Christian Radio on Survivor
Tonight kicks off a new season of Survivor on CBS.
We are certainly not in the business of recommending what you watch on television, but we were excited to hear that a host from a Christian radio station in Charlotte (Leslie Nease) is going to be featured. Based on a new YouTube video release, it appears that her faith is being tested early on. While the filming of the show has concluded, you can be in prayer!
- pray that the millions who watch will be touched by the way she stands up for her faith!
- Pray also that the editors who are putting the shows together portray her faith in a respectful and honest way!
It serves as a great reminder of our own survival! Many of our listeners have told us how they have survived cancer, medical emergencies, emotional trauma, abuse and so much more.
Survived a Death Sentence
Many of us have survived a death sentence as well. The Bible tells us (Romans 3:23) that we have all sinned, and that the penalty for our sin is death (Romans 6:23). But God loved us so much, that He sent his son, Jesus, to pay that penalty for us (Romans 5:8-9, John 3:16).
Unlike the survivors on TV, there are no immunity challenges, or contests, or actions we can do to earn the right to be called a “survivor”. It is a free gift that is offered to us, and all we need to do is accept it! (Romans 10:9-10).
If you would like to know more about how you can be a survivor, someone is available to talk to you right now at 1-888-NEED-HIM (1-888-633-3446)!

We would love to hear your stories!

I don’t know what I did the first time, but I lost what I was typing, or maybe you received the “partial”! So here goes again…
20 years ago at age 24 and recently married, my healthy body was suddenly and viciously attacked. Diagnosis: multiple sclerosis. I mostly recovered from the initial attack (with much support from a Christian husband, parents and siblings), got back on my feet, went back to work part-time and even had 3 beautiful kids! I’d experience minor exacerbations, only a few somewhat major, in the years that followed…till 2 years ago when I was hit hard again! I fell into the pits of despair, even more so than during my initial diagnosis.
Many, many medical tests only confirmed I wasn’t dying; this was of no consolation to me. 10 miserable months later, I decided I had a choice: keep trying to fight and fix on my own, or give it all (for real) to God. I chose the latter (smart gal!) and immersed myself in God’s Word, adjusted my perspective as best I could, and developed a very personal relationship with Jesus. I have attained contentment and confidence that I can’t adequately describe. Physically, I still have issues, but I’m NEVER alone. I have even stepped out in faith to pursue a degree in Christian Counseling at Northwestern - very scary for me, but I’m trusting God to lead me and use me where he wants me!
KTIS - a special thanks to you - your music and messages have had a HUGE impact on my life and my famiy’s. The night I decided I had a choice to make, I was sitting in my truck in our church parking lot - crying and scanning through radio stations - guess where I landed…never to leave again?!
