I have been listening to WAY-FM for many years now. I am in recovery and I am almost one year clean and sober. My clean date and birthday are the same day, March 24. Through the years of struggling with my addiction I have always continued to listen to your station. It was sometimes the only time I could feel god's presence or know he really loved me. It was because of this fact I could continue to have hope that I would be free from the bondage of addiction. I thank WAY-FM for this gift of hope and healing through your station.
Hey! We love hearing from you, about you... about how your life has been changed and what you think.

I feel my story is far less meaningful than so many posted here, but it is important for me and thought it worth sharing. I have been a Christian for about 20 years, and after time my faith lost its luster. I still believed, of course, but had many years where nothing spiritually significant happened because I was not really open to it. I tried solid conservative churches but there was so much condemnation, esp. of gays and other "special classes" of sinners. I was not inspired by that at all. I ended up at churches where the Word was not very strong but nothing judgmental was spoken. Finding WAY-FM has been such a blessing because I can listen to good rock music which stirs up some passion AND hear from On-Air Personalities who are focused on the love that God shares and that God is. The On-Air Personalities focus on what is great about Christianity; the church as manifest in WAY-FM is a place where people can hear about the love of God, make it applicable to life, and feel inspired. In my humble opinion that is exactly what God had in mind when He gave us the gifts of music, humor, intelligence, faith, and, of course, His Word. I listen to the station all day long and am reconnected to my spiritual side. God is love, and WAY-FM is Godly. Thank you for what you do for His people and in His name; as one of those people I am much better off for it.

I can not even remember how many countless times that I have felt at the end of all ends ready to give up and have turned on WAY-FM to hear the exact thing I needed to at just the right time. I have struggled with addiction for a very long time and have done unspeakable things to friends, family and loved ones. I know what I have done is not okay, but I am learning and hopefully becoming a better person because of it. When I first came across your station I was in active addiction and was always looking for "away" out and could never find it until I found WAY-FM. Your radio station has been my lullaby, my counting sheep, my Sheppard and my candle threw the darkest of times. Keep doing what you are doing and I will do the same. God Bless. PS You guys Rock!!!

Way-Fm and the music you play, and the people at your station mean a great deal to me. Growing up I had kind of a hard life. I was always rejected by my peers, and never really had any real friends. I have made many mistakes in my life. Some because I really thought God had left me out on my own, but I think He was really just wanting me to hold on to my faith. I had a serious life threatening surgery when I was only 14 and that is when my faith was lost and I allowed doubt to set in. After the surgery I was told I was never going to be able to have children. I was homeschooled so I had to take a GED to get into college. After 3 failed attempts the 4th time I took it, I heard a still small voice ask me, "Will you hold on?" And I knew who it was and what it meant. And from that day on I dedicated my life to Christ and I said no matter what comes my way I will still hold on. That was over 2 years ago. And I have not let go. I play the song by Sanctus Real and I'm reminded that no matter what I have done, I am forgiven. I was always scared to come back to God because of the things I had done, but listening to WAY-FM has helped me realize that all He wants is for me to come home. So I thank you all for such a wonderful God given station. I continue to pray for you all that your ministry will continue and that you would touch many more lifes and help them realize that God only wants them to COME HOME. God Bless You!

I just wanted to tell you what WAYFest and your station means to my family and me. It was about 4 months ago that I spent our last $60 so that my husband, 3 children and I could attend WAYFest. It was to be our 1st time. On Saturday for us to be able to make it we had to overdraft our account in order to put gas in the car to get there and to be able to take drinks and snacks. We have struggled since I can remember but we were determined not to let that stop us from going. We felt it was going to be worth it to be able to Praise our God. I wish I could tell you my favorite part of the concert, but I loved it all. We are praying to be able to come again next year. I love WAY-FM and I listen to you everyday, as it keeps me focused on God and reminds me everyday that I am not alone! Thank you!

In 2006 I lost my youngest brother Samuel (Sam). I was just crushed, lost, looking for answers. I was desperate. I found myself driving, crying, with heartbreak missing him so, so much. I knew he loved music. I couldn't bring myself to listen to his favorite songs, because it made me even sadder. A week or two after his passing, I turned on the radio in my car to suffocate the silence and my thoughts. I pressed the scan button on my radio. It stopped on WAY-FM. I will never forget the moment. The song by MercyMe was playing. I Can Only Imagine, WOW what a moment in my life. I really needed to find the group that sang that song. I marked the station as a favorite. I found myself desperate to locate & hear that song again. A song that truly touched me at a time when I had no hope or desire to accept life without my youngest brother. I found Christian music. I found YOU WAY-FM. Thank you for helping me heal. Your songs by Jeremy Camp, Casting Crowns, Matthew West, they pulled me through the darkest time in my life. I still listen to you today because I have moments when I feel confused, lost, and alone with life's many challenges. I go for a drive and tune in to hear the word for the day or just listen to songs that bring me closer to GOD and the support I need to continue in my daily life decisions. I tell my family about WAY-FM and encourage them to listen. Thank you, Thank you, for doing such a great job. I have received the answers I was looking for in my life!

This year I finished my first year at a public school in sixth grade. Before that I had always gone to school in a Christian environment with the same kids every year. This year in the sixth grade I went around listening to my peers curse, and even listened to my world cultures teacher talk about things in the bible calling them just stories. It really weakened my faith, but every night I listen to WAY-FM and it strengthens my faith again! Thanks for being on the air!

I first started listening to WAY-FM in the car with my friend and her family. I loved the music. I had been thinking about suicide and running away and leaving my family for quite sometime. I thought I had no one at all. I believed in God, but I blamed Him for my pain. One day I was on the floor crying my eyes out, wondering when I would finally be happy. Then I turned my radio on and "Me and Jesus" came on and I knew that God was there and He wanted me not to feel pain. He wanted me to know I was never alone. WAY-FM has helped me stick in the right crowds, cherish the things I have, and grow to know and love God more and more. Thank you so much.

I have been listening to WAY-FM every day for a while now. The main times I listen are when I am driving, because where I live I can't get it at home. There is a lot going on in my life being a single mom of a five year old. Some days I don't want to get up but when I get in the car and turn on the radio and hear the music of Way-FM I feel better. It is also encouraging when I hear my son start singing along with the music because there are so much more negative things he could be listening to and singing. I want to thank you for always playing music that is uplifting and encouraging.

I am going to be a senior in high school and I am facing some hard times with keeping my faith strong. Every where I go I see people talk about God as if He is not real. Through out my life I have seen people who have devoted their lives to God leave his grace. I feel so week and alone sometimes because my friends do not believe in God and I am surround by all their negative thoughts. I feel like God as left me but then I turn on the radio and it happens to be your station and I feel my faith grow. Thank you so much WAY-FM without you guys I would lose faith, the music you play gives me the will to go on thank you...

I was born into an abusive marriage and I have seen my mother come near death several times because of my father. At 4yrs old my mother took me and ran from him so we lived on the streets of Miami. I started taking care of myself at 9yrs old because my mother would party and be with guys. I grew up in all the bad neighbors, which lead me to traffic drugs and use drugs. I have been near death many times from drug deals and violence. I never had a family until the day I found out I was pregnant. I met my mother and father that I have now, at His Caring Place with 4kids of south Florida, Two wonderful people adopted not only me but also my son. Kind of sounds crazy but an amazing blessing from the Lord! I am now 19yrs old, but have lived the life of a 30yr old woman. I have completely changed my ways and I am on fire for the Lord. We listen to the WAY-FM all the time and when I am getting a bit down or I just need some spiritual learning and some awesome music you guys are always there. Thank you WAY-FM for the spiritual Love. Thank you for hearing bits of my story...a way to show those how God can change lives two at a time...

I am in middle school and I am facing peer pressure and it is so hard to follow the Lord when I am being pulled the other way. Sometimes I sit in my room and wonder how I can stay strong while telling my friends about Jesus. Most of the time they just do not understand me and laugh at me so when I get home I turn on the radio and get touched by WAY-FM. Thanks 4 being there!!!

I have gone through some emotional times in my life, full of fear and doubt among other issues. During this time period I found WAY FM while driving one day and I just wanted you all to know how much this radio station has helped me get through. Listening to Jeremy Camp, Chris Tomlin among so many others has helped me realize how much I need God in my life and how much HE truly loves me unconditionally and that I am forgiven for the things I have done in the past. I never thought that I would think that listening to Christian music would be so cool and so inspiring. I finally realize this at 38. Thank you so much WAY FM.

All my life I have been to church but never really followed god. A couple of months ago I decided that my life was not going as god planned. The first step I made was changing my radio stations in my home and car a fellow Christian gave me this station and since that day I have not changed stations. I listen everyday and I thank you so much for allowing me to bask in the glory of god through your station WAY-FM. It has an enormous impact on my daily life from the music to the word of the day...THANK YOU AND GLORY TO GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU!

I visited South Florida this past summer and came across 88.1 WAY-FM. The songs you played were impacting and the hosts were inspirational and funny. Listen, I've been back in NYC for the past 4 months and listen to your station all day at work through online streaming. WAYFM has brought Florida's gospel light to the Big Apple. God bless you all, especially Brant and Wally!

About a year ago one of my all time favorite Christian radio stations was taken off air, I cried so much when it was because I thought I would not be able to find another station quite like it to inspire me to help me when I am down, a song to put a smile on my face or help me in my walk with the Lord. Well, little did I know that WAY-FM existed until a friend from church told me about it and ever since I do nothing but listen to your station. On my way to work, while I am at work and I LOVE the inspiring music the uplifting songs and the personality on WAY-FM. THANK YOU ALL, you are doing so much for us listeners like you do not even know. God Bless You all!

I am 13 years old and have lived in South Florida for my whole life. I have a mom and dad, two sisters a younger and older. I am homeschooled but go to Jupiter Middle for band. I have been listening to 88.1 WAY-FM for almost two years. For a year I had been upset and felt hated and alone. My family constantly got in fights and I felt like God had abandoned me. Hearing the songs you play has helped me realize I am not alone. God is always with me and will never forsake me. There is a place in His arms for everyone. God Bless this radio station!

Yesterday I found WAY-FM, and let me just say that the timing was too perfect. I was driving to Church, and I was really discouraged and stressed because of issues going on in my family, as well as, the work load at school. Then, you guys played "Stand in the Rain" by Superchick and it reminded me that "I can do everything through Christ who gives me strength" Phil 4:13. I knew God would help me get through the obstacles, and never leave my side. So I trusted Christ and strengthened my faith, and during Church yesterday I took a huge step and became baptized, it was such an incredible feeling. I can't wait to help spread Christ's word and His love to all people. Thank you for being an inspiration and a God connection to all of your listeners. Keep the spirit alive, and God bless.

I actually started listening to WAY-FM by accident. One day I was flipping though the radio stations and it has honestly changed my life. At fifteen it is really hard to keep my head on straight and to be honest; it has not always been screwed on the right way. I used to have a strong belief in God but, somehow I lost it. I just want to thank WAY-FM for getting me back on track. My mom and boyfriend listen now too! I love the music you guys play. The music is just so easy to relate too and it helps me thorough those days when I just wanna scream. My faith in the Lord Jesus Christ has been renewed thanks to WAY-FM!

I just want to say thank you to your station and also all the listeners who support you. I have struggled with being an alcoholic for years. Recently I was drunk walking home and on the way I just went into a church in Stuart, they prayed over me. I never felt such a change in my body. My daughter listens to your station and got me to tune it in-WELL did I ever get tuned in! The best present I can ever get for this Fathers Day is finally my salvation and Praise God for stations like WAY-FM and people like I encountered at the church in Stuart. I'm 54 years old and now I'm looking into a Christian based treatment facility in town so I can continue to grow. Thank you for WAY-FM being on the air and please keep me in prayer.

88.1 Way FM has really helped me in my life. I was going through some tough times between my parents and me. At times I have gotten to the point where I just wanted to leave right then and there and never come back. In addition I have been dealing with some really tough issues with someone I consider my best guy friend. The music on Way FM lets me know that everything is okay and that God is here watching over me through all of this mess. The music reminds me that He is there helping me through it all. Thank you so much 88.1 Way FM for being such a great radio station.

I have been listening to WAY-FM since 1994. At that time I just got out of a local drug treatment facility. They told me in order to be successful with my treatment I had to change the people, places and things in my life. I even changed my music! With the help of God, it will be 14 years on May 10, 2008 since the last time I found it necessary to use any substance to fill up my God shaped whole. WAY-FM has been a constant in my life and in my sobriety! The music keeps that whole in my soul full of hope, faith and love! I came from the streets of Fort Lauderdale. Today I am a CPA and a new foster mom! Thank GOD for WAY-FM!

I just wanted to thank you for your radio station. I am 20 years old and I was saved at the age of 13 and baptized a week before my 20th birthday. Your radio station helps me get into a good mood everyday and the songs that you play remind me that God is the number one source of the day. Even during the daily temptation that I go through you help me decide what is right through the music you play. You not only reach out to teens but you are reaching out to the adults. Thank you and May the Lord keep blessing you.

I am a single mom of 2 boys ages 2 and 7. When I was pregnant with my second child I found out my husband was having an affair with my brothers wife. After a very messy divorce we were left high and dry financially. Our house was in foreclosure and legal bills were mounting. After I lost the last 15K I had to my name in an investment that went bad. I fell on my face and repented to the Lord. I have now been a Christian for 11 years but it took me until just last year to be obedient. Through the efforts and teachings of WAY-FM and my church I have been able to see a glimmer of hope and KNOW that the Lord is providing all of mine and my children's needs. Our application for food stamps is pending, my kids are on Medicaid, and I work 5 jobs and still can not make ends meet. My church has given us food and friends have given us clothes. Every time I am down and out the perfect song in on WAY-FM to lift my spirits and allow me to praise Jesus for all that I have now, then I am reminded of Jer 29:11 I can not tell you how many times I have been driving in my little ford focus with the steering wheel shaking and noises rumbling around that I crank up a song and sing my heart out to Jesus with tears running down my face. I pray that someone will be able to make a pledge in my place. I pray for continued listener support and I pray God's hand is on WAY-FM for it is there HE is glorified.

The Mercy Me song 'God with Us' has greater meaning to me today after what I experienced on March 4, 2008. You see I was at Wendy's yesterday when the shooting took place. I was taking my lunch break from work and just happened to be in the right place at the right time for God to use me. There are a lot of details, but I will share only a few. I pulled into a parking space beside the south side door to the restaurant and was making my way to the entrance when I heard a popping sound from inside the store. I was less than 20 feet from the entrance when several customers came running out yelling, "He's got a gun and shooting people." At first, I thought about running, but something said stay, so I began screaming to other customers in the parking lot to get across the street to safety. Mrs. Vasquez and her little boy came around the building and she was about to go in shock so I assisted her to a safe place and began trying to calm her down as she wanted to go back into the store to find her husband. Another lady who had been shot in the arm, I helped as well. I guess overall I just tried to get everyone calmed down and help the injured until EMT's arrived. After the fact, I can truly say that God was with me and kept me from entering that store. I thank God and would like to thank WAY-FM for playing songs that truly touch the heart in ways that secular music can't touch!

I am a Mom of 3 children and I have been a Christian for 15 years now coming from the Jewish faith. My 18 yr old son was in Jail for 5 months and I thought my world was going to fall apart. Everyday I made it through as soon as I committed myself to only listening to WAY-FM, praying and support from my friends and Pastors. The words in all the songs hit my heart and gave me strength daily. I would search the web for the lyrics print them out and sent it to my son in Jail. I also go to church 2 days a week and my ladies bible study group. He used to tell me he would cry from the lyrics and the letters I sent of just my heart being poured out to him from God. Then he would share it with his cellmates and they would also cry out. GOD WORKS MIRACLES IN OUR LIVE IF WE ALLOW HIM TO. He is now home with me with the 2nd chance GOD has given to him. I pray daily that he will stay plugged in. I gladly give to a station that prepares lives for the Kingdom and helps other when they feel totally lost. You are a blessing in my life!

My husband and I lost our 17 month old daughter Sarah about two years ago in a tragic accident. I really didn't know how I could go on living even though I had two other children. We somehow made it to church that Sunday morning and gave our lives to the Lord. Along with a new life with the Lord we discovered WAY-FM I cannot tell you how awesome this radio station is the music encourages us everyday and frankly speaking I just can't imagine life without WAY-FM as a part of it.

Hey Brant......Where I work my boss is a believer, I used to be. We listen to another station in the morning but in the afternoon we get WAY-FM....its just him and I there so its pretty cool.....I've been away from the "church" for quite a while now, but your station and (Brant especially) almost make being a Christian cool again....you may not like this, but I've long thought that most Christians are quite boring, dull to be exact and are weak people....those are just a few of the reasons I left....but Brant makes it sound cool and fun, in fact the whole station sounds like a great place. I just want you to know that since I started working with a great man, I listen online and its the number 1 preset on my vehicles radio..... So, why am I sending this? Well, I really enjoy listening to you guys and just wish I could listen in the morning to your show...I feel like hanging out with you and listening to you take on God/Jesus, you make it real to me just by listening to you....thanks and keep up the great stuff!
