New Chavah app in the iOS App Store

Image
New Chavah app for iOS just rolled out this morning!  Friends, do you use an iPhone or iPad? If so, go to the app store and download the new Chavah app . It has numerous fixes for iOS: it fixes layout issues, better connectivity and consistent streaming experience, music continues playing if the screen is off or the app is in the background, among other things. Give it a shot and let me know how it works for you. 😎 p.s. we're hard at work on the next version of Chavah for all platforms, which will include new features like playlists, custom stations (e.g. "shabbat music"), and more. Keep an eye out for that in 2024.

Shalom dear friends and happy Hanukkah! 🕎 The second of several new singles released by friends of the station The Nesbitts: The Nesbitts - Crying Out Scott Nesbitt writes, "Crying Out" just as the thief on the cross prayed a small but effective prayer, this song is about the mess we make out of our lives with bad choices in needing to be rescued by Yeshua. Man, I love his heart. The words of Crying Out reflect my own heart and my own struggles in life. Dear friends, may this song encourage you as it's encouraging me now.

Shalom friends, and an early happy Thanksgiving to all of you. Friend of the station Scott Nesbitt reached out to me this morning and said, "We [The Nesbitts] are going to be releasing new singles over the next month on the digital platforms. I was simply thinking of texting you a copy of each single with a picture if you would be willing to put it on Chavah radio." Yes, woohoo! Thanks Scott! Here's the new single: The Nesbitts - Messianic Mountain Soul I've worshipped with the Nesbitts several times over the years. They've played music at Proclaim Music Festival . They're a beautiful family making joyful music for the king, a mix of folksy Messianic tunes they call "Messianic Mountain Soul." Give the new single a listen, friends! You can support the Nesbitts by purchasing their music over at www.thenesbitts.org . Thanks for supporting Messiah's musicians! Happy Thanksgiving, fine Chavah fans. I'm thankful for all of you. 💖
