After a devastating miscarriage in January, I turned my heart back towards Jesus. (see more)
more...Thank you for your station, I listen to you every day on my way to work and while I work. You were a much needed blessing in a time of loss for me. I would have never gotten through the heartbreaking time without Jesus and your music to lift my spirits.
Deliverance from Fear and Reassurance of God's Love in My Time of Need

God recently opened my mind to see that I have been suffering from anxiety disorder for a very long time. In the midst of a recent illness and terrible bout with crippling anxiety, He spoke directly
more...God has allowed me to go through a series of very difficult trials in the past several years, including the emotional struggle surrounding the inability to conceive a second child for two years now (while having nine close friends pregnant around me) and multiple episodes of physical illness and anxiety. He has shown me that He has only allowed these trials for a reason, because of how much He loves me - enough to have to see His precious child go through terrible pain and struggle, so that He can bring about the spiritual growth in me that He and I desire. I am in awe of God's guiding hand that He allows us to see working in and all around us when we simply seek Him and pray to Him as He tells us to. He is there guiding us every step of the way, even when we our mind is not open to see Him. He grants us exceptional guidance when our eyes are open to submit our will to Him and see His workings in our lives.
In the midst of a severe bout of illness and gripping anxiety and panic attacks last Saturday afternoon, I cried out to Him for help and comfort, and suddenly He put the thought into my mind to turn on the radio to 93.3. (I have become a regular listener in the past couple months). What I would experience next was a miracle and a gift that He gave me in my moment of need. On the radio came multiple songs in a row that told me exactly what I was needing and desiring to hear at that moment: songs of comfort, freedom from fear, and the strength of God's love. I was so moved to be experiencing this miracle that I burst into tears and praised God! He also allowed me to share this amazing miracle with my husband and mother-in-law who were there taking care of me in my sickness. Since I was still in the midst of sickness and anxiety when the songs played, I prayed that He would please bring each of these songs back to my attention at a future time, so that I could write them down and never forget them. Later that day, every last one of those songs was replayed on your station and I wrote them all down! He has now inspired me to burn a CD of each of those songs, for the future encouragement I will need in times of struggle with fear and anxiety. What a gift! Praise our wonderful loving Father! Thank you so much for allowing God to work through your station in this way.

6 weeks early
more...My sister Annette has just had her 5th child, and this baby is a very special and a miracle. Grace Sara Jean Hall, is not supposed to be born yet, her actual due date is 04/22/2008. Instead she was born on 03/20/2008. My sister did not go into labor, she was having some problems with her blood pressure and other things, so the doctor told her to come on in and they will run some tests to see what is the problem. Well they decided to go ahead take the baby, well they did an emergency c-section, and thank GOD that he was over this doctors because if they didnt take her then, she would not have lived, nor would my sister. Baby Grace was put in a Highly Neonatal Intensive Care Unit for two weeks. They had tubes on her, Iv, and before she got to come home they had to give her a blood transfusion due to low blood cells. But now with careful care, and special classes taken by my sister and our mom Grace got to come home to her other four siblings, three brothers and one sister. Today Grace is at home with a breathing monitor and she is doing fine.

How an amazing God turned a time of deep sorrow into a time of celebration.
more...On April 1, my son Jacob and I had just returned from seeing my niece in France. My mother-in-law was near death and we got back in town just in time to say good-bye. My mother in law and were very close and the pain was tough to bear. The funeral was April 5 and I felt so empty without her. I asked God to help me through this rough time, but God had other,bigger plans. At church on sunday my son asked my wife to go the altar to pray. After a lot of prayer and God's amazing grace, my son accepted Christ as Lord and Savior!!! How Great is Our God!!!

I used to listen to country music all the time because to me it was a place I could atsometimes hear about Jesus and real love, but in an upbeat song or ballad... BUT then I found STAR 93.3!
more...I found your radio station by hearing a song and liking it, but I thought it would be followed by a lot of talk and not much more music (like most Christian stations). I was thrilled and excited to be able to hear another great song after another...and I was hooked. Now my radio dial stays on 93.3 in my car, office and home. It's also great music that I'm not embarrassed to listen to with my children. We spent a whole day last weekend cleaning while listening and dancing to the great uplifting music of 93.3. My only fear is that one day I'll turn on my radio and you won't be there. Keep up the great tunes.....it's working!

Music holds me to the "ROCK"
4/4/2008 12:22:00 PM | Daniel
Christian music has helped me to hold fast to Jesus my Rock
more...I have been a Christian 24 years and from the very beginning God has used Christian music to chastize, encourage and console me. When I have been in sin something like Steve Camp, Carman, or Michael card has pulled me back in. Third Day and Darlene Z help me to come to the alter in prayer. And WAKW has been there supplying the music that changes lives almost all of mine.

We rolled into town and this was the first station we landed on. My hoplessness turned to hope.
more...Battled with drugs and a spouse that had the same problems. We left our home many states away to escape the disaster I call my life. After arriving in the Cincinnati area we turned the radio on and this is the station we stopped at. Our hopes were raised and we turn back to Jesus for the first time in 9 years. Your station has blessed us beyond words. Thank you.
An Unusual Encounter
3/27/2008 11:11:00 AM | Rebecca
WAKW / STAR 93.3 gave me a connection with a total stranger!
more...I was driving in my car with the windows down, and there was a rugged man walking by (I was at a stoplight). He was intimidating to look at! Before I knew it, he had walked up to my car! He had this smile on his face, though, and he pointed to my radio. "You're playing what I'm playing!" He said, and he showed me his walkman. We looked at eachother for that moment, both with smiles on our faces, and we had an instant connection! I realized that he was a brother in Christ! He simply walked away after that, and God left a lasting impression on me through it! It reminded me of biblical times when they'd draw the fish in the sand... Two strangers can connect with fellow brothers and sisters in Christ through the songs that are on their radio. Too cool!!! :) Thank you, STAR 93!

I play you guys on my commercial construction projects and the guys on the job always ask what channel it is...
more...I’d just like you all to know what an amazing job you are doing, flooding the air waves with Christian music and teaching. I wish I could count all the times God told me what I needed to hear through you! I run commercial construction projects for a living and when I’m listening to the radio at work it’s always on 93.3. Guys on the job always ask what channel it is and usually I have an opportunity to share Christ with them in a very comfortable way. Praise God! I thank you for all you do and hope to be a loyal listeners for all the days God gives me.
You saved my life!

You guys are one of many who stopped me from ending my life nearly three years ago...
more...Thank you all so much for what you do. May God bless you all! You guys are one of many who stopped me from ending my life nearly three years ago. I would like to thank you. I never would have met Christ
I gave my life to Christ!

Today, March 12th, I gave my life to Christ! I was raised in church and thought that I was already saved but God saved me this morning and I am not the same. Amen.
