  • The POWER of Prayer

    The POWER of Prayer
    Jun 26 2025
    One of my absolute favorite comments on a now-viral wedding video reads: "God is such a girl dad!"

    Let me introduce you to Kayla and Micah Anderson. Their simple but heartfelt prayer for their wedding day was this: "Jesus, be glorified." And wow—did He ever show up in a well-timed moment!

    Enter Lori: my coworker here at CRISTA Ministries. Like any mom-of-the-bride, she had a dream for her daughter's big day. So when the power suddenly cut out while the bridal party was getting glammed up, her first thought was hilariously practical: "Too many curling irons, probably."

    But soon it became clear: it wasn't just the bridal suite. The power was out for the entire venue. Oh, and the whole town.

    Cue the panic? Not for this family. Their church community was ready to go. Generators, supplies, tell us what you need! But first? Prayer. Cue the divine setup.

    What happens next is a moment that’s touching hearts across the country and the globe. We got to sit down with Lori for the full backstory behind the viral video that’s lighting up everyone’s feed (pun very much intended).

    Her firsthand account makes this moment all the more powerful—and real. I’ll be honest: if I’d stumbled across the clip without knowing this family personally, I might have had a few doubts. In our age of AI-generated content, clickbait, and oh-so-conveniently staged “viral” videos, I’ve got a built-in skepticism meter. I mean, who’s to say someone didn’t just flip a switch at the perfect moment?

    But here’s the truth: this one’s 100% legit. A real moment, covered in prayer, and illuminated (literally) by divine timing.

    What I love most about this story isn’t just the goosebumps moment when the lights came back on. It’s everything it represents:
    Prayer. Community. Love. Unity.
    And of course, that little extra sprinkle of God’s humor and perfect timing—like icing on the (wedding) cake.

    I can almost feel Gods smile. “Let there be light?” That’s what I do.

    Congratulations to Raelene from Spanaway on Winning $2,310 in the SPIRIT 105.3 Secret Sound
    Jun 26 2025
    Congratulations to Raelene from Spanaway on winning $2,310 in the SPIRIT 105.3 Secret Sound with her guess of "HULA HOOP!"

    Raelene's son was a hula hooper growing up, so she's gonna thank him for the inspiration by sharing a bit of the money with him! Who's she gonna bless with the Pay It Forward $500? Here's a hot off the press message from Raelene: I talked to my pastor and we thought it best to give the $500.00 to our church (Life Center Rainier in Spanaway). Our church is doing a summer BBQ and want to get a bouncy castle for the kids!

    I LOVE IT! ❤️

    Raelene has been playing for years which will encourage other players to not give up! Congrats Raelene, we're so happy for you!!

    *Our next Secret Sound will begin on Thursday, July 10th, with $1,050 in the Elite Roofing Piggy Bank, and an additional $500 to Pay-It-Forward!

    "My Whole Life is a God Story" - SPIRIT 105.3 Artist, Anne Wilson
    Jun 25 2025
    I had the absolute joy of interviewing Anne Wilson, the incredible voice behind “My Jesus.” Hearing her share how the loss of her brother in 2017 led her into music and a deeper walk with Jesus was both heartbreaking and inspiring. Anne’s heart for encouraging others—especially young girls—to trust God through pain is so genuine, and I can’t wait to welcome her to Seattle soon!

  • What is it Like Going to Therapy? Sideris Church Counselor-In-Residence Peter Carlson Answers Some Big Questions

    What is it Like Going to Therapy? Sideris Church Counselor-In-Residence Peter Carlson Answers Some Big Questions
    Jun 23 2025
    I have a little Mental Health Monday for you, and was able to chat with Peter Carlson, a counselor at Sideris Church, and wow—what a great convo! We talked about why professional counseling is so valuable (hint: it's deeper and more confidential than venting to a friend). Peter shares how counseling isn’t just for tough times—it’s a great tool for growing, healing, and even preventing future struggles. We touched on big topics like anger, identity, and forgiveness, and he gave super practical advice—like checking your thoughts by asking: Is this true? Is it helpful? Is it kind?

    We also explore how Christian counseling brings in the Holy Spirit as part of the journey. So encouraging! Mental health matters, and you're not alone—there’s so much hope and help out there. 💛
