Burning Dog Radio – STREAMING ONLINE

Since Burning Dog Radio started streaming online in March 2021, the Menomonie crew is not the only radio crew anymore! Both the Duluth/Superior and the River Falls ministries are able to serve at the station since the station is worldwide! If you listen to the station regularly, that’s why you might have heard some less-familiar “radio voices!” It’s so awesome that we can all share BDR as our own station now.

We have been advertising by billboards, buses, posters, social media ads, and selling merch in the Blind Munchies Coffeehouse. 

This is Church? billboard from this year – promoting Believers City Church and the station.

Pray for the new locations and their servants and the listeners in those areas – that God would use our station in their lives to bring them closer to Him. 

Who is listening?

We have been tracking the listeners of our station since we started to stream, which is really encouraging. We can’t track who listens through the radio frequency, but the stream does make the station more accessible for people to listen anywhere. 

Since March first, we have had….

  • 3,318 individual listeners listen for…
  • 2,102 hours.

Praise God! Please pray for all of these people. Many are not local to Menomonie, Duluth, and River Falls. Some are in other states in the USA, others are across the pond(s) in Ireland, China, Russia, Spain, Germany, and more.

Community & College Broadcasts

Over the summer, we were fortunate to broadcast at some community events! 

Menomonie broadcasted the Music Over Menomin concert at the public library on July 1st when Good Morning Bedlam played. It was a great turnout and we hope to do it again next summer.

We also got to join the fun of National Night Out on August 3rd. We met a lot of people and had a great time being a part of it. 

River Falls was able to broadcast live from Music in the Park at Veterans Park alongside the Blind Munchies Coffeehouse serving coffee. 

The Duluth/Superior crew had their first live broadcast on Sept. 20th promoting Twin Ports Street Level Ministries on the UW-Superior college campus! They were able to meet a lot of people and did a raffle for prizes from companies around Superior.

Please pray for these in-person efforts, as the devil loves to mess with technology… Pray for us to keep Jesus central and not the technology…our station is pretty cool, but God is WAY cooler! 

Believers Campus Church Broadcast

Believers Campus Church

Since the launch of the campus church plant at the Street Level House this past month, Burning Dog Radio has been broadcasting the service of Pastor Ben teaching at Believers Campus Church. This broadcast takes place on Wednesdays right after Pastor Tim’s Wednesday Rewind at Believers City Church. All the broadcasts have sounded good and we are so thankful we can do this, and fairly easily.

Prayers

Thank you for your prayers and support (sharing, merch, sharing, posters etc) with this new endeavor. Please pray for our listeners and us as we continue this year!

Welcome back, students!

This semester the Burning Dog Radio is working more than ever in the realm of “getting out there” and in advertising. We were able to purchase space on the billboard near Stout’s football stadium, we have shifted our shows to the Blind Munchies trailer, and have been able to get down to Stout with the oft-used corner counter.

We have leveled up our merch as well! We recently got some masks with our patches on them available at the coffeehouse, as well as a new batch of hats and tumblers. If you purchase the not-as-famous-as-the-butterfly-latte-yet Sweet Beats Latte you get a tumbler for 2 bucks.

It has been great to be able to get the word out there about the station and we have already gotten some interest from people about volunteering with the station. We are excited to see what God is going to do this year with us and through us. Pray that he uses us and the station to reach people for the Kingdom.

Evangelism Summit

We’ve been blessed to be able to host (shortly) an Evangelism Summit for college students – including those in Street Level Ministries. We’ll have Pastor Tim as guest speaker slash MC. We have had a lot of fun naming the event but we did finally settle on “College Evangelism Summit”.

Our Facebook image for this can be found here.

The details are still rolling out, but we can be in prayer for this event as it will focus on how we can reach our culture during this time as college students. We are really excited to be able to help facilitate this event and hope that God will use this summit as a learning and growing experience for all involved!

For additional info on any of this, you can email wrjflp@gmail.com.

Moving our Shows Outside

Now that the Munchies in Menomonie has moved outside, we have been able to utilize some of the space in the trailer for doing our radio shows.

Keep your eyes peeled for Rachel, Eric, Lucy and James as we delve back into shows this semester. It has been a great way to be able to interact with patrons of the coffeehouse as we do our sets.

Thanks to all the coffeehouse workers for putting up with us as we continue to work out the glitches!

What a Semester

We at Burning Dog Radio have been working on improving our marketing as well as production work internally. The work has been fun – and interesting. We can always improve on that college radio feel. If you have been in the radio room to get production done as of late – you may have seen new faces in the station. Eric and Grant have been working on Sundays – Eric with the Sunday production and Grant on the Featured Artists segment. Don’t worry, they don’t bite…well….yeah, no they don’t.

Featured Artists

We’ve started featuring artists on the station weekly. If you’re listening, we are playing the featured songs in the 11 o’clock hour M-F.

This has been good in the sense that it adds some texture to the programming, and all of the staff has been involved in choosing the music, creating spots, marketing, etc.

his month we have featured Ben Howard, NF, The Score, and a treehouse wait. Check out our Spotify playlist with the featured songs for January.

Pray for the Station

Please pray for the station!

That we are unified as a group
Since we are a college radio station, we want to impact the students at Stout. Pray that we have a heart to get out there.
That we grow in our desire to follow Jesus (in his plan to reach people, specifically)
For the students and their growth and service in the radio

Pastor’s Recommended Media

Mark Driscoll

Mark Driscoll has released a new book called Christians Might Be Crazy. In it, he seeks to answer the 7 top objections to the Christian faith. In union with the release of the book, Pastor Mark has begun a compelling new series at Trinity Church in AZ to cover each of these objections in individual sermons.

The introductory sermon talks about the issue of intolerance.
