Feeling down? Feel like you need some quenching? Or, maybe you just feel so overwhelmed by God's presence and His love that you want to encompass all that He is (at least while still here on earth in your earthly body). Look no further than WPSM-, in other words, 91.1 on your radio dial. Through this writer's travels, and having lived in other areas, none can compare with the beauty and God anointed power of this Christian radio station. From the individual people who make it all happen, to the fine selection of music that comes streaming through- we are greatly blessed to be in such close proximity to these people and the music.
Third Day, Mercy Me, Chris Tomlin, Nicole C. Mullen, Kirk Franklin and the list goes on and on. They know it and they play them all. If you are new to Contemporary Christian, or if you've never tried it before, you will find there is nothing like it. It absolutely transforms your life. It changes you from the inside out. It makes you feel so close and complete with God that nothing compares. You begin to realize what you were created for, and for Whom.
Fasten your seat belt. Driving along in your car, you literally feel as if you could eject out of it as you "rock out". Maybe, you've had a rough day. Maybe you are going through some difficult times and don't believe that you can hang on. Then, some other song starts up that "releases" you from that pain. These people truly care about you. They don't do this for the money or for fame. They do it because they genuinely have a calling on their lives to serve others.
From the often hilarious and heartwarming duo of Drew and Jessica in the mornings, to newcomer Scotty (pictured here) in the afternoons, these people love what they do. It shows. They are also every bit as giving, warm and sincere in person, as they are on air.

While currently celebrating their 25th anniversary, here are some impressive facts about this station:

* Inspired by God, and due to his love of music, L.M. Thorne, the founder, put a board together to start WPSM- 25 years ago.

* They began with 387 watts

* They began as Pastors, sharing from the heart, and gradually grew to more mainstream music

* They started with approximately 500 listeners

NOW-

* They've never received grant money! It's ALL listener supported! (That says a LOT)

* The Lord has blessed them with 11,000 watts of power

* They reach from Panama City to Pensacola

* They are # 3 in a market of 35 local radio stations- (WOW!!!)

Jessica, the morning co-host, offers this insight as to why they do what they do; "when I'm out in public, at the post office for instance, and people say 'thank you' it makes it all worthwhile. I've even met people who have told me that they have contemplated suicide. They heard our station and it turned their life around."

Jessica goes on, "we've had offers to sell and we don't feel God wants us to. We love impacting people. I get calls from listeners who hear the 'mom moment', calling in to just say 'thank you for that'. Being a mother myself, I know about the challenges faced by women daily".

"Our goal is to bring the body of Christ together. It doesn't matter if you are Baptist, Methodist, Pentecostal, or whatever. It's all about God and His love", Jessica adds.

But, don't just listen to them. Get involved. Volunteer. Tell your friends and family to listen. Send them a much needed and deserved donation. Details about how to do that is available on their website. By the way, it is a very cool website! They now are streaming live, if you happen to be out of town also!  Check it out. Go to: www.wpsm.com
