Many of us grew up thinking God was disappointed in us—or that He looked on us with disapproval. But through His Word—and through this ministry—we’ve discovered the truth: God isn’t chasing us with shame. He’s running toward us with love, grace, and mercy. At Northern Christian Radio, our mission is to remind you of that truth every day—through biblical teaching and music filled with hope.

Would you prayerfully consider a gift today? Lives are being changed, families strengthened, and communities impacted for Christ through your generous support!

Please mark your calendar! The Promise FM Fall Gift Drive will be September 22nd - 26th!

Truth Rising isn’t just a documentary— it’s a call to action at a critical time in our culture. As faith, identity, and morality are being redefined, this documentary exposes the civilizational moment we are living in. Through powerful stories and expert insights, it reveals how ordinary people can make an extraordinary impact—by boldly choosing courage over fear. As the world redefines truth, Truth Rising offers clarity, courage, and a Christ-centered path forward.

“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.

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.
