I found myself in some of the lowest places in my life where I felt that no one cared and that forgiveness was out of reach and about that time I turn on my radio and Drops in the ocean comes on. I got chills just knowing that God was speaking to me through the radio and letting me know how much he cared for me still. So I will be forever thankful for Christian radio and the house.

Hi! I am a 15 year old girl. My mom always told me I had a heart for God. Chasing after His. I never took to much thought into it. When I was in the 5th grade I was bullied for the first time, but I also found my love to music that year. The bullying carried on the the 6th grade. My love for music did too. I fell into deppression my 7th grade year. I cried and sobbed wondering why? If God really loved me why? I went to church camp and felt like I got better. I also got close to a girl. She turned into my best friend in 8th grade. She taught me a lot. A lot of bad things. My deppression worsened and I began to cut myself and attempt suicide almost every day. I didn’t think about God at all. I wanted Him out of my life. But that’s not posssible. When I went to church camp the next year I have the girl up. And got help. I went to therapy everyday. I slipped once again. And when I went to church camp this year I felt God like I’ve NEVER felt him before. I believed I was going into music, God told me diffrent. I was called to be a youth pastor. After that I strived to be the best I could for God. Everyday I prayed and read my bible. Then, I “feel in love” with a senior, who happened to be my brothers best friend. I was head over heels for him. And I turned back to my old ways. I thought I was better. But thoughts of suicide and death ran through my head so often. It was crazy man. I gave him up to. And I have a wonderful youth pastor in my life now who keeps me in check and helps me every day. Now, every time my mom says you are a girl after Gods heart. I belive her. I have grabbed ahold of Him. I am 15 years old I have preached for my church and am preaching for the Mercy House in Enid Oklahoma December 6th. God has changed my life in many ways and I give all to Him. I can’t wait to share my story with the world.

About a year and a half ago, I went for two months without a paycheck. I am still trying to work myself out of the mess & debt that caused. So, financial stress. And about a year ago, I got divorced & moved. So that added emotional stress & took away any remaining stability in my life… So now I’m trying to figure out this life as a single mom. And I listen to both stations. I listen, I pray, I cry. I use the Mindbenders to enhage my kids, and sometimes i really just turn the songs on loud to diffuse arguments with my kids. I listen to just generally try to bring some calm into my life. One day, maybe I’ll be singing along to “it is well with my soul” and that will actually be true. Until then, thanks for the reminders that God’s got me covered in the storms, too.

I was in a domestic violence relationship for two and a half years on June 16th my son flew home from LA and made me leave and I never looked back I pressed in with God. house FM is my lifeline talks to me sings to me all day long I work and drive in my car and 5 months ago, I was a prisoner in my own home. NOW I’m free, free as I’ve been in my whole life and this is my life line and I just want to thank you for all the songs and all the Inspirational Bible verse and everything cuz I’m a changed person I’m free and I thank you for your station. My heart’s desire is to reach out to ladies in domestic violence relationships and let them to see the freedom you can have when you call Jesus name.

God has used both The House FM and My Praise FM in many different ways to minister what he knows that I need to hear and know from him, no matter what it is. I actually discovered both networks on the internet in 2010 around late July early August of that year. I did not know anything about Ponca City, Oklahoma. Little did I know after discovering The House FM and My Praise FM on the internet in 2010, I found out in 2011 that my brother, Richard Payne, who now lives in the Philippines actually lived at Ponca City at that time. Now then I didn’t know that God had plans for me to move to Ponca City, Oklahoma from Kansas City, Kansas in the spring of 2015, April of that year and live in Ponca City and go from listening to both The House FM and My Praise FM on the internet to listening to the networks on KJTH-FM 89.7 and KLVV-FM 88.7 here in Ponca City. While living in Ponca City I had the chance to be part of the street team for both networks, volunteering to help with the free movies at the Poncan Theatre in down town, Ponca City, to helping with Kid DJ Day and so forth. I got to know a lot of the DJ’s and staffs that works for the two networks. Matter of fact I actually asked Josh Evans if he would be interested in being my roommate here at my home in Ponca City in 2016. He had to turn my offer down, because well lets just say, he was engaged to be married and God had other plans for him and his wife there in Columbus, Ohio for him to work at 104.9, The River, a Christian radio station, there. When I discovered The House FM and My Praise FM on the internet in 2010, I lived in Ottawa, Kansas working as volunteer DJ at Christian Mix 90.5 F, KRBW, a Christian radio station in Ottawa, Kansas. The House FM and My Praise FM is AWESOME!!!!!!!!

In 2005 my younger brother had a mental break down and got sent to an institution for a few months. During the same time I lost my grandma and grandpa within three months of each other. All of this affected me to where I pulled away from church for a few years. When I moved back home after college I started attending church with my parents. In the summer of 2010 the Pastor we had at the time asked me if I would be interested in becoming the youth director for the church. I prayed about it and the lord spoke to me and I became the youth director that year. I have spent the last 7 years as the youth director at church. The youth group I led went to many camps, christian concerts, and many other activities. I believe the lord led me to come back to church and to lead the future youth of the church.

So one thing that has stuck with me is I was told once that God did not give up on us so we should not give up on ourselves or others.

I am new to OK and immediately began marking stations on my radio, including Christian stations. I came to the continual problem of have the CCM station and gospel station that pretty much translates into the black Christian station and the white Christian station. I don’t always wanna hear churchy music but I also don’t always wanna hear CCM. I like Christian rap and gospel music by Kirk Franklin and Tye Tribbett, but couldn’t find a happy medium. I turned to your station today on my presets and finally heard a song by Lecrae and didn’t even know it! I was like, is this the gospel station!? When I heard it was the house, I couldn’t help but think FINALLY! I don’t have to radio surf for a mixture of how God’s children of different backgrounds worship. Thank you for that refreshing opportunity. You had the platform and you used it. I hope this is a consistent thing.

I’m a single mom who has struggled a lot with depression and the very dark thoughts that go along with that sometimes.
What I love most about The House is knowing that at any time of day or night, I can get an encouraging word, song, or even laugh from the incredible deejays and even something to share on social media.
Now on her own, my daughter has started to listen daily. I’m so thankful!

I’ve been listening to The House FM for about 4 years now. Back then, it was “Mornings with Tom and Jen”. I was convicted of listening to secular music. My friend at work recommended that I start listening to Christian music. He assured me that after at least 30 days, it would make a great impact on my life. He was right! Christian music is ALL I listen to now. Every song I hear has an important message. Especially “Your Grace Finds Me” by Matt Redman. I pray every night before I go to sleep that I would wake up in the morning with a song on my lips & praise to our God in my heart. It works. All day – everyday! Thank you House FM / My Praise FM for everything you do in His name & for His glory.

Sincerely,
Don
