Transcribe →To Infinity & Beyond! | Libby
Apr 1400:02:20Tap to summarizeHave you ever dreamed of defying gravity, seeing the galaxy, exploring the stars? Astronauts are now going farther from Earth into space than ever before. I can’t fathom all that goes into a moon mission. And the amount of faith it takes to be willing to go on such a journey? Wow. Big picture: I trust in God. But there are many times I realize I’ve been leaning too much on my own understanding. It’s like I’m constantly trying to solve a puzzle without all the pieces. Letting go, giving it to God and allowing Him the control vs. gripping too tightly on our own takes faith. But He is making our paths straight. Even when things don’t fit in the neat boxes we’ve set up, even when the timeline is different than we expected, even when the outcome doesn’t look how we anticipated, He is at work! Recently, things didn’t go quite as we’d planned. During Shareathon, over a thousand friends gave generously and, through Second Harvest, those gifts also helped provide over 8,500 meals to our community! We are SO grateful! As for the budgeted need for LifeSongs, however, we came up about $20,000 short. This is one of those opportunities for us to lean on God, trusting He will provide. Would you pray for God to meet these needs? If you’d like to help, your gift can reach more people like Jessica. She says, “I have listened to LifeSongs my whole life. It has brought me comfort when nothing else could. I’m learning to rely on HIM instead of myself. I need that connection with him. Life can be tough, but you truly make a difference. I hope this ministry continues to grow and touch others out there who need it. (We ALL do).” God is using your giving to LifeSongs to provide comfort and connection for Jessica, and hope and encouragement for so many more. Our mission may not be to the moon, but you are joining us in something even greater: Sharing the love of Jesus. Thank you!
Transcribe →Winter Olympics | Libby
Feb 1800:02:06Tap to summarizeThe Winter Olympics are here! Well, not here. In Italy, but their time has come. Athleticism and coordination have never been strengths of mine. (I essentially failed every part of the Presidential Physical Fitness tests we were subjected to in school. Fun times.) Maybe that makes me appreciate those competing in the games all the more, though. Imagine if they featured a regular person (or me) in these competitions. That comparison would surely emphasize all the hard work and effort these athletes put in. (Also, comedic relief!) We watch, we cheer, we are in awe of the accomplishment of nailing a triple axel on the ice or a bobsled team from an island nation winning a medal – but what draws us in most are the stories. What these competitors have had to endure, what they’ve overcome. How people in their lives believed in them and their dreams. Their determination, focus and faith. You may not be competing for a medal on an international stage, but chances are you’ve had obstacles to overcome, dark days to walk through, opportunities to lean on God and the people He’s placed in your life to remind you of His goodness, to give you hope to cling to. For Lindsey, that source was LifeSongs. She shares, “When I was going through one of the worst times in my life, LifeSongs was there. LifeSongs ministered to me through the ministry, and I felt Jesus through/in the music, always hearing exactly what I needed to hear when I needed to hear it. I am happy to continue supporting because I know how important this is and if it is a way I can spread God’s word, then it is my mission to do that!” Because YOU gave, God used LifeSongs to help Lindsey through one of the biggest challenges in her life. It has inspired her to spread God’s word! If LifeSongs had medals of gratitude to award, you’d be at the top of that podium. Thank you for sharing the Hope of Jesus by giving.
Transcribe →Just Three Words | Libby
Jan 2700:01:23Tap to summarizeIf you had to use just three words to describe your January, what would they be? “Long, dark, cold.” “King cake time!” Or maybe “fresh new start?” (More than likely, it was all of the above.) There’s just something about the start of a new year that has us naturally reflective and motivated. We’ve got a fresh resolve to try new things, eliminate some that haven’t worked, and focus on healthier habits in our lives. Writing in that prayer journal, taking the stairs instead of the elevator, opting for a slightly smaller slice of king cake – making even small changes can have bigger, lasting impacts. That’s the idea behind LifeSongs’ Be Kind Bingo, too. You never know how a simple act of kindness might brighten someone’s day and have a ripple effect of HOPE in our world. It’s a fun way to make a difference in our community together as we love God and love our neighbors. Rick shares, “Thank you brothers and sisters for sharing your heart for God throughout the year. You make it easier to be content in all situations and stay focused on Jesus through all trials and tribulations. As we move spaces through another calendar, may it always be one space closer to God and filled with more and more people doing His will on earth, as it is in heaven. We CAN and WILL do all things through Him! Thank you all for continuing to keep us focused and encouraged throughout the year.” Would you join Rick and your LifeSongs family in sharing kindness and encouragement in 2026? Together, we can make a difference this year!
Transcribe →New Years Advice | Josh
Jan 600:01:26Tap to summarizeSome New Years celebrations arrive with fireworks and high hopes: this is gonna be THE year! Other times, New Years arrives and we find ourselves looking around, hesitant to declare any sort of triumph because, honestly, we’ve been burned. We’ve purchased gym memberships that went unused. We made spiritual goals that went un-met. We prayed prayers that felt unanswered. Can I offer some New Years’ advice? Don’t be afraid to declare your goals. Don’t let a hard fought past decide your hope-filled future. One of the great gifts of God is changing seasons and celebrations (the Bible is FILLED with them). We can go from wandering in the desert to living in the Promised Land at any moment! Every new year/week/day is an opportunity to live for God’s Kingdom – to become who He is shaping us to be and experience God’s great Mercy. So make those plans and goals and hopes and dreams! Trust that no matter what happens, God has a plan, and that plan includes YOU in His Kingdom. And thank you so much for living that faithful, hopeful life with LifeSongs. Together we can bring encouragement and hope to countless lives, yours and mine included Happy New Year!
Transcribe →The End of 2025 | Julie
Dec 2600:02:11Tap to summarizeWe hope your Christmas was filled with incredible joy, celebrating the birth of our Lord and Savior! As the year rapidly comes to a close, this is a wonderful time to reflect on the blessings of 2025 and look forward to the opportunities of the new year. LifeSongs is grateful for your partnership, which allows us to share Jesus with Southeast Louisiana every single day. Your financial gift makes an incredible difference to this ministry! And since LifeSongs is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit ministry, your year-end gift is tax-deductible for 2025—but you must act before midnight on December 31st. While the holidays are a time of joy for us, many are still searching for hope. Every song we play and every message we share is an opportunity to point them to Jesus. Thank you for making that possible. Each person God reaches through LifeSongs is because of you! Karen said, “My radio stays on 24 hours a day in the house, in the kitchen. And I love the fact that when I wake up in the middle of the night and I hear the song that’s playing, I just love that. It’s just so much peace that flows through this house. And I know, it’s because of LifeSongs.” If you are not currently a monthly donor, we encourage you to start the new year with a resolution to give monthly in 2026. Your recurring monthly gift allows us to consistently pursue our mission: “Sharing God’s love with Southeast Louisiana through authentic and uplifting radio.” We are so blessed by your partnership. Your giving is what makes LifeSongs possible, and we are incredibly thankful that you choose to stand with this ministry as we head into an exciting new year. To claim your tax deduction for 2025, your gift must be postmarked or completed at LifeSongs.com by midnight, December 31st. Your support now ensures we can hit the ground running in 2026!
Transcribe →Christmas is Here | Libby
Dec 900:02:14Tap to summarizeThe Christmas season is here! Is there a gift you received in your lifetime that you will always treasure? Maybe it’s something you got as a child, or something a loved one made for you. Perhaps it’s not something tangible, but something someone did for you or time they spent with you. There’s always a story behind a meaningful gift. What’s yours? I can think of many that stand out over the years. A hard to find toy I didn’t think anyone knew I wanted. Homemade pottery from a relative. Someone giving the gift of their time – it may feel like a small gesture, but it can mean the world to someone who needs it. Thanksgiving the day may be over, but a season of thanks & giving continues. As we reflect on the many things we have to be grateful for (and those memorable gifts we still treasure), let’s embrace a spirit of giving. You never know – your gift could be the one someone never forgets. Breann recently shared with us, “I grew up in a small town in Canada and my family stumbled across your radio station, and it’s been our go-to station ever since. After my husband and I got married, we had a season of baby loss – it was an incredibly difficult time in our lives. In the darkest moments when I felt so broken, I would turn on your station and even though I was in pain, it uplifted my soul the only way that a Christian community can. I would cry and sing and just praise through it all. Our rainbow baby is just over 6 months old now and I want to thank LifeSongs for helping me to carry on through that season. The grief is still there but I know LifeSongs is just a click away in the times of celebration and also the times of pain. Thank you.” Thank you so much for your generous gifts to LifeSongs. You are the reason LifeSongs was there for Breann when she needed it most. So many of us need a message of hope. As we celebrate this season with Christmas music on LifeSongs, our prayer is that anyone who stumbles across these familiar holiday songs would find the true thrill of HOPE: Jesus. We wish you a merry Christmas and may you treasure the greatest gift ever given, our Savior.
Transcribe →Giving Back Tuesday | Josh
Dec 300:01:39Tap to summarizeI’m so thankful for the friendship and partnership we have with Global Maritime Ministries! On Giving BACK Tuesday (The National Day of Giving #givingtuesday) we teamed up with the Port Ministry to give out Christmas treats and goodies to the truckers working the Port of New Orleans and it was such a joyful experience! We danced to Christmas music on LifeSongs to keep warm as we shared hot chocolate and coffee and cookies and presents with the hard working truck drivers. It was the most Christmassy thing I can remember doing in recent years. I hope and pray you get to experience that real joy of Christmas this year – through giving and serving and loving well. And while Christmas music only lasts through December 25th, that spirit of love is alive and well all year long on LifeSongs! That’s because of your generous giving. And we are so very thankful. We got to shake hands, fist bump and hug nearly a hundred truck drivers and share stories while chugging lots of hot cocoa. The men and women who keep goods flowing in and out of the Port of New Orleans literally make our modern lives possible. And they were so kind and excited to celebrate Christmas with us on a blustery December Tuesday. Our friends at Global Maritime Ministries work all year long with Port workers, and the men and women who serve aboard the ships that flow in and out of New Orleans and other locations in Southeast Louisiana. They share the Gospel and the love of Jesus every day to folks who are far from home – folks who then take the seed of the Gospel with them around the world! Be in prayer for those efforts and be sure to follow them on Facebook and Instagram to see how the Good News is changing lives at sea!

Transcribe →Come to the Table | Libby
Nov 2500:01:58Tap to summarizeMmmmm…I can almost smell the cornbread dressing and the pecan pie already. Thanksgiving is almost here! I love this opportunity to sit down together and connect over a family meal. Putting phones away and welcoming friends and family to the table is something I count as a blessing. Even though there may be awkward moments or tension, food allergies or burnt pie crusts, there are also stories to share and laughs to be had together. And the food! While it can be tempting to give in to frustration or focus on what we lack, I want to encourage you to look through a lens of gratitude. We have so much to be thankful for! We are blessed by a God who loves us. That is reason alone to be grateful. 1 Chronicles 16:34 reminds us to “Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His love endures forever!” One way we can express our gratitude is through our actions. With a thankful heart, let’s extend this great love to others. Invite them to your table. Choose forgiveness. Be kind and encouraging. Bring joy to others. Let someone know how much you appreciate them and why. Be a generous listener. Look for opportunities to share the HOPE we have in Jesus. In fact, we’ve got one way you can do just that, coming up Thanksgiving evening at 8pm! That’s when LifeSongs becomes your Christmas soundtrack. Why Christmas music? There are so many people searching. Looking for connection, for comfort, for hope. Our prayer is that those who may stumble upon LifeSongs and hear a familiar holiday tune would find the true “thrill of HOPE” in our only source, and in the reason we have to celebrate: Jesus. Please pray for them, invite them to the table, and that they stick around, even after Christmas, to continue hearing messages of good news and great joy on LifeSongs. Christmas may be a rare season that has its own soundtrack, but there are so many songs of gratitude and thanks that might be perfect to incorporate around your Thanksgiving table! Here are a few of my favorites: Happy Thanksgiving! My heart is full of gratitude for you. Now, pass those sweet potatoes!
