Cochren & Co. and Parking Lot
Monday, 11 September 2023
All of us at KAMB hope and pray that our listening family has found encouragement and hope by listening to this station. Every day brings new challenges, but our goal is to remind everyone who listens that our God is here with us. Whether you’re a new Christian, a seasoned listener, or a curious nonbeliever, our station has something to offer you. So, keep your radios on and stay alert for Cochren & Co.’s latest hit, Parking Lot.
Cochren & Co.
Cochren & Co. first began when Michael Cochren and some friends got together and started a band. The group traveled together and played music at different venues across the country. Cochren & Co. still consists of a group of friends but now also includes Michael Cochren’s wife Leah. Since their initial formation, Cochren & Co. have released multiple top hit singles and received a GMA Dove Award nomination. The band’s debut album with Gotee Records released in 2021 and their music received further recognition from Billboard and GRAMMY.com. Cochren & Co. were also invited to appear on the Grand Ole Opry stage in June 2023. With all these great achievements already tackled, Cochren & Co. are sure to continue their success as they glorify God through their inspiring music. Their latest release, Parking Lot, will touch the hearts of listeners everywhere as we are invited to remember our testimonies.
Parking Lot
It can be really easy to believe that every salvation story is better or prettier than our own. All of us have heard powerful testimonies about people hearing God’s voice, being miraculously healed, or immediately turning from addiction. In Parking Lot, we’re all reminded that the miraculous still happens in small moments and unexpected places, too. Just as many experience dramatic interventions, many experience quiet ones. No matter where your first encounter with the Lord was, that moment of connection is significant. Parking Lot draws attention to that intimacy with God.
It’s in the quiet moments when God speaks the loudest. He knows when the best time to act is, and He knows exactly how to transform a simple moment into a life-defining one. For Michael Cochren, that moment happened in a parking lot while he was listening to the radio. In the unlikeliest of places, God got personal with Cochren just like He does with all of us. No testimony looks exactly like another’s, but all of them lead back to the same result: relationship with God. Whether it’s in the middle of a storm or the middle of a Parking Lot, God meets all of us exactly when we need Him to.

Lyrics
It wasn't where I thought we'd meet Outside of a dorm room on Franklin Street With tears in my eyes in the driver's seat That's just the place God came for me It was a still small voice On a Tuesday night Like You were right there with me On the passenger side You turned that car Into a mountain top Oh, I met Jesus in a parking lot I ran from You for quite a while But You called out in love to this wayward child You didn't wait at the altar for me to walk the aisle You grabbed my heart right through that radio dial It was a still small voice On a Tuesday night Like You were right there with me On the passenger side You turned that car Into a mountain top Oh, I met Jesus in a parking lot Oh, I saw the light in that dashboard glow Oh, threw my hands in the air when You saved my soul It wasn't where I thought we'd meet Outside of a dorm room on Franklin Street It was a still small voice On a Tuesday night Like You were right there with me On the passenger side You turned that car Into a mountain top Oh, I met Jesus in a parking lot It was a still small voice On a Tuesday night Like You were right there with me On the passenger side You turned that car Into a mountain top Oh, I met Jesus in a parking lot Oh
Conclusion
The things we spend our attention on are important. The shows we watch, music we listen to, and things we pursue have the potential to uplift or destroy us. Cochren & Co. illustrate this through their message in Parking Lot. The last thing Michael Cochren expected that night was to encounter the living God. Yet he did: through the radio. This is the kind of story that should make us pause and realize how pivotal our influences are. Stations like KAMB want to point our listeners’ focus back to the Lord during challenging and joyful times. To do that, though, we all have to seek out God even during the struggle.
The next time you find yourself flipping through stations, keep your ears open for Parking Lot. To hear more testimonies by artists like Cochren & Co., keep your radio dial tuned to KAMB.

Consumed By Fire and Walk With Jesus
Monday, 28 August 2023
KAMB is excited to keep encouraging our listening family as August ends and the new school year begins. As we look for ways to honor God every day, remember that worship music is a great place to start! Among the latest hits at our station you’ll find Walk With Jesus by Consumed By Fire.
Consumed By Fire
Consumed By Fire first began when three brothers decided to create music together. Caleb, Jordan, and Josh Ward were raised in a Christian home with pastoring parents in Oklahoma. As the brothers got older, they developed their musical talents and used their gifts for the Lord. Their parents’ ministry was a large influence in their lives, and they later sought to engage in ministry themselves. Such focus is clear in every song Consumed By Fire releases as they boldly tackle hard truths head on. The Christian walk is messy and full of difficulty, and these brothers are unafraid to talk about it. To live for Christ is to die to oneself daily. This is the message Consumed By Fire seeks to share.
Over the years, Consumed By Fire has released multiple albums and great singles. Their most recent album, however, has driven up their popularity with its raw themes and powerful lyrics. Walk With Jesus is their latest hit and you don’t want to miss it.
If it wasn’t this form of ministry, if it wasn’t music, it would just be something else. Ministry is what we were born to do.

Walk With Jesus
In Walk With Jesus, Consumed By Fire describes the character of Jesus and the reality of choosing His ways over our own. Unlike anything this world can give us, Jesus offers us eternal promises and security. Something spiritual, transformative, and powerful happens when we commit our lives to Christ. Everything that once held value to us shifts. We may still care about those things, but our love for Jesus outweighs them all. Walk With Jesus reminds us of how much better things are when we’re pursuing Him. Every struggle, temptation, and heartache becomes endurable when we walk with our Savior.
Yet, there is an even deeper struggle when we choose to follow Jesus: it isn’t easy. Sometimes the path towards Him is the loneliest and longest one we’ll ever walk on. There will be days when the questions overwhelm us and the fears threaten to destroy. There will be moments when we feel like we’ve wandered too far or done too much. But choosing Jesus will never fail us. Walk With Jesus outlines the hardships of choosing our faith but it also outlines the joy. He loves us more than we’ll ever know. He’ll never leave us. He’s always here to restore us. No matter the hardship, life with Jesus is infinitely better than life without Him.

Let KAMB ease your worries while you get back to school ready and enjoy uplifting music and programs, now if someone can tell the fall weather to join the program! As you go about your week, keep your ears open for I Believe by Phil Wickham!
Phil Wickham
Phil Wickham raised in Southern California with his siblings and parents who were worship leaders at their church. Wickham at 13 began leading worship after feeling the need to make faith his own. After graduating from Calvary Christian School in Vista, California, Wickham decided to pursue a career in music. Throughout his career, Wickham has released several albums and attention-grabbing singles. Some of his greatest hits include “Living Hope,” “This is Amazing Grace,” and “What a beautiful name.” As a result Wickham was nominated for two Grammy Awards, an Amercian Music Award, a Billboard Music Award and sixteen Dove Awards four of which he won! Wickham continues to release powerful music that many of you probably sing during worship on Sundays, as a result his latest single, I Believe, is already gearing up to be another fan favorite.
I Believe
I Believe is Phil Wickham’s new released single from his upcoming album of the same name.
“There are so many searching for truth, meaning, belonging, purpose, hope, fulfillment, peace and healing,” Wickham passionately stated about his inspiration for ‘I Believe.‘ “I have found all of these things and more in the person of Jesus Christ. I think the world is desperate to see and hear people full of hope, joy, love and confidence telling their stories about how Jesus saved and changed their lives; about how he is the best thing they have ever found, and he will be the best thing anyone will ever find. My song, “I Believe,” was written to shout about Jesus from the rooftops. Something that we as believers can unify together on and say with joy in our hearts that we believe in the mighty name of Jesus! I can’t wait to sing this one with you all. I’ve never put more time, effort and prayer into a project, and I couldn’t be more excited to share it with you all when it releases on Aug. 18!”
Wickham uses his song to remind us that believing Jesus is our foundation is the only way to go through life, with peace, love, and happiness! I Believe reminds us not to be ashamed of the gospel. That Jesus Christ is the one who saved our lives and loves us unconditionally. Wickham does a fantastic job of mixing worship music, with an upbeat tempo. It makes you want to dance and shout from the top of your lungs! I Believe is sure to be at the top of you playlist while you are on your morning run, cleaning the house, or jamming out in your car, tune in to KAMB and blast Wickham’s newest hit!
