This personal view of Christmas through the eyes of a child will inspire us to see God’s faithfulness and  goodness even when childhood is long behind us.

A Christmas Carol

Originally Released 2008
Radio Theatre | Focus on the Family
3-part special for 2-hour block/1 hour 39 min.

Charles Dickens was just 12 years old when he saw firsthand the devastating effects of child labor.  He never forgot those images.  In 1843 he wrote a pamphlet titled: “An Appeal to the People of England, on Behalf of the Poor Man’s Child.”  It became the story of Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol.”  Focus on the Family brings to life the story of miserly Scrooge who in one momentous night is confronted by his own lack of compassion—and given the opportunity to change not only his life but others too!  It’s a message that defines the spirit of the season of Christ’s birth, of His loving compassion!

What Happen Next

Max Lucado | UpWords
55:00 Special

With a new year upon us, a new president elected, conflicts worldwide and unrest at home … it’s a question that just about everyone is asking. Indeed, what happens next?

In an informal and conversational setting, making the questions come easily, Max Lucado responds to some of the most frequently asked questions about “end times”:

– What are the signs of Jesus’ return to earth? When will He come again? Soon?
– What about our millennial reign on earth? When does that happen?
– What and when is the rapture of the church?
– Will we go through the great Tribulation?
– What promises have yet to be fulfilled for Jesus to make his return?

In his inimitable warm style, Max responds to all this and more, providing a solid foundation for understanding God’s eternal plan—that we were made to reign with Christ; God has made and will keep His promises; heaven has a time line and that a golden era—the millennium—awaits God’s children.

Wishing for The Old In The Face of The New Year

Carter Conlon | Times Square Church
24:55 Special

Maybe you’re one of those people that are afraid of the present storm that our society is in, or maybe you’re going through one of the most difficult times of your life.

Have you ever considered that there might be a purpose in this beyond what your deepest desire has ever imagined? The truth is, the purpose of God is not always fulfilled in an easy place.

Join Carter Conlon as he talks about the error of wishing for the old in the face of the new year.

Purpose Beyond Pain: God’s Design for Life

For airing January 19
Brad Mattes | Life Issues
26:00 special available on FTP and Amb-OS

We often presume that “Sanctity of Life” Sunday is to underscore the pro-life message on behalf of the unborn.  However, for many, grappling with life is also a later-in-life concern.

Those who face chronic pain also face the temptation to end that suffering by ending life.  In an insightful and encouraging dialog, host Brad Mattes is joined by Joni Eareckson Tada,  Vaneetha Rendall Risner and Barbara Coleman who each have an extraordinary story of persevering through suffering.  In fact, their message is that despite enduring persistent pain, it is possible to live with faith in Christ and joy in the heart.

Listeners will be heartened at the reminder that choosing life can be a lifetime commitment.  Hear from three who chose to stay the course of God’s plan rather than opt for assisted suicide or euthanasia.  Their confidence that God has purpose in pain and an amazing design for their life is a message of hope for us all.

The Legend of Squanto

A Radio Theatre Classic
Radio Theatre | Focus on the Family
2 hour special with time for local spot avails

This audio drama brings to light the story of one of America’s early legends: “Squanto.”  History remembers Tisquantum as the Native American who taught early settlers to fish and farm.  He’s even credited with the first Thanksgiving.  But few hear the story of the condemnation that dragged him outside America to a life in chains and what he discovered after his exile.  It’s an inspiring true story of this little-known early American that triumphed over injustice and changed what would become the United States.
