Friend. It’s time for our Spring Pledge Drive, and we need your help.

We hear story after story of how God is using Pulse 101.7FM in the lives of thousands of listeners. But this mission isn’t possible without your help.

We have a need to grow our monthly Pulse Giving Family members from 320 to 350. While 30 new monthly supporters isn’t a huge number, it is vital to the success of the Pulse 101.7FM mission. We also need 100 others to give a one-time gift.

Will you pray today regarding two things?

Consider what God would have you do as part of the Pulse Giving Family. $20, $30 or $50 per month is so helpful.
If you’re already giving, consider asking a friend to join you or making an additional one-time gift?

Thanks for listening as we share stories of how God is making a difference in many lives through Pulse 101.7FM. And thanks for doing your part to make Pulse possible! If you’re passionate about Pulse music, we need to hear from you!

Member Mission Days 2021

At this time last year, the Pulse 101.7FM crew was preparing for our biggest and busiest year in our history. We had grown to a team of four full-time staff members and a couple part-time (plus an army of volunteers!). We were on track to hit a record number of events throughout central Iowa. Then
COVID hit… and we responded.

I’m so proud of my team. We worked hard to encourage tens of thousands of listeners on the air. At-home listening grew through our app and the use of smart speakers. And we learned how to do events a different way to continue connecting face to face.

Through it all, we’ve seen God use the station to encourage hearts:

“I want to thank all of you at the station for everything you do, especially during this time. People need a message of hope and reassurance. I’m so glad you are here!”
“Words cannot express how much your station has shaped my restoration of faith and leaning into God through all seasons of my life. Thanks for what you do to build strong and faith-filled individuals and support our community!”
“My husband and I moved to DSM about a year ago and quickly found Pulse – now it’s the only station we listen to! Thanks for all you do and all the awesome music!”
“I have taken the 30 Day Challenge, and what a difference it has made! I feel so positive going into my day regardless of how taxing I know it is going to be.”

As we look to the return of some some exciting events this summer (CityStops, the Des Moines Arts Festival, the Iowa State Fair, etc.), we are committed to sharing HOPE with more listeners than ever!

Pulse 101.7 is listener-supported, and Member Mission Days are going on now. Will you pray and join us with your best gift? Any amount helps, and when you give a one-time gift of $240 or more or a new ongoing monthly gift of $20, we’ll send you our new spring t-shirt!

We’re better together! Join us today with your gift here!

Sincerely,

Rachel Leigh
Station Manager

Ed’s Encouraging Listener Story

We recently heard from Ed, who discovered Pulse about a decade ago:

“I grew up in southwest Iowa. When I was 16, my older sister was going to DMACC in Ankeny and my parents let me drive my first interstate trip to stay with her for the weekend. On the way, I was scanning the radio and heard Switchfoot playing on Pulse. I was blown away and so excited that a radio station was playing such quality Christian music! I can still remember that drive in 2008.

I later went to college at Iowa State and listened to Pulse on the local signal (Ames 95.5) that made it available to me while driving, while with friends, as my alarm… It meant so much to me to have that music available during those four years where God grew me so much in my faith and surrounded me with so much amazing Christian community and support.

After college I went down to tech school for the Air Force in Texas and now armed with my first smart phone, learned that Pulse had an app. That app truly became my go-to for music while in the car, running around, all of it. Secretly, one of my favorite parts of the app was hearing the weather forecast for back home. Such a blessing it was to have that link to home.

After Texas, God took me to Alaska where I’ve been since 2015. While serving in the military here I’ve gone to Korea, Japan, Guam and all over the U.S. Every step of the way, I can’t begin to explain what a blessing it’s been to have the Pulse app so readily available.

Thank you so much for the God honoring music that you provide.”

Isn’t God’s timing just perfect? When we think of just how many people have had access to the encouragement Pulse provides as they grow up and discover their God-given purpose, we’re blown away. We’d like to invite you to help make this continue to happen for thousands of listeners! Make a year-end tax-deductible gift to your station today. Thank you!
