This Winning Wednesday, September 8th, WJTL will be giving away autographed Jonny Diaz “More Beautiful You” CDs all day long!  It has the song “More Beautiful You” on it in addition to his new single “Waiting Room”, a bonus track called “The Opener” and 8 others.  To win it, we recommend having your phone close by and having your radio turned on all day with the  volume cranked up!

This week, WJTL’s Feedback Giveback is giving away the Third Day hat pictured below!  Leave a comment at any blog at www.WJTL.com before midnight on Sunday, September 5th and you’ll automatically be entered to win!  We recently began playing Third Day’s rockin’ new single “Lift Up Your Face” from their next release “Move”, which hits stores October 19th, 2010.  Let’s get some conversation going: what’s your favorite Third Day song?  Comment below!

Listen to WJTL all day long this Wednesday, September 1st for lots of chances to call in and win an autographed copy of the new Phillips, Craig & Dean CD “Fearless!”  It has “Revelation Song” on it in addition to their new single “Great Are You Lord”, a cover of the Hillsong song “From The Inside Out” and a bunch of others!

B. Reith (“B.” for Brian) was one of WJTL’s favorite recurring interviews this summer at both the Creation East and Purple Door festivals! He’s a great musician and a terrific artist to interview, thanks to his friendly laid-back personality and genuine interaction. We had a lot of good interviews this summer, actually! Eddie is still busy editing and getting the finished Purple Door videos uploaded, which he does almost daily. Check out the Videos Tab and the Listen Tab at our website for the coverage and tune in for Winning Wednesday (August 25th) for B. Reith “Now Is Not Forever” CD giveaways all day long!

KRISTI LEIGH — I didn’t think we could get any cooler or more unique Summer Of Happiness prizes from the David Crowder Band.  After all, they already gave winning WJTL listeners a trip for 2 to the Creation Festival and an entire roll of “Oh Happiness” smiley face stickers!  But they just keep getting more novel!  This time, we have a Summer Of Happiness record to give away–yes, it’s David Crowder Band VINYL from WJTL’s Feedback Giveback up for grabs this week!  (It’s the 4-song Summer Happiness EP on vinyl!  It includes acoustic versions of the songs “Alleluia”, “How He Loves”, “Oh Happiness” and “Shadows”.)  So comment on any blog at www.WJTL.com before midnight on Sunday, August 29th and you’ll automatically be entered to win!  Even if you don’t own a record player, it’s still a good looking prize!  To get the conversation going, what was your favorite part of Summer 2010 so far? (since it isn’t officially Fall 2010 until late September!)  Comment below!

KRISTI LEIGH — Purple Door 2010 is coming up this weekend, so this week we’re giving away a Purple Door Feedback Giveback prize pack!  Comment on any blog at www.WJTL.com before midnight this Sunday, August 15th, and you’ll be eligible to win these CDs from Lecrae, B. Reith and Family Force 5! 

To get the conversation going, I’m wondering who you’re most looking forward to seeing at Purple Door!  It’s the 15th anniversary of the festival, and Leigh Nash’s appearance is one of my most anticipated of the year since Sixpence None The Richer used to play at Purple Door Fests from years gone by–and I was there!  I’m also looking forward to House of Heroes, B. Reith, Seabird, Children 18:3, John Mark McMillan and Family Force 5!  What about you?  Comment below…
