After losing my daughter Alyssa Faith to a rare genetic disorder (Wolfe Hirschhorn Syndrome), KLRC has played a huge part of helping me gain the emotional and mental strength to keep moving forward. I couldn't thank you enough. My family and I are still picking up the pieces so we don't have much, but the Lord has put in my heart to put Him first by giving back to the very people who are pulling me out of an unexplainable depression. Without KLRC and The Assembly Church we regularly attend in Siloam Springs, only the Lord knows where my husband, our 3 beautiful children and I would be.
I want to just take a moment to say KLRC is such an encouragement to me. It allows me to refocus on what is true, and encourages me to spread that kindness and truth throughout all the departments I supervise. In our ICU/Critical Care Department, we see a lot of hurt (emotional and physical), pain, and death. KLRC helps me to bring some light to dark times and bring light to our Critical Care Staff who are at the bedside pouring into their patients 24/7. Our staff pray with family members and patients before surgeries, and we reach out to clergymen and women when requested as we know healing is more than just a healing of their body. One of the kindest nicknames (and probably my favorite) that I have received at work is "cup half-full" because in spite of all the hardships and trials we face I always can speak to the positive or silver lining so-to-say, and I owe that ability to be a "positive difference," in a big part, to KLRC. Thank you so much for all you do for our community to lift them up.
I just want to say thank you for having the app at my job I am outside the listing area and am not able to listen on the radio but because I have the app it makes it possible to listen I work in a nursing home on the Alzheimer’s and dementia unit I put in a request for a Bluetooth speaker that I could connect my phone to and listen to KLRC. Of course they wanted to know what it was so I told them and they said OK and approve my request today. I got my speaker and was able to listen at work. All my patients were dancing, singing, happy, and were saying thank you Jesus and it wouldn’t be possible without the app. All my patients were calmer and it was a good day today. I cannot wait to listen every day.

We are missionaries overseas but can’t reveal what country we are in. Over Christmas we were in NWA. Our special needs ten year old son fell in love with KLRC. He received an Alexa for Christmas before we returned overseas. Now, first thing he does when he wakes up is roll his wheelchair to the Alexa and asks for KLRC. With the beauty of the internet we listen to uplifting Christ filled songs and feel close to home even though we are thousands of miles away. We live in a dark place that needs Jesus. The songs you play give us encouragement every day. Thank you Jesus and thank you KLRC.
I am a school librarian. I play KLRC in my library. When kids come to get a book, they will start singing to whatever song you are playing at the time. About a week ago, I had a school insurance rep in my library to meet with employees concerning coverage. As usual, I had KLRC playing. At the end of the day he made the comment, "I don't feel tired or stressed out, dreading the trip back to Tulsa." He also added that it felt like "he was in church all day worshipping God." So, before he left, we set his vehicle radio to 90.9FM. You are making a POSITIVE DIFFERENCE!
I have had some health problems this summer and the music has been such an encouragement to me. I heard the song "Don't Lose Heart" by Steven Curtis Chapman this morning and it really lifted me up. Thank you for all that you do for our communities and giving God the praise. God bless all of you!
KLRC truly makes a positive difference in my life. I don’t get to listen to it as much since I moved away from NWA, but I still turn to it on the app. It fills my soul with love and light. I am encouraged daily by the music and by people’s stories. I am blessed to be able to support this wonderful ministry. It lifts my spirits to know I’m helping others to hear and learn about God’s love for them.
Rex is a nonverbal 18 year old with down syndrome and autism. When we met Rex with his parents, Chris and Jamie, we learned that his conditions don't define who he really is. His heart does. And he has the heart of Jesus. When you support KLRC, God is using you to encourage listeners like Rex, his family, and anyone that rides in the car with him! If you'd like to make a special gift in honor of Rex's story, you can give online today.
I have been giving regularly for some time... I love this station. It is pretty much "my" station. Always seems to be the song I need at the moment I need. I lost my husband about 1 1/2 years ago. I was worried I would have to stop giving. I'm on disability... so my money each month is not much. But God, He is so good. I listen to His direction. He is my Hope and I want to know others have His hope... the music on this station helps to bring that. It reminds people who He is and that He is always with us. Thank for doing what you are doing. I am grateful that I am still able to contribute. Blessings to each of you and all those that help keep this going.
I am a recovering Alcoholic. I believe my God can heal and give me the resources to keep me sober. This journey has been filled with sobriety and relapses. I still struggle with thoughts of drinking and not feeling worthy. I want to know and love God better. I want to submit to God's will and not take it back. It is a struggle. I have been sober this time for almost one month. I know it is possible to live a life sober. I thank God for his forgiveness, mercies, and grace. Thank you for praying for me. God bless you!
Growing up, my parents always played Christian radio. Like most kids I would groan but it made a lasting impact on me. Fast forward to my college years and what did I do when I hit rough times? I would catch myself scanning the radio only to hear you talk about doing the 30 day listening challenges. And off I would go listening to KLRC long past the reason I started and well into the next trial of my life. Fast forward again to my 31 yr old self, a wife and mother of 2 boys. KLRC is the only radio station I listen to. You have helped me in more ways than one. You bring positivity, joy, and peace. Your songs always find a way to hit home and say what I would be feeling without being able to say it myself. I have always thought and wanted to give but never followed through. Last night I followed through with my first gift of single $150. It's not much but it's the best I can do at this time. See, ten days ago my life was forever altered when my best friends called to tell me about an accident. This accident tragically involved her baby girl. Her girls are my girls and my boys are hers. Our hearts are shattered and we are trying to find the strength to pick up the pieces. I have held on to your station more than ever to give me the strength to not only heal my heart but her family's as well. We have a long hard journey ahead of us and we will need you with us. Thank you for being there and bringing me out of the darkness at least for a little bit. Thank you to the people giving so that you can be there. And please keep us in your prayers.
KLRC has helped me in so many ways!! My name is Lucas and I am 14 years old. So if you have been a teen you already know about all the teenage drama and all that fun stuff. I have been going through a tough time and KLRC has always had so many encouraging stories and I just love them and will be forever grateful!
My name is Kaleb, 2011-2018 was a challenging time for me, I struggled finding myself, I lost hope, but most of all I lost my faith. I always felt so alone, and thought if I changed myself into a person I wasn't before then that would help (little did I know it only made it worse in the long run). Near the end of 2018 I went to the Great Passion Play with one of my best friends, and it was near the end of the play where I realized I was really never alone, the Holy Father was guiding me every step of the way to get me to that point. You all helped in a way too in a way, I just love the energy you give every time I hear you on the radio! God bless each and every one of you and even the KLRC listeners out there!
Holley, Jennifer and Suzie, I can not thank you enough for all of the hope and inspiration your More Than Small Talk Podcast brings me. It is hard to pick a very favorite, but I think mine is probably Episode number 40, "Body Unshaming." I listened to it again today for about the 5th time and I can not relay to you how much it strikes a chord in me. Holley, your story about the little boy who told you you were ugly as a little girl is one that I also lived. Fat and ugly. It took me a long time to dispel that myth within myself. I am 66 years old now and have come to realize over the years that it is what is in your heart that counts and if you have the love of God within yourself, He will bring you the peace and reassurance that you need and His words remind me that I am beautifully and wonderfully made. Holley, I love your brain science, Suzie, I love your strength and calm, and Jennifer I love the way that your love and teach your girls. Thank you all so much! God bless you!!"
Yesterday I was cleaning out my garage listening to my favorite radio station KLRC (whom I support monthly). I was listening to a story about a woman named Judy who struggles with sobriety. As I was listening to her story, I was thinking she has been through what I have. And she has the same name!
My husband passed away on September 30 after a prolonged illness that had become worse in the prior month. Through it all, my prayers were that God's will be done.
God spoke to me through KLRC. One day I was particularly discouraged out on a walk at lunch time. I often pray while I walk. "Into the Sea" was the song for me that day - it was as if God was saying "it's gonna be ok." Even though I have been a day sponsor for several years, I decided to add another day to honor my husband and thank God that he uses KLRC to speak to me.
This morning while sitting on my back porch, I was reading my Bible and listening to KLRC on the radio. I do this almost every day and it gives me peace and strength to face another day.
I am 13 months sober. Last year on New Year’s Eve I decided I wanted to quit drinking I was on my tenth year anniversary. My health was getting worse and I was just tired of living the way I was mentally and physically. I wanted a fresh start... or an end! I was raised by grandparents and church and religion was a big part of my childhood, so suicide was NOT an option! Back in March of last year our landlord told us he was selling the house and we would have to move. We had 5 dogs and a cat I didn’t know what to do so, I decided on an all-nighter which almost killed me! As I was drinking alone that night I told God, "I’m done! I’m giving you control of my life! I don’t want to live like this anymore."
The last year has been a struggle for sure, but with God all things are possible. Everything I had prayed for and asked God for He has answered... my prayers for my home, finances, health and most of all sobriety. We serve an almighty God! I love the music and when weakness was trying to overtake me God used KLRC to send me the songs I needed to give me encouragement. "The God Who Stays" is one of my favorites.
Thank you so much for all the radio station does!! God bless you all.
I have a neat story about how KLRC ministered to me through a long difficult battle of my mom’s cancer a year and a half ago. (She left earth for her heavenly home 5/7/18) My mom was such a godly woman and gave clear instructions to my brother and I ( that upon her death) to tithe the proceeds that we get from her oil royalties.I chose KLRC as one of the ways to honor her request! She always had a heart for christian radio and was instrumental in getting a station in our small town. So very thankful that I can hear encouraging words/songs/testimonies that start my days off right!
Unfortunately I need to stop my monthly donation. My husband and I both have medical bills this year and I will be out of work for 6-10 weeks due to an upcoming surgery. I am so sorry. I will donate again as soon as possible. I really enjoy your radio station. I am a Hospice RN Case Manager and your music gets me from patient to patient. Thank you so much. And again, I am sorry I need to stop donating as of now. God Bless!!
I want to thank you for your prayers. I listen to you daily for I need to hear so many of the songs you play. My favorite is You Are More by Tenth Avenue North. It changed my life 3 years ago. Before that song I was in a bad place, I was continually suicidal and tried many times to end my life. I even begged God to let me come home. Now I know He kept me here because I have a purpose and I am doing my best to fulfill it. Please allow me to share it for I need prayer for it to happen. I was a battered wife for many years, and my purpose is to build a Ranch for battered women/children and animals… I will never listen to another radio station again. KLRC is definitely the only station for me!
About ten years ago as I was recovering from an abusive relationship, I listened to that tug on my heart and took KLRC's 30 Day Challenge. I've never changed the station since that day! And I attribute that moment to the one that happened last night as my two girls begged me to listen to "The Blessing" before bed. God is good!!!
If you are looking for music with depth and meaning, listen to KLRC. The songs they play are not just for people who already believe in Jesus and attend church every week. Some of these songs are for people who have never stepped foot in a church - people with addictions, people who have lost a child, people who have made mistakes and are worried that they are not good enough to be loved. These songs are for people who need to be reminded that there is hope; people who need to know that someone else out there has been through the same thing they are dealing with. And sometimes these are things that people are uncomfortable talking about, but the music just lays it all on the table and allows you to feel what you need to feel.
KLRC builds up hopes in the good times, reminds me I am never alone when I feel like I don't belong and helps the broken heart to heal and gives courage in those desperate times which I have had many in the last 5 years. It has been a voice in the darkness coming home from the hospitals, loss of loved ones. It doesn't answer questions of "WHY" but the staff and artist help remind us that our savior understands all we go through and we are not alone on this earth, there are others out there that understand, going through the same things and we are family.
