Dear Dove Friend,
Trust God’s Plan
One of the questions many believers ask is, “How can I know what God wants me to do?” It’s a sincere desire, and one that reflects a heart that longs to follow Him.
The interesting thing about God’s direction is that it doesn’t always come with a detailed roadmap. Often, it requires us to step forward in faith, trust Him with the unknown, and be willing to grow beyond our comfort zones. While we’d all prefer certainty, God frequently uses those moments of trust to strengthen our faith and draw us closer to Him.
As we learn to place our plans in His hands, we discover that His purposes are far greater than anything we could accomplish on our own. When we surrender our desires to Him, we’re not giving up something valuable— we’re making room for His very best in our lives.
God’s invitation is simple: trust Him with your heart and follow where He leads. As you do, you’ll find opportunities to reflect His love, encourage others, and share the hope you’ve found in Christ.
Every blessing,
Perry Atkinson President/CEO

Hello, Wonderful People ......................................................
Summer is in full stride, and I hope you are enjoying the warmer weather, longer days, and maybe even a little ice cream along the way. There is something refreshing about this season that invites us to slow down and enjoy God’s goodness in the everyday moments.
I am also excited about what is happening here at theDove. Our new website is now live, and I encourage you to visit and explore all that it offers. You can watch past episodes of theDove produced TV programs, listen to The Word For You Today daily devotional, and find helpful maps of our TV and radio locations, and discover even more ways to stay connected with us.
In addition, we are thrilled to share that we have added The Quester kids’ TV show to our Saturday programming lineup. It is a wonderful addition that brings engaging and meaningful content for younger viewers and families alike.
As we look ahead, we are also joining the nation in recognizing the significance of the 250th Independence Day celebration. It is a meaningful time to reflect on the blessings of freedom and the history that has shaped our country. theDove and I are so grateful to you. Your encouragement, your prayers, and your continued support of theDove means more than we can fully express. Please know we do not take lightly your partnership with us in ministry and the faithful way you stand with us in both prayer and provision, especially as we continue to pray for staffing needs and the growth ahead.
Thank you again for being part of theDove family. We are grateful to you every day!
Melinda Robertson Director of Marketing & Development theDove Media, Inc.
Built to Grow - Together
As we move into the heart of summer, two themes stand out: freedom and fresh starts. With America’s 250th anniversary approaching, we’re reminded our nation was built on courage, vision, and investment in something greater than ourselves. That same spirit is alive in our local business community, especially during this back-to-school season when families reset routines and new opportunities emerge.
At theDove, we see this as more than a seasonal shift - it’s a strategic window. Back-to-school is about more than supplies; it’s about connection. Families are back on the move, routines are forming, and trusted voices matter more than ever.
That’s where your business comes in. When your message is shared through theDove, it’s not only heard - it’s felt. Our audience is engaged, valuedriven, and loyal, responding to businesses that reflect integrity, service, and encouragement. We don’t just offer advertising - we offer connection strategies, helping you craft messages that reach the right people at the right time.
This season is a reminder that growth often starts with small, intentional steps. Like students preparing for a new year, businesses thrive with clarity and focus.
Through television, radio, digital media, print, and social platforms, our mission remains the same: helping people encounter hope and truth every day. We’re here to help you strengthen your message, grow your reach, and make a lasting impact.
Let’s make this season one of renewal, purpose, and measurable successtogether.

If you could have coffee with any person from the Bible (besides Jesus), who would it be and what would you ask them?
Noah – I have questions, many questions. He didn’t just build an ark; he lived a long life and experienced many things in that long life. His story has always intrigued me.
What is something most people at theDove might be surprised to learn about you?
I love writing historical fiction. I believe the past can teach us so much. There are many stories woven together to make extraordinary moments in time, each version individually experienced make an amazing story all on its own but join them together and you’ve created something quite special.
What is one thing you wish listeners and viewers knew about what happens behind the scenes at theDove?
We are able to see God’s work in a tangible way behind the scenes here at theDove through each and every partner in this ministry we have. Through the prayer requests and amazing updates we receive, through prison ministries when inmates are released then call to continue to receive The Word For You Today daily devotional to read God’s message and word as their continued daily routine, and personal testimonies we receive where theDove is pivotal in not only their walk but actually bringing people to Christ through our programming as they accept Jesus into their hearts and lives. Being part of this incredible ministry has allowed us to be a part of something so special and bigger than we can ever know this side of heaven.
What is a simple everyday thing that brings you joy and makes you smile every time?
Working in my garden. Jesus comes to me there and we spend time together there while the busyness of the day fades and I’m able to clear my mind. It’s a peaceful way to end my day.
What is your favorite sweet treat?
I love homemade vanilla ice cream with garden-fresh strawberries on top!
July and August: Perfect months to enjoy the outdoors, spend time with loved ones, and recharge.
July 4: Independence Day
Independence Day is a time to celebrate the freedoms we enjoy and honor the courage and sacrifices of those who helped shape our nation. As we gather with family and friends, we can reflect on the blessings of liberty, appreciate the values that unite us, and be grateful for the opportunities we must make a positive difference in our communities.
Wishing you a safe, joyful, and meaningful Fourth of July!
“Oh,
taste and see that the Lord is good! Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him!”
~ Psalms 34:8
“My Presence will go with you.” Exodus 33:14 NKJV
Nicholas Herman was a cook in a monastery. He worried about whether or not he was truly saved. One day while looking at a tree, he realized the truth of the Psalmist’s words—that it had to be rooted in something other and deeper than itself (see Psalm 1:1-3).
That day, he decided to make his life an experiment in what he called a “habitual, silent, secret conversation of the soul with God.”
He’s known today by the new name given to him by his friends: Brother Lawrence. He remained obscure throughout his life and spent the rest of his days in the monastery kitchen. But the people around him found that rivers of living water flowed out of him that made them want to know God the way he did.
“The good brother found God everywhere,” one of them wrote, “as much while he was repairing shoes as while he was praying with the community.” After Brother Lawrence died, his friends put together a book of his letters and conversations. It is called The Practice of the Presence of God, and it is thought to be one of the most widely read books of the last four centuries. This shortorder cook has outsold many popular contemporary novelists, and his book is still on best-seller lists.
Brother Lawrence said: “The most holy and necessary practice in our spiritual life is the presence of God. That means finding constant pleasure in His divine company, speaking humbly and lovingly with Him in all seasons, at every moment, without limiting the conversation in any way.”

The ice cream sundae is believed to have originated in the late 1800s, when soda fountains began serving ice cream topped with syrup, whipped cream, and other sweet additions. While several towns claim to be their birthplace, the exact origin is still debated. What is clear is that the sundae quickly became a favorite treat, especially during the warm summer months of July and August. It’s cool, customizable style made it the perfect dessert for beating the heat.
Did You Know...
The Perseid Meteor Shower happens every August, peaking around the 12th and 13th, as Earth passes through the trail of debris left by the comet Swift-Tuttle. As these tiny particles enter our atmosphere, they burn up and create bright ‘shooting stars’ streaking across the night sky. It’s one of the most active and reliable meteor showers of the year, often producing dozens of meteors per hour at its peak. On a clear, dark night, it’s a stunning show you can enjoy just by looking up.
Joke:
Why did the Christian chicken go to the other side of the road?
To get a Cross.

On July 4, 2026, America will celebrate a remarkable milestone: the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. On that historic day in 1776, fifty-six delegates representing the thirteen American colonies boldly declared their independence from Great Britain, setting in motion the birth of a new nation founded on the biblical principles of liberty, self-government, and individual rights.
What began as a daring declaration has grown into one of the world’s longest-standing constitutional republics. Over the past 250 years, America has weathered wars, economic hardships, social change, and moments of great triumph, continually striving toward the ideals expressed in those founding words. This historic anniversary offers an opportunity to reflect on our nation’s journey, honor those who came before us, and look ahead with gratitude and hope.
For many Americans, it is also a time to recognize God’s hand throughout our history and to give thanks for the freedoms and opportunities we enjoy today.
As we celebrate 250 years, we honor the generations of Americans who have helped shape our nation—those who served, sacrificed, built communities, raised families, and invested in future generations. We also recognize the important role that faith, churches, and Christian ministries have played in caring for others, strengthening communities, and sharing hope.
One of America’s greatest blessings is the freedom to openly live out our faith. It is a freedom worth celebrating and preserving for future generations.
America 250 is not only a celebration of the past—it is an invitation to consider the future. What kind of nation do we hope to leave for our children and grandchildren? What values will guide the next generation?
The answer begins with each of us. Every act of kindness, every investment in a young person’s future, every effort to strengthen families and communities helps shape the America of tomorrow.
As believers, our ultimate hope is in God. Yet we are called to be faithful stewards of the freedoms and opportunities He has entrusted to us. May this anniversary inspire us to live with gratitude, serve with purpose, and seek God’s wisdom for the future.
As fireworks light the sky and communities gather across the country, may we give thanks for the blessings of liberty, honor the sacrifices that made those freedoms possible, and celebrate the God who has faithfully guided generations.
“Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people He chose for His inheritance.” – Psalms 33:12

There are moments in life when the road ahead seems uncertain. Whether we are making decisions for our families, planning for the future, or considering the direction of our nation, it is natural to wonder what comes next. Proverbs 3 reminds us that we are not called to figure everything out on our own. We are called to trust God.
As parents, grandparents, and mentors, we invest in future generations with hopes and prayers that they will grow in wisdom, character, and faith. We may not know exactly what their future holds, but we can trust that God does. Our role is to point them toward Him and demonstrate what it looks like to walk faithfully each day.
The same is true for our nation. Throughout America’s history, there have been seasons of uncertainty and seasons of great blessing. Through it all, God’s faithfulness has remained constant. As we celebrate 250 years of freedom, we can be thankful for the blessings we enjoy while praying that future generations will continue to seek God’s wisdom and guidance.
“Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.” — Proverbs 3:5-6
When we acknowledge God in our homes, our communities, and our daily decisions, we place ourselves in the best possible position to follow His direction. The future may be unknown to us, but it is never unknown to Him.
As we look ahead, may our hearts be filled not with worry, but with confidence in the One who promises to direct our paths.
