PRAISE 106.5 Moments

Picture this: scientists spend years studying human behavior across continents, cultures, and time zones… only to officially confirm what every mom has been silently broadcasting since the dawn of creation. Apparently, no matter where you go—from Norway’s fjords to the bottom edge of Argentina—everyone instinctively understands The Look. You know the one. The “I saw what you just did, and I am dee...

There’s just something about an Easter sunrise service that hits different—maybe it’s the coffee, maybe it’s the cold air, or maybe it’s the reminder that the Son really did rise. Lynette and Pastor Tom are inviting Whatcom County to bundle up, show up, and celebrate Jesus as the resurrection and the life at the NW WA Fairground bleachers bright and early. If you’re craving hope, community, and a...

A heartfelt congratulations to Martha, whose March Gladness has truly touched our hearts! "I am so thankful that we serve a God who is abundant in his grace, love, and mercy."  Thank you for reminding us of the ultimate gladness we have in God! Martha will be receiving a Walton Beverage Gladness Box, which includes an instant camera, picnic basket, prayer journal, conversation game, and Dick’s Spo...

Ever wondered what truly fuels the male ego? According to Brant, it’s not bench‑pressing a small car or having biceps that enter the room before you do — it’s the sacred art of carrying every single grocery bag in one trip, fingers turning purple but pride fully intact. Brant explains that while he may not be “weight‑room strong,” he is absolutely “haul‑17‑bags‑from‑the‑car strong,” which, in his...

If you're struggling to know, why should I even pray? I understand feeling that way. I thought that way growing up. "Well, He already knows everything about what's going on." But that's looking at it mathematically almost, through this hyper logical lens. The truth is you actually read the Bible, you find God being really responsive in conversation with people. Read the conversation He has with Mo...

Brant, our resident “shock jock” who is only shocking in the sense that he occasionally remembers historical dates, kicks things off by retelling the story of one glorious day in 1930 when the BBC basically shrugged, said “Yeah… nothing’s happening,” and filled the news slot with piano music instead. This concept Sherri immediately endorses because honestly, who among us wouldn’t trade today’s hea...

People do not decide their futures, they decide their habits and their habits decide their futures. -F.M. Alexander We all love dreaming about our future selves, but Brant & Sherri remind us that it’s our everyday habits—not the big plans—that quietly steer the ship. Even if they’re not totally sure who FM Alexander is, they’re all in on the idea that what we repeatedly think and do shapes whe...

Some situations practically beg for us to jump in and fix them, even when they’re not really ours to manage. Brant & Sherri remind us that pausing to ask whether our involvement actually helps can save a lot of stress. And for those who lean on faith, sometimes the wisest move is stepping back and trusting God to handle what we don’t need to carry.

If you’ve ever wondered what happens when you mix flashing lights, unlimited tickets, and other people’s children, Brant & Sherri have the answer—and it apparently involves police sirens. Turns out Chuck E. Cheese isn’t just serving pizza; it’s serving full‑blown gladiator energy.

Brant and Sherri kick things off by unpacking the boldest customer‑service move in fast‑food history: the Burger King CEO handing out his phone number like a coupon. Naturally, Brant treats this as an invitation, leaving Tom a voicemail pitching the greatest crossover in fast‑food history—buying Grimace, the big purple free agent McDonald’s keeps forgetting they have, and crowning him the new Burg...

Brant and Sherri have breaking news that suggests animals are about three weeks away from running the justice system: eight llamas in England allegedly surrounded a fleeing thief, screamed their official llama siren, and then calmly escorted him to police like woolly hall monitors with badges. Sherri questions the legitimacy of Brant's news, but of course Brant is absolutely convinced it is, and t...

A bus ride took a hard left turn into disco-fueled chaos when one passenger put “Freak Out” on repeat—prompting several grandmas to do exactly that. Brant swears everyone survived, but the song definitely didn’t.

Paul’s humility hits differently when you remember he wrote most of the New Testament, yet never once did he try to brand himself as “The Apostle Paul.” Instead, he chose titles like servant of Christ and even chief of sinners, reminding us that greatness in God’s kingdom is never about spotlight or status. It’s a quiet nudge to lay down our own need to be impressive, and pick up the joy of simply...

Bart Millard is back with a brand‑new chapter of storytelling, and this time I Can Only Imagine 2 dives into the real‑life journey behind “Even If” and his family’s battle with his son’s early diabetes diagnosis. Between the movie and his new book, Bart shows how faith, honesty, and a whole lot of heart can turn even the hardest seasons into something beautifully redemptive.

It’s completely normal to feel like a tough season is never going to end. When life is heavy, it’s hard to imagine anything different. But the heart of this message is a gentle reminder: if you’re trusting God, you’re not stuck. Better days are coming. Not just a little better—layer‑after‑layer better, like stepping into a bigger, brighter world each time. We get small glimpses of joy here, hints...

There’s something special about hearing artists you love talk honestly about life, faith, and the moments that shape them. From healing after an unexpected injury to making music that reminds us God meets us in every valley, Crowder brings both humor and heart. As they gear up for the Hits Deep Tour with TobyMac and Jeremy Camp this weekend, he shares stories that point back to God’s goodness in t...

Jeremy Camp is stepping into this season with a renewed spark, fresh off some intense health battles, including two heart ablations and a tough knee surgery that left him feeling stronger than ever. Now he’s back on the road with TobyMac’s Hit Deep Tour alongside Crowder, soaking up the camaraderie and pouring his heart into every show. The concert is close to selling out - Get yours here: https:/...

There’s something so sweet about the way kids proudly hand you their drawings—no perfection, no pressure, just pure connection. In this episode, Brant and Sherri use that simple moment to remind us that prayer works the same way: God isn’t grading our words or waiting for us to “get it right.” Like a loving parent, He delights in the effort, the honesty, and the heart behind every prayer we bring.

We all have moments when God feels far away, like we’re sending up a long‑distance call and hoping He picks up. But in this episode, Brant & Sherri remind us of a much gentler truth: God isn’t distant at all—He’s as close as your next breath. The kingdom of heaven is right here, and God is already near, simply waiting for us to turn toward Him.

Some days we have time for long, lingering prayers—and other days all we can manage is a quick, “ Lord, I need You .” The beautiful thing is that Scripture reminds us those short, specific, urgent prayers still matter deeply. Whether you’re walking into a tough meeting, facing a hard conversation, or just trying to get through the day, a simple, honest cry for help is enough to bring God right int...

Sometimes we’re so quick to overlook our own worth, brushing off the idea that we matter as much as everyone else seems to. But the truth is quieter and far more beautiful: you’re here because God wanted you here. You’re part of His vision for a world filled with beauty, peace, and purpose, and your presence in it is no accident.

Congrats to Kim and David—our Love Is on the Air Winners! They’re getting a sweet overnight getaway, dinner at Bow & Stern, and even a little Amazon shopping spree for any last‑minute Valentine’s Day touches, thanks to our friends at Walton Beverage! Here is the sweet entry that melted our hearts: "Love Our 40 years together. We were young and full of hope, and we had everything the world had...

Lynette sat down with Barry Graul from MercyMe, and he's here to remind us that God’s wonder can still break through our busy, coffee‑fueled lives—and sometimes that comes by way of a guitar riff! Their new album, Wonder and Awe, leans into joy and rediscovering the beauty of God’s creation, all while the legacy of “I Can Only Imagine” continues tugging at our hearts. With the Abbotsford concert o...

Stepping into faith for the first time can feel both exciting and overwhelming, and Brant offers three simple, grounding reminders that speak right to the heart. He encourages new believers to tuck God’s Word into memory so it can steady and guide them in everyday moments, to lean into community because we were never meant to walk this journey alone, and to keep your eyes on God rather than the im...
