Anne Wilson Concert!

“One of Nashville’s most inspiring young trailblazers, Anne Wilson is a revolution in modern music. The Lexington, KY, native, known for her transcendent vocal and down-to-earth story telling, recently released REBEL fusing the heart of contemporary Christian music with the sound of country. A bold musical statement with an even bolder message of faith. REBEL features her hopeful, healing debut Country single “Rain in the Rearview” as well as chart-topping Christian radio ballad “Strong”. The genre-bending album follows her GRAMMY-nominated 2022 debut My Jesus, with the title track becoming PLATINUM-certified No. 1 hit on billboards Christian Airplay chart. Since then, Wilson has tallied over one billion global streams, made her Grand Ole Opry debut and wrapped her entirely sold-out headline My Jesus tour. Already named a Spotify Hot Country Artist to watch, one of CMTs music award nomination, as well as her Billboard music award. Unapologetically real, Wilson approaches her craft with a purpose and convection that sets her apart.

Please pray for Traverse City

This weekend, our hearts were broken by the tragedy that touched Traverse City. And maybe today, you’re feeling the weight of it all—grief, fear, or even confusion.

If that’s you, I want to remind you: God is near.

The Bible says in Psalm 34:18, “The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.” That’s not just a verse—it’s a promise.

Jesus told us we’d have trouble in this life. But He also said, “Take heart; I have overcome the world” (John 16:33, ESV).

At Northern Christian Radio, we’re here to walk with you, pray with you, and point you to hope in Jesus. He sees. He cares. And He’s holding you right now.

Let’s keep praying for our city, loving one another, and trusting the One who never lets go.

God bless you—and God be near to Traverse City.
