Guests on Today's Morning Show

We are suspending normal programming today to allow you to hear our hearts and the about the strategic relationship we have formed with Equip.

I've invited a number of friends to join us this morning:

• John Hull, president of Equip - will join us this morning to share his heart about equipping leaders around the world.
• Dale Vermillion - many of our listener are unable to give to ministries like WRAF because of debt and Dale will give us tips to get out of debt and to use that new money to further the work of God.
• Wayne Shepherd - Wayne is the voice of many programs heard on Christian radio throughout the United States. You can hear Wayne on the program Walk in the Word with James McDonald.
• The Sonflowerz - this sister duo has become a special friend to The Morning Show and they will be performing at this year's AtlantaFest. They have a heart for ministry and missions.

It's a fun-filled, jam-packed morning. Listen live here and call to support this ministry at 1-800-251-8326.

Follow the Son

A new group in Christian music has made a real impact on me. The Sonflowerz have that Natalie Merchant sound and lyrics that keep your heart and mind focused on Christ. In this morning's "CRW First Every Morning" lead singer for the group Elisa Leander gave a very simple yet profound devotional on following Christ:

Have you ever seen a field of sunflowers? On our tours through Kansas, we often see many acres of them. No matter the time of day, the bright blossoms follow the sun, absorbing the warm rays. As followers of Christ, we want to set our eyes on Him daily, never looking away. Hebrews 12:2 says, “Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the Author and Perfecter of our faith.” As the radiant sunflower grows old and matures, you’ll see it droop a little to let its seeds fall. I see this as a symbol of surrender, and worship. Whenever you see a sunflower, remember its posture towards the sun. Let it be a reminder to follow Christ with similar devotion.

Thanks Elisa for reminding us to keep our eyes on Christ.
