THE FIVE PRINCIPLES OF AN IN-TOUCH GIVER

As we take the time to ask you to pledge your support to Pulse 101.7FM during the month of April, we are excited about how Pulse is being used by God in our city. Your gift to Pulse 101.7 is important, and makes a far-reaching impact! These “In-Touch” principles have helped many givers get started, increase, and be incredibly blessed by their choice to give back to God. Thank God for His indescribable Gift!

1. In-Touch givers practice the SECRET principle. You don’t give to be patted on the back by others (Matthew 6:3-4).

2. In-Touch givers practice the FAITHFUL principle. You believe God is the supplier of all your resources – and you enjoy giving back to the One Who is blessing you. (Proverbs 3:9-10).

3. In-Touch givers practice the JOY principle. You know that generosity is good for your heart, life, and soul (2 Corinthians 9:7). And you want to honor God by separating yourself from some of your possessions.

4. In-Touch givers practice the OVERFLOW principle. You give generously out of your intense love for God and others (2 Corinthians 9:6), and it overflows from your grateful heart!

5. In-Touch givers practice the EXCITEMENT principle. You give expectantly, not merely offering money, but your heart of hope that God will multiply your gifts to bless others – and to bless Him. (2 Corinthians 9:10-15).

In his book The Treasure Principle Randy Alcorn says “You can’t take it with you, but you can send it on ahead!” Whether you give to a local mission like Pulse 101.7FM, a well-digging project in Africa, a hungry child in the Sudan, or your local church where you are fed the Word of God – your choice to give says you believe your giving heart really does matter to God. And that you are confident in the future reward of being with Him forever!

Start small and increase as God builds your faith.

You won’t believe what giving can do for your heart!

We pray you’ll include Pulse 101.7FM as a part of your giving choices. If so, share your story, connect with us and even make your pledge by clicking here! Thank you!

Ah, the memories!

We’ve had so many neat interactions with listeners over the years – it can be really fun for us as a staff to sit down and reminisce each Spring as we celebrate another birthday for Pulse 101.7FM.

I remember in particular one little girl who showed up during a fundraiser with a jar full of change and dollar bills. She loved the station so much that when she heard we needed more support, she rode her bike around the neighborhood and collected from everyone who would give.

I ran into Liz at this year’s Rachel Leigh’s Girls’ Night Out. She’s all grown up now, but she’s still listening, and she continues to support Pulse music. I think that’s pretty cool.

Relevant music. Positive lyrics. Eighteen years strong. Happy Birthday to Today’s Positive Music, Pulse 101.7.

A Heart For Hope

If I’m totally honest, I often feel like the Christian culture in America can be a bit shallow. Sure, people care about what God wants, but I think most of our days get caught up in all the things we have to manage, and the things we wish we had.

Deciding to pay for the coffee of the person behind you in the drive-thru lane is nice, and I’m not discouraging it, but don’t you think God also has bigger plans for those of us who want to share His love with the world? And what would happen if we not only asked Him, but took the time to listen to His voice and began to diligently follow His will for our lives? I admit, when I watch those in whom God seems to be working very visibly, I’m not always sure I want the burden. Yet it’s incredibly beautiful!

The Carson family is a perfect example. Their daughter, Karis, is in my daughter’s 2^nd grade class, and they have seven children in all. SEVEN! I often marvel when I sit behind their humongous conversion van in the pickup lane at school and wonder how that mom does it. I mean, how do you cart around seven children and stay on top of everything? High school, middle school, grade school, preschool, and (I think) one still at home with mom. Talk about a crazy and full life!

Yet when Shelley Carson heard that her best friend’s adoption of a pre-schooler from China was falling through due to the discovery of fatal heart defect in the little girl, she and her husband, Kevin, knew they couldn’t stand by and do nothing. Especially when they felt God tugging at their hearts to pray and seek His will. And you know what? They’re going to adopt that little girl! They’re going to teach her about Jesus, love her, seek the best medical care, and give her a home for as long as God grants her life. Even though it would be super-easy to make the excuse that they’re already too busy and have enough responsibilities, they’re listening to God and taking a leap of faith. THIS is the sort of example I’m drawn to. THIS is the sort of faith Americans should aspire to. Wow.

Click here to check out the Carson’s story. It’s a quick read that’s really inspiring, and I hope it’ll give you the same ‘faith-boost’ it has given me… it may even inspire you to click the ‘donate’ button and be a part of this neat story!
