SPIRIT 105.3 Moments

“I can do all things through Christ Who gives me strength!” - Philippians 4:13 “You take what the enemy meant for evil and turn it for good.” -Elevation Worship My son was a healthy teenager playing high school football when a cruel disease called ulcerative colitis (UC) took over his body and left him looking like a concentration camp victim. Today, he’s a walking miracle… praise God! Through yea...

Summer in the Puget Sound won’t feel quite the same knowing Wild Waves is splashing through its final season. For so many of us, that park was a rite of passage — sunburned shoulders, soggy towels in the backseat, and the thrill of finally being tall enough for the “big rides.” As the community gathers to celebrate 50 years of memories, this last chapter feels both tender and joyful, a chance to r...

Join us for a chat about...

God is building a stage in the city, and this little church is joyfully stepp...

Lauren from WSDOT turned the spotlight onto the Incident Response Team, real-life roadside angels. One day, IRT member Mick helped a stranded driver who turned out to be Mariners pitcher Logan Gilbert—his daughter’s favorite player! Cue the autograph and a little divine timing.

Peter Burton’s story hits home for anyone who’s ever felt held together by sheer willpower. In opening up about the anxiety, OCD, and fear that once ruled his life, he shares how Jesus met him in the mess, stitched his “broken pieces” back together, and sparked a song that feels more like a lifeline than a lyric. His journey—from therapy and gratitude habits to worship leading and fatherhood—remin...

Top Pot Doughnuts has always had a flair for happy accidents—after all, its name was born when a vintage “Top Spot” sign lost its 'S' on the drive up I‑5, inspiring brothers Mark and Michael Klebeck to embrace the situation and launch a hand‑forged doughnut empire built on “real stuff made by real people.” Nearly 25 years and 14 Puget Sound shops later, those doughnuts have become part of countles...

Pam from Silverdale just turned an ordinary workday into a life‑changing moment, winning $9,135 in the Spirit 105.3 Secret Sound contest, and she’s still calling the experience “unbelievable.” What started as a friendly race between her and her boss to get through on the phone became an answered prayer for her family in a financially tight season.  From fixing a leaky roof to keeping a long‑awaite...

In some of the hardest places in the world, where conflict, poverty, and disease press in on everyday life, God is quietly and powerfully at work through our sister ministry, World Concern . Listening to Peter Macharia share how teams bring both practical help, and the hope of Christ into villages facing Ebola, extreme poverty, and deep spiritual need, is a powerful reminder that faith lived out i...

Father, I pray for the graduate who hears this prayer, as they step into a new season of excitement and uncertainty. Help them be present in every moment you have given them. May they receive every blessing with gratitude, and every trial by your grace. Help them remember that life, every breath of it here on earth is from you, and through you, and you hold all things together. Lord, help them che...

Did you catch the clue this morning, presented by one of our favorite SPIRIT 105.3 artists?? Take a listen!

Some days it feels like life is one big juggling act—kids, work, errands, and somehow still trying to be a decent human. But tucked away in Edmonds is a place that flips the script on what “helping” looks like. Westgate Chapel’s food ministry runs more like a warm, welcoming neighborhood market than a food bank, treating every person who walks in as an honored guest. It’s the kind of place that re...

Join Michele and Erica for a conversation about how she shares God’s love at her business - Bark'n & Wag'n Pet Services in Edmonds! Hint: It’s through SPIRIT 105.3! And hear a story that will touch your heart about Michele’s very special clients, Mort and Sall...

SPIRIT 105.3 Operations Manager, Heidi Moore, just got back from a 12‑day whirlwind through Peru, think breathtaking Machu Picchu ruins, ancient stone staircases that double as leg day, and more llamas and baby alpacas than her camera roll could handle. It wasn’t exactly a “kick‑your-feet‑up” vacation, but it was the kind of adventure that fills your soul and clears your mind. And by fully unplugg...

His life is like a prayer: Lord Jesus, use me! And God answers that prayer often. Ben Sterciuc, the founder of 100 Days of Prayer For Seattle, is our very special guest today. We can't believe this Christ-led cause was launched 11 YEARS ago! God gave him a vision for it on a plane over the Emerald City. Find out about some awesome stuff God is doing in Seattle, our beloved city, and in the Middle...

Some stories stop you in your tracks, and this one from Longview is one of them—a devastating mill fire that took 11 lives, yet somehow still carried a quiet echo of faith through Gilbert’s final, peace-filled moments with his daughter. We're reminded of how fragile life is and how deeply we need to cherish the people we love while we have them. This is a tender reminder that a lived faith—steady,...

Calla may have grown up in a “fire family,” but even she’ll tell you that sometimes the real MVP on a call has four legs and a great sense of timing. When she and Erica break down a recent Memorial Day fire, it’s the family dog who woke everyone up that steals the spotlight. It’s a reminder that fire safety starts with alarms and awareness, but a loyal pup doesn’t hurt. 

With Seattle buzzing about the World Cup, I pulled in my friend David Kim to help me show just how easy, and honestly, fun, it can be to host a watch party that brings neighbors together. With Victory Beyond the Cup , I’ve learned you don’t need a giant TV or a perfect house; just a few snacks, a game on in the background, and a welcoming vibe is all it takes to spark real connection. We're convin...

Talking with Seph Schlueter felt like opening a window into the kind of faith that’s been tested and still chooses to sing. As he shared the pain behind “Valley of Worship” and the hope woven through “Won’t Start Now,” I found myself deeply moved by how God shows up in our questions, not just our victories. I think you’ll feel that same gentle honesty as you listen.

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to step behind the mask of one of musical theatre’s most iconic characters, you’re in for a treat. I sat down with Isaiah Bailey — yes, the Phantom himself at Seattle’s Paramount Theatre — and we got into everything from the show’s goosebump‑inducing music to the surprisingly hilarious realities of performing in that famous half‑mask. Spoiler: he may play a t...
