The Morning Cruise Replay

NASA has confirmed that the thing streaking across the sky yesterday above Cleveland was a meteor. Gyms are having a moment as there are now more gyms than stores these days.  Wanna get a car for a good deal? Dave tells us about one man who is on a streak of getting cars for less for his customers. And hot off the presses is news of some smarter technology coming to your car.  Feeling burnt out at...

We started this morning filling your speakers with Terrian and CeCe Winans on "Testimony". Your day may be filled with green on St. Patrick's Day but do you know the story of Patrick of Ireland? Bill fills us in.  Airports around the country are filling up as flights are being delayed for a variety of reasons.  Would you fill your mouth with "peanut butter cup" toothpaste?  If you feel like you've...

Last week, we connected with you to raise 83% of our Friendraiser goal and we are filled with gratitude that you felt called to help! As crazy as it was last week, the weather across the U.S. is just as wacky!  While they live in 2 different states, Dave connected with his granddaughter when she was found to be dressing up like him!  Carmen shared a story that she received from a listener last wee...

Dave shares from Romans 5:1 as he leads us in our Morning Devotion for Monday, March 16th.

Some items that have marked American History are hitting the road. Bill told us all about the documents that will be hitting cities like Atlanta this year. Dave marked the bicentennial with the purchase of some syrup bottles.  Carmen has been marked after her experience in our latest video to hit social media.  The Brady Bunch house is finally getting landmark status. The Golden Arches are a landm...

We had so much fun yesterday with your help towards the running start that we wanted to see if we could do it again. But, this time, we put the challenge out for Carmen's Crewe members.  Want a day of rest? You might want to do what is now being referred to as "French Sunday". Just add church to your Sunday! Dave, Bill and Carmen took a trip to the Plant City Strawberry Festival for Lauren Daigle'...

The light at the end of the tunnel is getting bigger and brighter as we are now 1 week away from Friendraiser! As we get ready, we've heard an encouraging word from a listener who credits the station for helping them convert from Islam. It reminded Dave of a speaker at his church who spoke of Egyptian missionary conversions.  As we shed more light on the situation in Iran, we took the time to pray...

Hard to believe it's already the third month of 2026. And now that  we're in a March, Carmen has a new color of Stanley to fill up every morning.  It's not too late to fill in the details on the expected food trends of 2026.  Bill fills us in on the details on the situation in Iran and encourages us to pray for the church.  Carmen filled her weekend with Jesus. She shared some of what she learned...

It's Carmen's birthday today and what did she want? Your help with Friendraiser's running start!  We also met Terrian this morning as she joined us this morning. We spent some time getting to know her and the stories behind her songs.    00:32 Friendraiser  03:56 Friendraiser listener emails  06:33 Blood Moon and Worm Moon  09:53 Jeff Galloway/ Carmen's Running Career and Birthday  15:43...

One guy stepped out on social media to share his perspective on Peanut Butter & Jelly sandwiches and was met with a lot backlash. He claimed it was only meant for kids. But a lot of adults disagreed and shared their thoughts. The folks at Uncrustables would probably have some thoughts as they've got a few changes coming to their product.  Stepping outside and going for a walk can have a ton of ben...

We got things going this morning with our Midweek Praise Break, 3 songs chosen to fill you with the Holy Spirit and help you get through the middle of your wee k. This week's songs included Battle Belongs, Firm Foundation and Gratitude.  Bill turned to Matthew 6 to fill your mind with gratitude heading into your day.  We're less than 2 weeks away from Friendraiser and we need your help to fill the...

There's a lot you can do to help us with a "rocket" start for Friendraiser! But just as much as we need help with a rocket start, it seems there's a helium problem that is preventing Artemis from taking off.  Carmen and Bill have enjoyed their reading of Theo Of Golden thus far. All that praise has Dave pondering if he can pick up the book as well despite all his other reading for his book narrati...

Paige Brown's BIble Study on "Scenes From The Final Week" is a great example of what is happening in Season 5 of The Chosen. A season some of us are catching up on now that Dave, Bill and Carmen (and Mohair) are back from ChosenCon.  The U.S. Hockey teams (men's and women's are bringing some shiny new gold medals home after both teams beat their Canadian opponents. On the Canadian side, they've go...

Accounting firm KPMG is learning all about the troubles with AI. As they try and save money with their own accounting firm and then reprimand their employees for using AI to take tests on AI.  Bill also found it troubling when the AI on his security system wrongly identified his wife.  When Carmen learned that Andy Erwin had credited The JOY FM with helping to get I Can Only Imagine and I Can Only...

Carley Boyette sat down with the cast and crew of I Can Only Imagine 2 ahead of the movie's release this week. In that interview, Andy Erwin gives credit to The JOY FM for a conversation that led to them doing the first movie and subsequently, the sequel. We're just wondering where our invite to the movie set and/or premiere is!  Our Midweek Praise Break this week included Awake My Soul by Hillson...

  Students at Southeastern University have lost out on class time but it's for a good reason as they have seen a revival on campus. Bill recalled a time in college where he had a similar situation where he lost track of time.  Today marks the 1-year anniversary of Dave's wife, Emilie, passing. He shared a bit of the conversation he had with his son yesterday as they thought about today.  We're pre...

Today on the show, we discussed some great athletic/Olympic achievements, a great letter from a listener, some of the great men that have led our country, some great protein options, a couple of great beasts in the wild, and some great sayings from Bill's granddaughter.    00:32 Savannah Guthrie's mom still missing  05:20 Olympics coverage  09:13 Oldest US Olympian  11:20 Lea's half marathon  14:0...

As we get closer to Valentine's Day, Bill wanted to test the knowledge of Dave and Carmen on love-filled quotes and their sources. Surprisingly, Carmen did really well, while Dave was not loving it!  We loved to see the photos from Unite Us at UCF as so many college students came forward to accept Christ. A little further south at Southeastern University, a revival was taking place as well!  We lo...

Carmen got us started gazing up this morning with our Midweek Praise Break and 3 songs guaranteed to have you looking up towards the heavens. This week's songs were Worthy Of It All, Graves Into Gardens and I Know A Name.  Bill kept us thinking up with some words about Billy Graham at Cambridge.  Dave, our resident space expert, got us talking about life on Mars and the moon. But it went in a dire...

Bill has been buzzing about washing things before wearing them for awhile. Now he has science to back him up. Dave's buzzing about his new socks and journal.  We are buzzing about through a busy season right now, but in  the midst of that, it's good to slow down and experience God's love.  With the Olympics going on, there's a ton of buzz about sports you don't see that often, like curling. But ha...

  We had some sweet moments to talk about and some sour as well on the show today.  On the sweet side, the Seahawks are Super Bowl Champions!, some moments from the Winter Olympics, a new song from CeCe Winans, rare birthday stats, a viral sweet tea trend, Cherry Float Coke and Dave's Birthday Report.  On the sour side, we've got some sourdough science, our football obsession is about to experienc...

It's been a busy week on The Morning Cruise. Yesterday, we spent time with the guys of We The Kingdom sharing new music from their EP, Dear Jesus. We reshared some of that conversation today (find it HERE). We also shared Miracle On Your Street Story #3 with Ben and Jennifer. And we had a fun video to share of our Three Monkeys Baking Challenge.  As we look to the weekend, Dave is celebrating a bi...
