Hi, I'm Melody and I'm Candy and you're listening to Quarks, Bumps and Bruises. As you know, we are all about taking the 30-day challenge here at Joy FM and we got some friends that agree with us on that. 

0:00:19 - Jacob

Hey everybody, this is Jacob from the Sound. We have a new year in front of us, one that'll offer challenges, success, joy and even heartache. While we can't control everything that'll come our way, we can certainly work to maintain a positive attitude. Listening to Southern Gospel music each and every day can help you maintain a positive attitude. Take the 30-day challenge and listen exclusively to this station for the next 30 days and see if it doesn't make you more positive. It's a new year. Make it count. 

0:00:57 - Melody

We love our friends. The Sound it is Rob, Jacob, and Levi father, two sons, and they believe in the 30-day challenge and they themselves have seen how it can make such a difference in lives and Candy, we do have so many that take our 30-day challenge. Talk about that a little bit, what that means. 

0:01:19 - Melody

Well, it's where you take 30 days, simple as that, and you listen to nothing but Christian music. 

0:01:27 - Melody

Joy FM in particular. 

0:01:29 - Melody

That's right and notice the difference, that the hope, the energy, the excitement, just the joy of living life.

You know, I have a niece I've told this story before. She had a job that was very stressful and she had to drive from her home to that particular job and it took her about 45 minutes. And she said that she would listen to some secular stuff as she was driving into work. And she said I just every day was just a chore. It was just a chore to be there to go and I just couldn't seem to get myself in a right mind, in a good perspective for the day. And so I told her. I said do me a favor. I said I want you to listen to Joy FM for the next 30 days. I don't want you to listen to any other radio but Joy FM. Leave it on there. Leave it on so that when you get in your car you're listening. As you're driving to work you're listening. And I said even if you can listen while you're at your desk at work, listen then to. And I said just give me 30 days. 

After that 30 days, she called me and said Aunt Melody, I got to tell you something. She said I did what you asked me to do and I cannot tell you the difference that that made. She said my job is still hard, my job still has a lot of challenges that I'm struggling with. But she said now, when I get to my job, my perspective is different. Attitude yeah, she said, because from my drive, from my house, from my driveway, to the driveway of where I work, 45 minutes away. She said I have been encouraged. She said I have laughed. She said you know you hear things that make you laugh. She said I hear these devotions and the prayers. I hear encouragement to just help me get through the day. And she said that alone just uplifts me enough to say you know what? I can go in here and I can fight for this day. And so we've heard countless stories of just that.

More than one year ago, I accepted the 30 day challenge. Thank God, it became a 365 day privilege and pleasure to listen to Joy FM, appropriately named because it has brought so much joy into my life. Believe me, god works through Joy FM. He speaks to you daily through gospel music. May God continue to bless all the staff and I encourage you to support their ministry both prayerfully and financially. God bless you all. 

0:04:07 - Melody

Maybe you already listen to Joy FM, but maybe somebody in your life does not, and they're struggling with discouragement, with fear, anxiety. Why don't you encourage them to take that 30-day challenge? You can get more of the details online at joyfm.org. 

0:04:25 - Melody

You know, candy, we live in such a world now that is dark and getting darker, it seems, by the day. Turn on the news for five minutes and you can tell that. You could even replace your news that you watch with listening to joy FM at home. A lot of people say, well, I could do the 30-day challenge, but I'm only in my car for 15 minutes or that kind of thing. But you can listen to it at home while you're doing the dishes, while you're cooking dinner, in place of what tends to bring us all down and y'all. Let's just be honest, that's the news, right, yeah? And so Listening to it at home, I think, can also be a big difference. I think we think about it being in the car all the time, but you can listen to it at work, you can listen to it at home, or in the car or while you're. If you're a jogger and you run, put that in your earbuds and you you listen to joy FM as you're running. 

There's just so many ways for us to be able, I think, especially in this day and time, to try to keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, and what you hear on joy FM is all about Jesus. 

Yeah, we may share a laugh, but that's to encourage your heart. We share devotions and prayers and all kinds of things to try to uplift you and keep you centered, to keep your perspective in the right place and to focus on light instead of Darkness, and so that's why we know that the 30-day challenge works and candy. We've heard countless stories. I mean, we've heard a couple already. We've heard from one of our artists the sound about how important it is, and then we, just a few seconds ago, heard from someone who's actually done it for a year yeah, and it made a huge impact in her life. But we've got countless stories of others who call and tell us I can't believe the difference it is made in my life. So it is simply titled the 30-day challenge and we invite you to do that along with us. And Also, after the 30 days, we'd love to hear from you. 

0:06:32 - Melody

Yeah, let us know. Joy FM org. Or you can call or text triple eight, nine, eight, five, sixty, nine, thirty six. 

0:06:40 - Melody

All right, y'all, let's make 2024 the best year yet, and let this be a part of it by saying I'm going to listen to joy FM and I'm gonna let the words and the ministry of joy FM sink into my absolute soul as we fight to keep our hearts and minds alive and open and focused on the only True thing that matters, and that, of course, is Jesus Christ.
