WJKN-FM (89.3 FM, "The Message") is a non-commercial radio station located in Spring Arbor, Michigan. The station is owned by Spring Arbor University, a religious university associated with the Free Methodist Church.

WJKN-FM began broadcasting in 2005 and took over the Power Praise FM format that had been on sister station WSAE. Power Praise FM was renamed "The Vibe" on 89.3 and was evolved from Christian Hot AC into Christian Hit Radio, featuring Christian rock and hip-hop artists mixed in with the Christian pop artists played on Power Praise FM. Like Power Praise FM, The Vibe also featured an air staff of Spring Arbor University students.

In September 2008, WJKN-FM dropped the "Vibe" format and relaunched as 89.3 The Message, featuring a combination of adult-contemporary Christian music and teaching similar to competing station WUFN.
