New Music Report – April 2024 Spring has officially sprung and the new music is as plentiful as the flamboyant flowers in April. Here’s what to listen for as you tune in this month. Our God is a healer and we have to trust that He will not leave us where we are. Big Daddy...
New Music Report March 2024 As we turn the calendar to March, The Voice of Hope has some great new music (and artists) to listen for as you tune in. Apollo LTD are back at it this spring with their latest single “Future’s Calling.” As usual, Jordan Phillips and Andrew Stark bring a unique sound...
From Us to You March 2024 Ag-fair season may be in the rearview mirror here in the islands, but we have a lot to look forward to! Whether you went to the Farmer’s Agricultural and Cultural Fair on St Thomas in January, or AgriFest on St Croix in February, you know that the arts and...
I don't know about you, but for Heather and me, summertime is porch time! We eat our meals there listening to the birds chattering at the feeder; we relax there in the evening and watch the fireflies blinking in the trees. Any opportunity finds us either sitting on the porch together, or Heather tending to her flowers that decorate it. These simple pleasures bring peace to our summer days, all the while in the back of our mind knowing that all too soon the busyness of back-to-school season will begin.
As we turn the calendar to December, we’ll be turning on the Christmas music here on Your Voice of Hope! As usual, there’s no shortage of new Christmas music (and some remade classics) as you celebrate the birth of Jesus!
While you may not be familiar with the name Jordan Janzen, you’ve certainly heard his voice before. Jordan is from the Canadian band The Color, and he’s recently released his first single as a solo artist called “You Can Let Go.”

Recently, I was giving a tour of the studios to a young couple. As we wrapped up, I was asked a two-part question: what is your greatest joy in radio ministry, and what is your greatest challenge? What great questions! It only took me a second to come up with my greatest joy: connecting with our listeners. Feedback, comments, and encouragement from listeners reminds me that what we say on the air matters more than we know!
Despite the way things look at times in the world, we have much to be thankful for! A relatively quiet hurricane season is coming to a close, and we will soon see the temperatures moderating just a bit. As Thanksgiving approaches, we are blessed to have you as a part of our extended family. Your faithful commitment to the mission of WIVH has allowed us to share the message of hope, love, and salvation through the airwaves, and for that we are truly thankful!
I love the church! When I say that, I don't mean I love MY church, I mean I love the "Big C" church. The Bible talks about Christ loving the church so much that he gave himself for it (Ephesians 5:25-32). That's a lot of love! It's a love that doesn't come easy to us, but neither is it optional for us. So many people criticize the church when really they are criticizing individuals in the church. Pastors often feel this criticism deeply because it can feel like a personal attack, even if it's not–I know because I have the privilege of meeting regularly with these undershepherds who express their desire to "shepherd the flock... as God would have (them)... being examples to the flock,” (1 Peter 5:1-2).
