PRAISE 106.5 Moments

Eugene Peterson's quote got me to sit up straight and prioritize my prayer relationship with God. Here's what he said: "People are too busy to meet with God because they're lazy. They let others decide what they do rather than deciding for themselves." If I want a relationship with God I'll make time. It's pretty simple. - Brant Listen to the convo below.

We can have a tendency to think of God's will in a narrow way. He gives us wide latitude and has an eye on who we're becoming. Great thoughts here - Take a listen for the full discussion.

Seriously, why do people do this to themselves? The latest rage is taking a 90 second ice-cold shower. We ask, why? Please. Why. -Brant

No matter what job you have you can find something to complain about. But here's the thing, if you have the choice to view it as good, or not, how about choosing the positive? Whatever you're doing is helping someone, it has purpose, and we're grateful for what you do. We hope today that you can see it as a blessing, even if it's not your dream job. Listen to Brant's words of wisdom - We think you...

Brant had a hard time getting this story out. It's a true story about a man who ordered a meal for his upcoming flight, but unfortunately, disappointingly, he selected the gluten-free meal which ended up being surprisingly "light" on food. You just have to listen.

We're not sure why we're the goat news outlet on breaking goat news but it appears that we are... A Salem Oregon goat keeper was fired because the goats he was tending to had a "barnyard aroma." Apparently the city officials were surprised that the goats would actually "smell" like goats. This confuses us. As you're listening to this, please feel free to yell out your opinions. We're right here wa...

Have you heard about these?? Brant and Sherri discuss the challenges with these... It seems like there's a high likelihood of complete distraction. Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

Seventeen year old Miles, who has Asperger's, wrote Brant to ask how to make friends. Brant shares his experience as a kid, also dealing with Asperger's, and how prayer was his pivoting point. Take a listen below.

It was a good and valiant effort but goals may not have been met. Brant has the scoop on a researcher who tried to go off coffee.

Ask yourself, do you really want Christmas to be marred by arguing? Apparently a Dad in Croatia had a major disagreement with his son and took his response up a notch. Brant shares the story and wonders... was it worth it?

Find out from Brant what the appropriate amount of trips to the buffet is to an all-you-can-eat buffet. It seems the name should say it all but apparently there is some dissension with restaurant managers. Listen and find out their magic number.

If you're feeling stressed about buying gifts this year, let your kids see how you handle it responsibly... be honest about the situation and communicate so they understand. This sets a great example for them and is a gift for years to come if they run into the same struggle. Sherri makes the point however that a lot of kids won't be happy with what Brant's saying, lol.

Have you heard this? Have you seen this? Did you buy one? Take a listen to this story on what people are finding when buying their Cadbury Christmas stocking chocolate this year!

The act of praying, whether it's eloquent or stumbling over your thoughts & words, our Father hears you. He completely understands your heart and all the feelings you're trying to express. He does not expect perfection. The act of coming to Him in prayer draws you closer, helping knit together a stronger reliance and need of togetherness with Him. Even in simple tears He knows all the words of...

Well, Brant's gone and done it again (apply that in any way it best fits). For your listening pleasure we have a delightful Brant Hansen holiday song. He describes it as "heartwarming", "Christmassy", "feels like the holidays," but honestly though, this can be used throughout the year. It's a song to help usher people out the door at any given time. As always, please listen and comment below with...

Christmas is a busy time and Brant has a song on his heart about how busy we get. Sherri patiently listens. Apparently the message is clear. You decide - Please comment below with your thoughts.

It looks like the NFL has relaxed their rules on celebrating touchdowns & big plays. Brant and Sherri have a few words about this as it relates to board games and such. Apparently there was an incident. Please listen.

Brant received a voicemail from a grandma thanking him for being an example for her autistic grandson. Listen to his advice for young adults, particularly with autism but really, just about anyone.

There is an interesting little Christmas survey out. Some people want to put their decorations up before Thanksgiving, however the majority is after. Funny thing though, they found an interesting little twist to the results, and Brant has the details. Take a listen for a funny tale on human beings. Where did you fit into these results?

Are you in a hurry all the time? Hurry cuts us off from God, other people, and even from our own soul because we're distracted and not functioning like we normally would. Love, joy & peace is what makes life full. Peace doesn't fit into the rhythm of hurry.

Let me get this right. Multiple coffee companies did a study to find out if people need coffee or not. Turns out they found out that we do! Listen to the full convo here.

Judging people takes up a lot of time & it's an energy sapper. What insight do you think you really have on others but more importantly, God is the one to sort out all the things. It's not our job to judge.
