This weekend, our hearts were broken by the tragedy that touched Traverse City. And maybe today, you’re feeling the weight of it all—grief, fear, or even confusion.

If that’s you, I want to remind you: God is near.

The Bible says in Psalm 34:18, “The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.” That’s not just a verse—it’s a promise.

Jesus told us we’d have trouble in this life. But He also said, “Take heart; I have overcome the world” (John 16:33, ESV).

At Northern Christian Radio, we’re here to walk with you, pray with you, and point you to hope in Jesus. He sees. He cares. And He’s holding you right now.

Let’s keep praying for our city, loving one another, and trusting the One who never lets go.

God bless you—and God be near to Traverse City.
