Listener Stories Encourage others by sharing your story here. Marriage Restoration Chelli A year ago at this time, my husband and I were facing divorce, something we both wanted (or so I thought). But upon our separation, it didn't take long to realize there is a very real difference between thinking you want a divorce and actually looking it square in the face. We both had let our spiritual walks fade over the year prior to this. Looking back, I can see how God tried to lead me in the right direction. I turned to God and prayed for my marriage to be restored, which He did! Thank you, God! After being separated for 4 months, there were lots things to work through and heal from. The tools to encourage us became a vital part of the healing process. God directed us to a new church, which we have been attending faithfully, and also to WBCL. I am amazed that EVERY time I get into my husband's car, he has WBCL on. God is doing a wonderful work in this marriage restoration, and the tools that we have found to strengthen us are SO important to help us get through each day. Everything on WBCL is great. Having music throughout the day and as we go to sleep at night refresh my spirit and give me strength. I thank you so much for your ministry. It has been such a blessing in my life!Life without God and Salvation Sadie When I was 26 I went through a terrible divorce and ended up living in a very wrong sinful relationship for three years. I had known God as a kid and had been saved but I gave up on God. Well, the beautiful part about it is that God never gave up on me. I have now been married for two years to a wonderful man. I am thankful each day that God never gave up on me and helped me find my way back to Him. Now all I listen to is WBCL Radio. Thank you, WBCL, for allowing me to have your music to listen to and remind me how wonderful God truly is. Perfect Timing Katie My grandpa died today while my Mom was on the way to his house to see him. He's had cancer for about a year now. My mom turned the corner on the road to their house and turned on the radio. It was at the time he died, and the song "I'll Fly Away" came on. It was amazing. My uncle was on his way, too, and he heard the song. The timing was so perfect. On WBCL, you say you play the right song at the right time. God's timing is always perfect. Thank you WBCL for being there always. A Friend in WBCL Amy My young family moved to Indiana from Florida in 1988. I had listened to a great Christian station there, and that made it difficult to leave. I wasn't sure what I'd find here. I didn't know anyone in the area, and my husband and I had two preschoolers. I soon found that I had a friend in WBCL. Your station took me through the growing-up years of my children, an unwanted divorce, and the loss of a job because of the arson of our building. God has been with me through it all, and I hear His voice through WBCL. Sometimes it's a comforting voice, and sometimes it's reproving. But it's always loving. Thank you for being the conduit for God's message to so many listeners. We love you!I am Not Alone Joe and Marie WBCL has been there for our family over the years in so many ways. We are empty nesters of 8 children and have 4 grandchildren. The music you play and your staff have ministered to us in many ways. We have been listening for many years and have been able to joyfully support you all as you have supported us so many times with community and music. We count it a privilege to partner with you and pray for you all. Truly seeing the body work together through WBCL! Our oldest daughter had a stroke on the first of March. Through the knowledge of one of your employees, you prayed for us. We feel those prayers! Just this last week we were having a tough conversation together with family about the next steps in her journey. Earlier that morning, I was feeling a bit down when the Lord put Kari Jobe’s song “I Am Not Alone” on my heart. So then later that evening after we left the hospital, of course we had WBCL on the radio. Guess what song played? Yep! It was Kari’s song! My husband and I cried all the way home! Thank you, WBCL, for allowing the Lord to use you all in such a powerful way in our lives!
