Author Stacy Reaoch and Erica are spending time today learning how to view ourselves a little differently. Stacy's book, "Beautiful Freedom" stresses the importance of valuing our bodies as gifts from God, advocating for self-acceptance, physical fitness, healthy eating, and serving others. It's about learning to find fulfillment in Jesus rather than our appearance or diet, embracing aging positively, and appreciating food as a divine gift. We can choose to see our bodies as tools for honoring God.

Tue, 02 Apr 2024 - 819 - An Audacious Prayer
It is 1953 Seattle, Washington. A man named Mike Martin is holding a letter in his hand from a local radio station. It says, “No. Canceled.” He can't continue the 15-minute radio program that he currently uses to reach troubled teens with the love of Jesus. He prays and God gives him the idea to start a Christian radio station.
Putting a radio station on the air is a tall order and Mike doesn't have the money needed for it. He doesn't know engineering or how to apply for a license, but Mike and his wife Vivian keep praying about it.
In November 1954, the station God gives Mike signs on the air. Today AM 630 KCIS is still going strong and is part of what's known today as CRISTA Ministries. And without KCIS, there would be no SPIRIT 105.3, the station you are listening to right now. Millions of people have heard the gospel on the radio over the years because of prayers offered in faith.
At CRISTA Ministries throughout 2024, we are celebrating 75 years of God's faithfulness, and we want to thank you for being part of our journey, and part of our family. You can learn more about CRISTA Ministries and hear more faith building stories from the past 75 years by texting the word FAITH to 8 9 4 1 9.Mon, 01 Apr 2024 - 818 - A New App That Puts God's Good News in Your News Feed!United Hive is a global platform created by Gabriel Jackson shining a spotlight on incredible stories of faith from around the globe and spreading joy to fellow Christians.

Brant calls it a tough love approach.Sat, 16 Dec 2023 - 760 - Are you ready for Christmas?
When someone asks you this, what are they really asking?
Do you have presents thought up, bought and wrapped? Is your baking done? Is your house clean and decorated? Have you been working out and eating only one or two cookies? Is your calendar squared away and do you feel confident to make conversation with people around a veggie tray?
The question flusters me every time, because no. None of that. Not even one. And the poor person who asked. They are just making conversation. So why do I freeze like a person who just got a failing grade on the Christmas Checklist report card?
Advent means "coming." Instead of looking at it like a deadline where so many things need to be done before I can get there, I want to look at it with anticipation and excitement. It's exactly because
I can't get everything done that He came.
Christmas Day is not a finish line. It's a celebration of the great relief that came to us in the form of a baby who would carry all the messed up, heavy, hurt, broken parts of us, who would bind them up with his sacrifice and love and who would transform them to glory with His resurrection.
Relief. Rest. Righteousness. Health. Balance. Acceptance. Grace. Joy. LOVE so big and unconditional that it died for you. And rose again.
All the things Jesus' birth means. Am I ready to celebrate that? Am I ready to accept the gift of this?
"Are you ready for Christmas?"
I'm so ready.Sat, 16 Dec 2023 - 759 - A Chat with SPIRIT 105.3 Secret Sound Winner Ray

Thu, 14 Dec 2023 - 756 - Sam Kelly with "Disturb Us Lord" Sir Francis Drake Quote
Mostly we don't like to be disturbed, but sometimes being disturbed is a good thing. This is a prayer from Sir Francis Drake. He was an English sea captain who lived a long time ago.
He wrote this prayer:
“Disturb us, Lord, when we are too well pleased with ourselves,
when our dreams have come true because we have dreamed too little,
when we arrive safely because we sailed too close to the shore.Disturb us, Lord, when with the abundance of things we possess,
we have lost our thirst for the waters of life, having fallen in love with life,
we have ceased to dream of eternity, and in our efforts to build a new earth,
we have allowed our vision of the new heaven to dim.Disturb us, Lord, to dare more boldly, to venture on wider seas,
where storms will show your mastery, where losing sight of land, we shall find the stars.
We ask you to push back the horizon of our hopes, and to push us into the future in strength, courage, hope, and love.
This we ask in the name of our Captain, who is Jesus Christ. ”

I heard about "The Chosen" for a long time before I ever watched an episode. And forgive the pun, because a bunch of the people Jesus chose to follow Him were fishermen, but I was HOOKED immediately! This show found a place in my heart, and I can honestly say that every time I watch it, I feel closer to Jesus. How can a TV show do this? Well, the writing is wonderful; so connective and innovative. And funny! You'll smile or weep, depending on the episode. You'll see yourself in one or many of the characters, promise. Director Dallas Jenkins and his team are breaking the mold of the constantly serious, contemplative Jesus and painting, I believe, a picture of what He was really like while He lived on earth. Our Lord got tired, His feet needed washing, He built a fire to stay warm. He's a smiling Jesus. His kindness and compassion and love absolutely all radiate from your smartphone or TV screen. And here is where I must give credit to the gifted actor, Jonathan Roumie, who plays Jesus. I'm amazed and delighted to tell you that he's with us on the show today.
Take a listen. Even if you don't believe in God, one of the things we talk about is how they receive letters from atheists who appreciate the show. Perhaps you'll watch the first episode (it's even on Netflix now) and see what everyone is talking about. And email me your thoughts - I'd love to hear from you - Mornings@SPIRIT1053.com.
And if you're a seeker, I want you to know... God believes in YOU!

Mon, 04 Dec 2023 - 747 - Spirit of Serving: Seattle’s Union Gospel Mission
Geneva’s path to homelessness and incarceration began at an early age. “I started smoking pot at 13,” she says. “When I was in my 20s, I started doing meth, and my husband was very abusive. He liked to hit on me all the time, and beat on me, and for my escape I used drugs.”
Geneva doesn’t allow her past to bring her down now. “There are so many things from my past that I would like to change, but I know God was there with me the whole time ... He carried me.”
Geneva loves her life now, and she loves giving back through her job at the Mission. “Since I’ve been through the program, I can relate really well to (women in the program), and I just love having a relationship with them … I’m actually relaxed when I talk to people about my story because my mess is a message.”Mon, 04 Dec 2023 - 746 - Home for the Holidays Winner #2: Mehgan
