During the lockdowns, I was experiencing severe panic attacks, I couldn’t sleep, was overthinking and questioning my identity as well. A friend recommended TheLight and then I saw one of the large billboards and I started listening. I didn’t expect that I would be so connected to TheLight… there was one time when I was listening to TheLight and Tauren Wells song, ‘Known’ came on and it really spoke to me in that dark place I was in. I just needed for God to remind me that I was loved, I was seen, and he cared about my hopes and my dreams for the future. Emily, Clayton
Christian faith is important to me. I want to leave a legacy to my kids. Listening to TheLight was such a great way to bring faith into my kids’ world on a daily basis. This year both my daughters moved out of home. I was reversing my daughter’s car and when I turned the car on, TheLight was playing. It’s the habits we give our children that make all the difference. It’s an essential service for parents. Even the music, it’s so good the songs don’t have profanities. When I’m driving my own mum and elderly aunts around, I always have TheLight on as I don’t want them to hear those types of songs either. I don’t have to worry about my mum sitting in the car with me because I have TheLight. It’s safe for her too. Cynthia - Oakleigh South
I wouldn't know what I would do if TheLight wasn't around. Once I started listening to TheLight I couldn’t stop. TheLight sets me up every morning in such a positive way. It’s a part of my morning routine. It takes me an hour to get to work and so listening sets me up for the day. Sometimes I laugh myself silly and other times I tear up – it really grounds me. You can't get this from any other radio station. The impact TheLight makes is so profound. It’s allowed me to express myself in a safe space. There’s no shame in it. A lot of men can store up their emotions and at times they feel there’s no one they can turn to. I love hearing Kel open up on air. Eric, Mitcham
