Since 1991, Lynden’s Northwest Lighted Christmas Parade has been the ultimate small-town kickoff to the holiday season — think twinkling floats, marching bands, and even farm equipment decked out in Christmas lights. This year’s celebration on Saturday, December 6th promises all the magic, plus daytime fun like Elf on the Shelf adventures, Santa photos, and free hot chocolate to keep you cozy. Rain or shine, it’s the kind of tradit...

From noon to 2 PM, you can swing by with coats, gloves, or even hand warmers to help neighbors who need them most. It’s a chance to live out Christ’s love in a practical way, reminding us that giving joy is just as important as receiving it.

When I think about peace and joy, I don’t see them as distant ideals we’ll never reach—I see them as promises we’re invited to live into right now. Sherri's uncle’s words have stuck with me: peace is joy resting, and joy is peace dancing—and I believe that staying connected to God makes those promises real, giving us a pervasive sense of wellbeing no matter what life throws our way.

While Sierra was working through her battle with addiction, her mother Ronda was the rock she leaned on.

She has always supported me, and she's always been there for me. Even when she's struggling, she doesn't show it or tell anybody, she just keeps pushing. I just appreciate everything she does because without her my son wouldn't have a place to live and I just wouldn't have the support that I get from my mom.

Though Ronda has also ...

In a world that often feels loud with judgment and quick to condemn, the quiet voice of grace can seem absent. Brant is reflecting on a book by Kirsten Powers—he hasn't read it so he's not endorsing it—highlighting its central theme: grace, and how desperately our culture needs it. Kirsten describes grace as giving other people space to not be you. 

Scripture tells us that grace is not just a theological concept—it’s a way of living...

When Richard Dawkins, one of the world’s most outspoken atheists, scoffs at the idea of God working through “bronze age, camel herders from the Middle East,” he unintentionally highlights a theme that runs like a thread through Scripture. Brant takes this very skepticism and turns it into a powerful reminder: God’s story is filled with unlikely heroes. From Galilee—an obscure and overlooked corner of the ancient world—to shepherds,...

I just read something that said 50% of children in America will experience their parents' divorce this holiday season.

The holidays are supposed to be filled with joy, but for parents navigating divorce and co-parenting, they can feel complicated and heavy. Many of us know the ache of putting on a brave smile while our kids bounce between households, trying to give them the magic of Christmas or Thanksgiving without letting them see...

We’ve all had those moments when life feels like it’s keeping score—late fees, deadlines, rules that don’t bend. Brant shares a story from Phillip Yancey about being nearly an hour late to return a rental car in Los Angeles, and most of us can already feel the sting of the penalty coming. But instead of a fine, the Hertz desk clerk smiled and explained there was a “grace period.” No charge. No punishment. Just grace.

That simple exc...

What if our deepest longing wasn’t to escape this world—but to live in it with heaven in view? Phil Wickham shares with Lynette the inspiration behind his new album Song of the Saints and the powerful message of “Homesick for Heaven.” Rooted in childhood wonder, spiritual legacy, and the joy of watching his children grow, we're invited to embrace a faith that looks upward while living fully right here and now.

Brant and Sherri explore the sloth’s dating life, where romance involves sitting in a tree and yelling until someone shows up—no texting, no awkward small talk. Brant suggests this might be more effective than modern dating apps, which require a master’s degree in emoji interpretation. Turns out, nature’s slowest mammal might be onto the fastest way to find love.

In a world that seems addicted to outrage, Brant and Sherri offer a countercultural message rooted in grace. As headlines scream and comment sections boil over, they remind us—through Scripture and honest reflection—that human anger rarely leads to righteousness.

Brant’s book, Unoffendable, challenges the idea that we’re entitled to our fury, and instead points to James’ wisdom: “Human anger does not produce the righteousness that G...

Brant and Sherri have cracked the sports code: it's all just glorified keep-away with better uniforms. Whether it's a ball, puck, or oddly shaped pigskin, the goal is simple—move it somewhere the other team doesn’t want it to go. Congratulations, you now understand every sport ever, and you didn’t even break a sweat.

Brant wrestles with the modern notion that righteous anger is the only fuel for meaningful action, but Paul’s words keep interrupting with a love-heavy playlist. Turns out, love isn’t just a warm fuzzy feeling—real, sacrificial, people-centered love—is the only motivation that truly matters. So if you're clanging your cymbals out of rage, maybe it's time to switch to a more harmonious tune. Love isn’t passive; it’s powerful enough ...

Brant and Sherri dive into the world of media shock tactics, where Brant hopes to be “shockingly interesting” without traumatizing Grandma over breakfast. After all, nothing says “Good morning!” like a smiling television anchor casually announcing the end of civilization.

It’s hard to find the words that truly capture what Sam Kelly means to me. But as she wraps up her time at Praise 106.5 this week, after 12 beautiful years, I want to try.

Sam isn’t just a colleague. She’s been my confidante, my cheerleader, my sister in faith. I’ve had the joy of watching her grow into the remarkable woman she is—witnessing her fall in love, get married, and become a mother to two incredible kids. Her warmth, her b...

    Are You A Charlotte?

    In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
