WKJW (1010 AM, "Christian 1010") is a commercial conservative gospel radio station broadcasting at 47,000 watts in Black Mountain, North Carolina, operated by International Baptist Outreach Missions, Inc. of Asheville, North Carolina, Dr J. Wendell Runion, President and General Manager.

The station was founded as WFGW AM in 1962 by the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association. Until 2005, it played mostly Southern gospel music. Later, as "Faith and Freedom Radio", WFGW is a non-commercial talk radio station with some Christian talk. WFGW Talk Radio was available on its sister-station's HD signal, 106.9 FM HD3.

The station must power down to 90 watts at night to protect clear-channel CFRB in Toronto.

International Baptist Outreach Missions, owner of WKJV of Asheville, N.C., purchased 1010 AM and started broadcasting on July 19, 2013 as WKJW.
