Today is Courageous Follower Day. The day focuses on the role of followers in any team or organization. It recognizes the power of committed and engaged followers who contribute to success through their actions and decisions.
As followers of Christ, this day can highlight the importance of believers who actively live out their faith not just as passive spectators, but as committed disciples of Christ. A courageous Christian follower stands firm in biblical truth, supports godly leadership, and serves others with humility and love. They build their life around Jesus!
So how can we do this?
Spend intentional time with Jesus each day, because relationships grow through consistent connection. In the middle of life’s noise and distractions, set aside a quiet moment to simply talk with your Heavenly Father. Just as meaningful conversations require the right setting, create a daily space to be still and meet with Him.
Allow Jesus’ teachings to transform your life so that your choices and actions reflect His ways. As you walk with Him, the Holy Spirit will continue to reveal the areas that need to become more like Jesus.
Remember the WWJD bracelets—“What Would Jesus Do?” A helpful way to personalize it is to ask, “What would Jesus do if He were me right now?” That question brings His presence into our everyday decisions, conversations, and thoughts so our actions begin to align with His heart.

Meet Isabel Johnson, one of the newest voices you’ll hear on WNZR!
Click HERE to hear the full conversation between Isabel and WNZR’s Marcy Rinehart!
Isabel grew up in Bucyrus, and she’s been around MVNU since she was little. She decided to attend MVNU, because she felt the community was open and focused on faith. She is a double major in Music Performance and Communication and Digital Media at MVNU.
Isabel wants to pursue radio broadcasting so joining WNZR was a no brainer. She also wants to write songs and tell stories in her future.
When it comes to music, one of Isabel’s favorite artists is Josiah Queen. She also loves hearing Black Sheep by Ben Fuller.
Outside the studio, Isabel is involved in collagens corral which is an ensemble choir, and she is excited for their upcoming performance, Big Fish. Her favorite food is fried chicken with some mac and cheese and fries. On the weekend, she likes to read, make crafts, and read her Bible.
Isabel shared how God has been helping her with her self-worth, and how he has helped through tough times. She feels now that she is unique and loved by God! Her two favorite verses are Psalms 46:5 and Psalms 46:10a:
“God is within her, she will not fall; God will help her at break of day.” – Psalms 46:5
““Be still, and know that I am God” – Psalms 46:10a
You can catch Isabel on-air Tuesday nights from 11 p.m. to midnight and on Friday from 11 a.m. to noon.
