Jamie said “Aaron and I can’t wait to share stories of how she’s already changed our world. We are so grateful for our beautiful and brave little human and of course for […]
As a non-mom, I can only speak to the wife side of my life, and I’ve started to catch myself making a mistake I think most wives do at one point or another: Getting upset if things aren’t done MY way! And if you don’t catch it soon, it can grow into a beast when […]
Hey, it’s Carrie Parsons here… I just wanted to give you a great big “THANK YOU” for your generosity for our stoves and water filters in Guatemala. Forty-two stoves and water filters, that was the goal, and boy God really used you in a great way and we EXCEEDED that goal! Thank you Lord! So […]
If you had the power to change any of your circumstances, would you? We all live with something that we want changed. Life can be sweet and it can be sour. I know. I’ve gone through many times where it was sour; no, impossibly sour! Most of the sour in my life came from not […]
As the school year ends and summer begins, schedules change. Kids have more free time. When I was a kid, staying up late and sleeping in were my favorite summer activities. Eating cereal for every meal was right up there on the top of the list too. My parents were working, so I pretty much […]
Now that Graduations have wrapped up, the sun and temperatures are rising, and people are planning even mini vacations (with or without kids), what better way to enter into the summer than with some new music. As always, I’m SO thankful for those who are part of our Music Crew who take a few minutes […]
And everyone else, too! I’m taken by a recent surge of affection for the faith-based community, of which I am a part. Yes, like it or not, I’m one of you guys! We show up at our churches week after week, needing to be fed, hoping to apply what we’ve learned, praying for a breakthrough […]
I’m a guy. Always have been. Very comfortable here. Gender differences are fascinating, though. They make for an outstanding study. One of my favorite contrasts is communication styles. To over generalize it, let’s just say: Girls emote, guys quote. In six decades of observing, studying, and applying how men talk, it’s clearly not coming naturally […]
Hey, I’m Carrie Parsons just hanging out on the swing here at KVNE and I’m just relaxing. It’s a beautiful day so I just thought I’d come out here and relax. Sometimes though, I get pretty stressed out. Not so much at work, but when I get home, all the things I have to do […]
Do you sometimes wonder what it means to trust God? I’m talking really trusting God. I know that God loves me and I know that He is good. But sometimes we Christians are more like unbelieving believers!? Okay, I know that sounds crazy. We trust God and His Word, but do we always lean on Him? […]
Mike Harper 89.5 KVNE Mornings I don’t mean to judge. None of us does. But we all do it. I suppose it just comes naturally to human beings. In this case, I like to think of it as “marveling over the wide assortment in God’s creation.” So here we go. At a recent Easter service […]

Mike Harper 89.5 KVNE Mornings Don’t be a false idol. Who were your idols? A rock star? An athlete or an actor? Maybe even a pastor, a friend or family member. We all have people we looked up to. Of those who were a little older and had achieved something we admired, we thought, “If […]
Nikki Martinez 89.5 KVNE Middays Mother’s Day for most is a beautiful day to celebrate the women in our lives that help in so many ways. But sometimes we forget that it’s not always a great day for some ladies. Either because of infertility, miscarriage, loss, or other pains, this Mother’s Day could be painful. My […]
Carrie Parsons 89.5 KVNE Mornings Mike: 89.5 KVNE, Mike & Carrie. It’s always great to hear a story of love, compassion, and people reaching out to one another. You don’t always get to hear those, but we’ve got a good one about a boy in Florida. Carrie: Yes, he was feeling a little bit lonely, […]
Mike Harper 89.5 KVNE Mornings God’s not discouraged with you. He’s actually quite good with you. He made you in His image! Along the way, you may have believed some things that aren’t true and because of that, there’s some weight you’re carrying. Don’t. Break through your circumstances and cling to the truth that God […]
Nikki Martinez 89.5 KVNE Middays As I start my journey into Motherhood with carrying Miss Isabella (Izzy) Mae until September, it’s become even MORE apparent how hard it can be to raise a child in this tech-driven, media-centered, Me-focused world we live in. And new artist, Tasha Layton, completely understands it. Sooo, what helps her […]
When looking at Facebook, Twitter or any social media, it’s possible you’ve got a few “friends” on there. But when we’re dealing with real-life friendships, who has your back, challenges your faith in a positive way, and pushes you to be the best YOU God made you to be? It’s the nitty-gritty questions in this […]

By following these tips, you can learn to be more content. But remember: Contentment is a process, but sticking […]
Mike Harper 89.5 KVNE Mornings My mom used to say there’s no perfect job. She was right. I had no idea how right she was. Because as much as I love my job, it’s in no way perfect, because there are people in it. The same could be said of our churches, our relationships, our […]
