PRAISE 106.5 Moments

Diving into one of life’s greatest tragedies today: unflattering photos on Facebook. Brant’s heartfelt new song, “Please Take Down That Picture of Me ,” captures the raw pain of looking like Fred Flintstone in a tag gone wrong. Sherri delivers the lyrics with all the drama they deserve, while Brant admits this might be his most emotionally honest work yet. Because nothing says vulnerability like a...

Brant and Sherri tackle the age-old struggle: loving snacks but wanting abs. They cheer for the new Snickerdoodle Twix (because, obviously, delicious), but also wonder if launching more sugary temptations is the best move when society’s already losing the salad vs. snack battle. In short: our taste buds say “YAY,” but our waistlines say “WHY.”

In a world that idolizes fame and intellect, celebrities and scholars, it might seem strange that God would work through "bronze age camel herders" or humble folks from Galilee. But Scripture tells a different story — one where God deliberately chooses the unlikely, the overlooked, the everyday person to carry out His plans. With God, it’s not about status — it’s about surrender.

Brant highlights the importance of faithfully tending to the responsibilities and relationships God has placed directly in our lives—what he describes as "tending the garden you're given." Don't be swayed by the noise of outside pressures or the expectations others may try to place on us, as these distractions can cause us to overlook the people and tasks God has specifically entrusted to our care...

Brant: It's kind of weird in church culture or Christianity or whatever you want to call it. A lot of times we'll talk about anything but Jesus; like everything else but Him, which is really odd. I mean, He's the reason I'm a believer. And same thing with Sherri. So we thought, Hey, let's highlight some Jesus stuff rather than just talk politics or whatever. Maybe talk about Him. So we were thinki...

Brant explores the concept of brokenness and humility in the context of church culture, emphasizing that while many people describe themselves as broken, true transformation requires repentance and rethinking one's life in light of this brokenness. Simply acknowledging brokenness without seeking change can lead to pride rather than humility. Click PLAY as Brant illustrates this using the story whe...

Yesterday, I spent time with old friends in the tulip fields in Skagit Valley. We also made new friends and prayed with them in the fields surrounded by God's glorious creation...such a sweet time. 

It's never too late to turn toward God. His goodness and unwavering pursuit of humanity despite our flaws and sin is constant. There's a common misconception that God is ashamed or angry with us, but God's persistent love and closeness, even when we fall short, does not end. I hope you find Him, and lean in. You are loved.

Hey, here's a reminder, and this is something I have to remind myself of, and I thought you too, because I think you're human like me, and that is the worst thing that we can do with our lives... the worst thing that we can do in our lives, the biggest mistake that we can make is to walk away from God in shame. There's all sorts of things we can do wrong and have done wrong, if you're like me, but...

I don't know if you're struggling today with your work, but if you are, I found this quote from Elisabeth Elliot that I thought was so good. And by work I mean it may be your career, it may be just a job or it may be parenting... just the work that you have in your life to do. I love her attitude. This is what she would tell herself. This job has been given to me to do. Therefore, it is a gift. Th...

Ran across this quote again, and it hits me every time. Macrina Wiederkehr came up with this. She wrote, "Oh God, help me to believe the truth about myself no matter how beautiful." And that stopped me in my tracks when I saw it because the first thing we think is our brokenness. But He still wants us, we're still made in His image. At the end of the day, we're beautifully made. He actually enjoys...
