God knows his children and knows who needs these songs and the work that the KLRC team does for our community. How blessed are we? God has worked in so many ways for my family. This week, I have listened to the fundraiser each day. On Wednesday, my brother-in-law donated a kidney so that my father-in-law could receive a kidney that he desperately needed. My step son was approved through Arkansas Children's Hospital to receive the new cochlear implants that he needs to hear (without them, he is deaf). Yesterday, during the storms that hit our area, my husband was flying in from being with his dad & brother in Georgia. God landed his plane safely and our family was together again! If there was ever a time that I felt God's love and presence, this was it! This week God has held me and I know that he is holding my brothers and sisters in this loving community as well. Thank you KLRC!
I am a high school student and I really struggle with depression and anxiety and KLRC helps to keep me going and stay positive through hard times. I feel like I am always alone and unwanted, but KLRC is the positive light on my day and makes me truly feel like God is there and wants me for who I am.
I struggle significantly with anxiety and listening to KLRC helps lessen the anxiety. Recently at night my oldest asks me to turn on KLRC so that they can fall asleep listening to the music. We take turns singing on the way to school. Sometimes they get to hear their favorite song on the way to school which they love. This radio station is literally healing for me and my babies. Thank you KLRC and everyone who donates. ❤️❤️💗💗
I have had some pretty heavy medical issues pop up. I don't work outside of the home (disabled --- why is that so hard to say instead of what I put first?). My kids are all grown, so I rarely am in the car. I've recently started physical therapy and so of course, I turn the radio on, on my drive there and back. 90.9 KLRC has often been a source of encouragement and comfort in the past, through inspirational stories and the great music you play. So naturally, I turn the station to you guys and so many songs resonated with all of these heavy emotions I've been feeling. They have been a form of prayer when I can't quite find the words myself. And then during your fundraising you mentioned your prayer wall. I didn't even know that was a thing! And I've had something private in my life (aside from medical issues) that I really needed to feel I wasn't alone in and your prayer wall gave me the opportunity to ask for fellow listeners to join me in petitioning God to answer my prayers. You're a blessing every day and I'm thankful for your positive influence in our community.
During Covid my husband had to go into a rehab center and I was unable to visit. He had a debilitating brain tumor. I was working from home-what a blessing to listen to KLRC everyday. At a particularly tough day, I went for a walk and the chorus from Tasha Layton "it's gonna be ok" was the voice of God that comforted me. When he passed away I felt I had to sponsor a day in his honor. I was only planning to do it that year as I was already a day sponsor. As KLRC continues to lift me daily, I have continued sponsoring 2 days. I know I need to hear these words of hope every day.
As a stay at home mom of 3 little ones, the conversations that you have on air that resonate so deeply with me and help me feel part of something bigger. I lost my mom, grandma, and one of my brothers within a short time span and felt so isolated with my feelings even though I wasn't isolated. I so appreciated the deeper conversations that are always so positive and uplifting. Exactly what I need.
The emails and card from all of you and the prayer on the air during the last fundraiser in the fall for my wife... You guys wrapped your arms around us when my son passed and haven't stopped. We play you in both our cars and at my office. God bless you. You guys are IT!
I was driving my 7 year-old granddaughter to school, and the Holy Spirit moved me to donate to KLRC. My grandaughter's dad has a long story of bad choices. Through it all, I was given custody and am trying to raiser her on a fixed income by myself. But every day I see God provide in so many ways. At night, when she goes to sleep, her mind goes to bad places, but she will put on KLRC as she sleeps to keep her mind on God. My radio is always dialed in to KLRC. I am so grateful for my granddaughter being in my life. She loves the Lord and it is the biggest gift. I am SO grateful for KLRC!
I just celebrated 5 years sobriety. Praise the Lord! I was going through a horrible time in my life 5 years ago. I was an alcoholic living in total darkness, sitting alone in my room totally intoxicated. I asked God if He would take me out of this life permanently (I was tired) or if HE would change my life to live for Him. I turned my life over to Him that night! Of course, God wasn’t done with me... I’m still here. After a year sobriety I was listening to 90.9 KLRC and heard this song "There Was Jesus." I have lived every word. When I fell to my knees Jesus had His hand out ready to help me up.
I wanted to share a story how you’re making a positive difference and helping to make Jesus famous. I’m an SRO for our school district and I have been struggling with the emotional weight that comes from working with kids who come from trauma situations and debating if this job was even worth the effort or made a difference. I was deciding if it was time to find a new job. One day I had to drop my vehicle off at our district Bus Barn for service, and when I picked it up the Service Manager had changed my radio station to 90.9 KLRC. I decided to leave it and started listening to your station. A few days later I had 2 kids who had some issues going on and were having a really bad day so I decided to take them both to lunch and talk it over. As we left for lunch, I had the radio on but turned down pretty low, then one of the kids reached over and turned it up and they both started singing along to the song on your station. I was instantly humbled, and knew God had me right where I was supposed to be. Just one guy working in a bus maintenance barn being obedient to God, and a couple of amazing kids sharing His message of love and hope through a radio station. No matter what you do or where you are you can share God's love.
I work in behavioral and mental health provider and there are days I cry until I cannot cry anymore. There are things I cannot talk to others about, so I know I can turn KLRC on & will be given the encouragement I needed. You ALWAYS know what song to play at the very moment I most need it. Because of you, I am intentional in my my interactions with others. My two younger kiddos listen to you to and from school and it always opens them up to talk about Jesus. Thank you for reminding me to be a light in a world that often times feels dark and isolating. For all of those who are feeling broken... I ask that you give those pieces to God & watch what He can and will do.
I’ve been listening to KLRC for years. As a struggling single mom most of my boys lives I was never able to donate. God has provided for me in more ways than I’ve ever known. I definitely wouldn’t be where I am today without the love mercy and grace of our Lord and the music and inspirational words that come from KLRC and the staff!
I wish I could express enough how much y’all have helped me not only in the last year but for a few years now. Y’all were there for and with me as my mom started to decline with her kidney failure and in an incredible way since last February as I was told there was nothing more that could be done for my dad and to call in hospice. Your kindness and warmth has inspired me to reach out to others who are hurting. You and everyone else at KLRC are truly Jesus in human form in all you do! Thank you for saving my life. God is so amazing! He doesn’t send the storms of life but He’s there to remind us that He’s the calm in the storm. He counts every tear we shed and grows something beautiful from it. Thank you for giving us all a glimpse of heaven here on earth.
I just had to share how KLRC helped one of my students this morning. Colby is a sweet and generally happy child, but he didn't want to go to school because last week he had a couple of bad days. His mother needed my help to even get him in the van because he refused. However I asked God to help me and as we got going picking up other students, the song "Good God" by Chris Renzema came on. As the song was going I could see the mood in Colby's eyes change. He just relaxed and he was himself for the rest of the drive, praise the Lord! Thank you KLRC for helping me to pour into these kids everyday. God is good!
So often we don't think kids are listening. We don't consider what they are absorbing through our electronic screens and radio speakers. Our 4 yr old, Carter, and I were headed to school and he said, "Mom turn on the song about God. It says God is in the details." I said, "Buddy, we are listening to songs about God (The KLRC Morning Show was on)." "But Mom," he said, "The one that says God is in the details!" I told him I wasn't sure which song he was talking about and we'd just have to wait to see what played next from the radio. We arrived at daycare and didn't hear it. He was mad at me because I didn't turn it on. A few days pass we're headed home from school and the radio is on but turned down. He said, "Mom! Mom! Turn it up, it's the song!" Sure enough it was! They're listening! We just have to pay attention and talk to them. Thank you for putting God through our speakers!
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!
