WJKN-FM (89.3 FM, "Home.FM") 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.

In December 2014, the "Message" format was moved to sister station KTGG 1540 AM and WJKN became a full-time simulcast of WSAE's "Home.FM" format. WJKN-FM, however, continues to carry hourly newscasts from the IRN-USA radio network, which are not heard over WSAE. Three of Home.FM's translator stations, W222BB 92.3 FM in Battle Creek, W252BA 98.3 FM in Chelsea, and W252CN 98.3 FM in Lansing, are listed in the FCC databases as relaying WJKN-FM as opposed to WSAE.
