Teaching And Song - Answering The Call To New England Christian Radio With George Small And Angelena Chapman (RenewFM)

If God calls you to leave everything you knew and step into the difficult, uncertain, and unfamiliar, would you do it? That's the question that George Small ultimately had to answer before leaving his job and home in California to plant a church and start a radio station in the Greater Boston area. Fast forward to today, and southern New England has a regional radio station with towers in multiple states broadcasting expository Bible teaching and vertical, God honoring worship music 24/7, 365 days a year. George and Angelena share stories about God's faithfulness throughout the stations history, including lives that were changed forever because of the truth of God's Word and the Gospel.

Eat Your Bible - A Plan For Devouring All Of God’s Word With Nate Pickowicz (Moody Publishers)

According to Nate Pickowicz, Pastor of Harvest Bible Church in Gilmanton Iron Works, NH, the single greatest threat to Christianity today is a church that does not know their Bible. The Bible is such a big and complex book. Do you ever feel as if learning the entire Bible is too great a task? We talk with Nate about his latest book "How To Eat Your Bible: A Simple Approach To Loving And Learning The Word Of God," and explore the profound impact that an intentional, complete approach to knowing the Bible has on the believer. You can have a grasp on the entirety of God's Word, and it's easier than you might think!

Sing And Make Music: The Light Of Christ In Entertainment, Evangelism, And Worship With Jonas Woods (Old Bear Records)

When it comes to being a Christian musician, Rhode Island native Jonas Woods will tell you that it's not about the music, but instead it's about being obedient to the call of God on his life to communicate the truth and love of God and the message of the Gospel to anyone who will listen. From his early days sharing stages with bands like Petra to present day projects, Jonas talks about being on the road as a "musicianary," coaching church worship teams to become more effective leaders, and building redemptive relationships that draw people closer to Jesus.
