. C...

Brant here, reporting live from the front lines of Workplace Aromatic Warfare, where the air is thick with… well, everything. You know that moment when you walk into the office and immediately wonder if someone tried to baptize themselves in a vat of “Mountain Thunderstorm Noir”? Yeah, Sherri and I stumbled across a news item about folks begging their coworkers to tone down the cologne, and let me...

Doreen’s day got a whole lot brighter when Taylor called to tell her she’d won a $250 gas card from Lummi Bay Market — something she had literally been hoping for earlier that morning! Doreen shared a heartfelt reminder to “give it to God,” trusting that He shows up right when you need Him. It was one of those small, everyday moments that reminds you you’re not alone.

Lori’s day got an instant boost when Taylor called to let her know she’d won a $250 gas card from Praise 106.5 and Lummi Bay Market — a blessing she happily welcomed even while juggling work and another call. Their quick, heartfelt exchange was full of gratitude, love for the station, and the kind of everyday encouragement that reminds you how meaningful a small surprise can be.

Team Canada’s momentum on the field is exciting, but what’s even more inspiring is how many players, are boldly living out their faith in the spotlight. Pastor Jesse Bradley sits down with Taylor to share stories of athletes praying together, sharing Scripture, and pointing people to Jesus. A reminder that every platform, big or small, can be used for God’s glory.  Click PLAY for a soul-inspiring...

Sometimes God plants a vision long before we understand its purpose, and that’s exactly how Micah and Tammie’s “Jesus Bus” journey began — with simple acts of love, prayer, and showing up for people in need.

It’s a gift to know there are places where compassion meets people right where they are.

Here it is PRAISE 106.5 Family! What's YOUR best guess?!! Listen at 8:15am and 12:30 weekdays for your chance to guess!

Some days it feels like we’re supposed to have everything figured out, but God never asked us to know it all—He asked us to trust. The beauty of faith is that even when we don’t have every answer, we can rest in the One who does.

There’s something unbelievably freeing about realizing that God’s love isn’t a prize we earn but a gift that flows straight from who He is. When we finally stop trying to perform our way into His approval, the pressure lifts and gratitude takes its place.  And from that place of rest, we can simply say, “Lord, help me love You more,” knowing His love came first and never depends on our perfection.

If you’ve ever wished baseball games came with a little extra groove, the Bellingham Bell's Bell Peppers have you covered!

We’ve all bought something simple, like a garden hose, only to be asked for a full psychological evaluation survey afterward, and honestly, we can’t help laughing about it. As we peruse our way through the survey questions after my (Brant's) recent purchase, we broke the experience down to this: The store had the hose The buyer was thrilled The hose is now his “soul hose.” We think it's cool that...
