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.

Please pray for our ministry. If you are affected by this loss of signal, you can listen online or with our free app.

Today we kick off Spring Days of Promise, with our Praise and Prayer Monday. We love hearing from our listeners, praying with you, and lifting up in praise together.

From 12pm to 1 pm weekdays, join Kelly for a Pause to Worship!
