Pure 24/7 Radio turns 4 weeks old today.

Here's to the future!

www.Pure247Radio.org - Everyone's cup of tea

Heavy metal, hard rock...oh and chucking in some Gospel too

Proud of oldest son. And, my word, does he have the perfect voice for this show!!!!!

Amen!

Divine and rich words for the soul (again!) from Jeff Lucas today and his "Life with Lucas" daily notes.

These daily notes are eagerly read by our whole family by the way...we love them!!

Connected to our Live Portal...usually like to do that about an hour before we go Live

Suffice to say MANY technical issues (nothing at our end) meant we didn't actually connect - to be able to speak Live - until about 15 seconds before the end of the first sing of our Sunday, Family Focus show!

Just about made it, minus a sound check and various other things we can't actually do until our computer can 'connect'

Still, that's Live radio for you, and we wouldn't want it any other way

Onwards!

PS we do a riddle every week. Have a go at an answer and we'll give you a mention on air, next Sunday 😊

This #chocolateday some of our presenters are divided over whether or not white chocolate is actually chocolate.

Comment below your opinion.

and we now have a Studio B - at our satelite recording hub. that's getting prepared for the start of October and a new presenter starting here at our global online radio station Pure 24/7 Radio (loved the comments from people from multiple locaitons in England, bonnie Scotland and even Montana in the USA)

today was a mostly good day. my first show went well - did I mention I was Live, solo, for 3 hours?!? well, that happened today and I loved every single second of it.

sadly palpitations kicked in at 5pm, but i managed to keep going until they finally subsided after 8pm a nd it seems no one noticed, 'cos i managed to finally do what my cardiologist told me to do and to ignore them - even while broadcasting Live 🙂 .

our News on the hour issue is seemingly resolved so, from tomorrow, it should get back to normal and should auto-update itself merrily without intervention...we will see...

day one? good. day two ? bring it on!

A little over 11 days til our first show is scheduled to air, Live, from #BBHQ (BerryBunch Headquarters - thanks @stevelegguk for that name!).

We're now 1/4 the way through uploading the music, with our team (currently 5 people on this task) working daily away behind the scenes - ensuring that each song is checked for clean lyrics and quality; that it measures up to our Pure 24/7 Radio standards.

We checked out our radio stream and we're loving the mix of music - you'll be able to enjoy it, too, from Friday 1st September.

This Brand New, UK based radio station is being launched all around the world starting with 6 Presenters and 13 shows all ready to go. And, as you'd expect from anything the BerryBunch are involved in, the lyrics will be pure and the music out of this world good!

You can expect plenty of Live Radio, great chats, features you'll love and music you'll want to listen to again, and again.

BREAKING NEWS from the BerryBunch

So we've gone a done a 'thing'. And it's our biggest project to date. Actually, it's part of a much wider growth for all we do!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We've enjoyed being Presenters for a radio station so much that we've only gone and set up on our own Radio Station - it'll be UK based, and available online via the new website, via your Smart Speaker or TV. The website is so squeaky new that we're still pulling the plastic covers off, but check back real soon for the web address and Social Media Channels.

It'll be Live 24/7, and will be available to you anywhere around the world. We'll let you know the name on 21st August.

We've never worked so hard and we've got some amazing people working behind the scenes helping it all become a reality.

It'll come under a new group we've also set up called Pure Media Family, which you can access right here: www.PureMediaFamily.com

The BerryBunch

14th August...just 6 days away now, and nearly ready to announce one of our newest projects!

Currently having some down time, but we are getting super excited about this announcement!!!!!

We will be shouting about this one indefinitely I suspect 😉

Still not ready to say what it is, but suffice to say you'll be able to enjoy this one wherever you can get WiFi or internet 😁 everywhere in the world............

The Family Focus Radio Show is on the move!

After a year of doing our Radio Show the BerryBunch Family Focus Radio Show has a new home with a new Radio Station: we’re super excited for this and can’t wait for it to continue in it’s new home!!!

Family Focus was a devotional we started developing more than 5 years ago, so adapting it into a Radio Show was an obvious choice.

It’ll be the same BerryBunch; the same chat; the same feature rich 3 hours and the same great selection of amazing music to keep you going through Sunday.

Watch this space – we’ll announce who secured our unique approach of broadcasting on 14th August.

The BerryBunch

Lots going on for the BerryBunch with plenty of news, a project coming to an end, new projects beginning - over the next 8-12 weeks.

From Sunday evening we have two weeks of God ordained rest/holiday.

Burt, before that, it's our final show on Konnect Radio this Sunday afternoon, from 3 til 6pm.

We joined in September 2022 &have provided, as volunteers, cover for multiple Saturday Breakfast shows, Saturday lunch & various evening shows, plus 4 weeks of weekday breakfast shows & Christmas shows too. I don't know how many hours that adds up to exactly, but somewhere north of 200 hours of radio in the last 12 months at a guess.

&, of course, many weeks as one of the team on the Big Fat Quiz, some of the ground work for Konnect Konnections & as part of the Social Media Team more120 videos were edited and 40 c 3 Sunday PM shows.

We've interviewed an author, occupational therapist, musicians, a performance poet, charities, churches, a Bible College Principal, CEOs and more.

Hey up lovely folks of the DingDash.

But, if you want to know first, you'll need to sign up to our weekly inspirational and encouraging Newsletter - BerryBytes, on our website: https://www.berrybunch.org/Groups/389635/Newsletters.aspx

Testimony Tuesday: Pray About It!

Recently, I’ve started praying about everything I’m about to do, or have already done.
I don’t mean I pray about every single thing, but most key things I do.

For instance: I pray before I start my Education – that I will remember what I learn and get good marks: I pray before I go for a journey – that I, and those with me, will have safe travels: or I might thank God, that there is food in the cupboards.

I try to thank God, after all the things I do.

One of the lessons I have learnt is to thank God for the jobs I have. One of them is hanging the washing on the line; I thank God that there are clothes to take out; that I am well enough to take the washing out; there is a means of washing our clothing.

Now that I pray before and after everything that I do. I have found that God is in more of my thoughts; I have a slightly better mindset of life and I don’t take things for grant...[READ MORE]...

Beautiful white rose - just near our front door. Can't take any credit for this though. It is very pretty though!

One Life, Live It

Every year, on 9th June, we remember our daughter Magdi. She died at 11 weeks and beat us to heaven

Every year, I'm more convinced that the legacy she left behind for us - of living for today for we don't know what will happen tomorrow

Make the most of the life you have - you only get one of them!
With God we may get many 2nd chances, but still just the one life, so make it count and live

Yesterday we had an internet connection installed. The young lad who came saw his dad walk out at a few years old. He doesn't like the society he sees around him, especially the attitudes of people his age; he knows he had to become a dad to his little brother and wants to his own life the right way

He clearly doesn't know Jesus yet. But, his parting words were simply these "man you're doing God's work as a family"

And that is a legacy I'm proud of, that was born out of the death of our daughter in 2006

#TestimonyTuesday: Play It By Ear

Play It By Ear

Something happened whilst I was at Cliff College over the Bank Holiday Weekend, something so exciting that it remains the highlight of the festival for me!

The whole of the BerryBunch was at Cliff College for the annual Fest and we spent most of our time at the BerryBunch stand sharing who we are and what we do. At the stand we were privileged to meet the leaders for the ‘Awesome’ tent for 5–11-year-olds and were invited to visit them if we could.

I had an idea pop into my head – an inspired idea to give our BerryBunch Berry stickers to the children. And so, Peter and I – I felt better going with a younger person – wondered off to the Awesome tent with a pile of cool stickers lovingly designed and created by our very own Nathan.

We were greeted with warm and friendly smiles and the leaders remembered us. Our stickers were received well, and it was decided that they should go i...[READ MORE]...
