ReFrame Media

ReFrame Media is an electronic media ministry of the Christian Reformed Church in North America. Started in 1939 as The Back to God Hour, a weekly radio Bible preaching program, it is now under the directorship of Rev. Steven Koster.[1][2][3][4]

History

In 2009, ReFrame Media was formed as a result of the restructuring and expansion of programming of Back to God Ministries International to broadcast dedicated ministries for different languages.[5] It was created to unify all English language programming under a single ministry. Its longest running program, The Back to God Hour, went off the air after 71 years in 2010 and it was immediately replaced by Groundwork, a new weekly radio conversational Bible study broadcast.[6] Since 2011, several new programs have been introduced.[7]

Current projects

ReFrame Media currently produces the following projects:[8]

  • Today daily devotional - A daily devotional available in print, email, and mobile app. Today is published bi-monthly, and written by pastors in the Christian Reformed Church.
  • Think Christian - A faith and pop culture blog (acquired from Gospel Communications International in 2008).
  • Family Fire - A marriage and family ministry providing encouragement to Christian households.[9]
  • Kids Corner - A 25-minute, weekly children's radio drama featuring lizard characters.[10]
  • Groundwork - A 25-minute, weekly radio conversational Bible study broadcast in association with Words of Hope.[11]
  • Church Juice - A service for congregations on church communications, public relations, marketing, and website development.

gollark: I mean, conversations I could understand, but coronaviral media is media.
gollark: ... of what, our conversations with you or just anything about coronavirus?
gollark: ... okay, then...
gollark: "If you didnt do anything wrong, then you shouldnt be worried" only works if you cast "not being happy with things" as "wrong", as well as "being associated with people who did "wrong" things", and expect that people will just never care about politics.
gollark: I agree that that can sometimes be a problem, but it also means people can actually suggest improvements or dislike things without fearing for their lives.
