#1 Willia's Story - Grace Wins
Transcript
I heard the song from Matthew West, Grace Wins every time…
Grace Wins Every Time
I’ve been having some issues with my husband, he really hurt me with some words. I’ve been wanting not to talk to him and kind of punishing him somehow and make him feel guilty of what he said, and when I heard that song God just talked to my heart and I realized that I had to forgive him, because that’s what Jesus did for us. So, thank you playing those songs. It’s amazing how God can talk to you through his lyrics.
Yeah I’m living proof. Grace Wins Every Time
Talking Points:
The caller’s name is Willia (pronounced Will-ya)
ON-AIR CONTENT:
1. Like Willia, you let us know how many ways that God changes hearts through songs. That song, Grace Wins, is about God delivering all of us, you and I together, out of our guilt, and yet it touched Willia because she was wanting to put guilt upon her husband. God spoke forgiveness into her heart through a song about grace, and he uses the songs that you provide through your gifts in ways you can never imagine!
SPECIAL EVENTS:
4. Marriages are in trouble all over Houston, and you help to strengthen them through KSBJ. You help us get the word out about marriage events, like “Love Worth Fighting For” with Kirk Cameron, and “Fight Night” with Drs. Les and Leslie Parrott. All of us together can put a big emphasis on strengthening marriages. Because you support us there’s been other local marriage ministries that have been spotlighted
PRAYER STATIONS:
6. Imagine that you have a marriage where you couldn’t be together with your spouse. Your support means that volunteers can go out to pray with others at KSBJ prayer stations in the jails. You and KSBJ together get to minister to families who are there visiting a husband or wife, or son or daughter. We’re praying for them to find grace, comfort, and forgiveness, and meeting them at their time of deepest need. With your help that ministry will be expanded this coming year to places like Senior Centers, the Special Olympics, and outreach to the homeless with Star of Hope.
MENTORING:
There are Willia’s all over the world. Struggling marriages are not just a Houston phenomenon. Your support helps to create radio stations that are focused on ministry to the hurting all over the world. There are stations that are willing to work hard to reach Willia’s on every continent, and they reach out to KSBJ to help them do that.
ON-AIR/PUBLIC AWARENESS
2. You help KSBJ reach the people that this song talks about: “For the lost out on the streets. For the worst part of you and me. For the thief on the cross. For a world that is lost. Grace wins!” All of us together reach them in ways that would often be considered an accident – they just happen to come across a lyric when they’re scanning their dial. They see one a billboard and tune in. It only takes a second to make an eternal difference, and it only takes _______ dollars a month to make it happen.
3. Part of the ways your marriage is strengthened through KSBJ is with Focus on the Family, or Family Life.
PRAYER/COUNSELING:
5. One of the top concerns that comes in on our Prayer and Care Line is for relationship help, especially for marriages. Our partnership with Focus on the Family gives those who are hurting a place to call to receive prayer, and not only that, but an initial counseling session can be provided, and continued counseling is available when Focus refers callers to a local counselor.
SIGNAL EXPANSION:
7. More people like Willia will be able to hear KSBJ this year because of planned upgrades to our signal. More people can be helped in their relationships, but more than that MORE LIVES CAN BE REACHED FOR CHRIST. Remember when you first discovered the feeling that that song talks about
No more lying down in death’s defeat
Now I’m rising up in victory
Singing hallelujah
Grace wins every time.
There will be new parts of Houston that will be able to hear that message loud and clear with improvements to KSBJ’s signal. There will be new millennials who will hear that message of hope because of the new NGEN signal!
