He is a well-known author and TV commentator. Bill O’Reilly has written numerous books in his Killing series. All have been bestsellers.
Mr. O’Reilly’s most recent book is titled Killing the Witches. It’s about the 17th Century atrocities committed in Salem, Massachusetts, against innocent people who were accused of being witches. Unjust executions were carried out in the name of religion. They so disturbed a young Benjamin Frankin—that Mr. Franklin fought to have the U.S. Constitution provide for freedom of religion.
Bill spoke with Paul Ladd about his new book. The interview can be heard on Your New Life Station on three consecutive Saturdays—November 4, 11, & 18. These interviews will be run again, starting in late November or early December.
Lee Strobel is a former news reporter who became a prominent apologist—that is—a defender of the Christian faith. His 2016 book The Case for Christ, became a movie by the same title in 2017. A former atheist—Mr. Strobel used his skills as an investigative reporter to attempt to disprove the Bible’s claims about Jesus. Mr. Strobel couldn’t, and he became a Christian.
Lee’s latest book is titled Is God Real? : Exploring the Ultimate Question of Life. Questions addressed by Lee include evidence for the reality of God, human suffering, and the questions about miracles.
Lee spoke with Paul Ladd about his new book. The interview can be heard on Your New Life Station on four consecutive Mondays, November 13, 20, and 27, and December 4.The Pacific Rim and Southwest Asia
The Pacific Rim, the Indian subcontinent and southwest Asia provide the reasons Your New Life Station broadcasts the International English Hour. The Pacific Rim is that part of the Eastern Hemisphere that encompasses English-prevalent countries Malaysia, Singapore, Australia, Papua New Guinea, the Philippines, and New Zealand. Additionally—English is widely spoken in Indonesia. And English is the official language of government and commerce in the southwest Asian countries of India, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. In Japan and in countries of the Middle East, many speak English as a second language.
Your New Life Station’s broadcast schedule makes use of Universal Coordinated Time (UTC), a 24-hour system also known as Greenwich Mean Time. Eastern Standard Time (EST) is five hours behind UTC; Central Standard Time (CST) is six hours behind. When some parts of the world switch to daylight saving time for the warm weather months, Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) is four hours behind UTC, and Central Daylight Time (CDT) is five hours behind. Outside the U.S.—most locations are on standard time all year rather than daylight time. Karachi is five hours ahead of UTC. Mumbai and New Delhi are five-and-a-half hours ahead. Manila, Beijing, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Kuala Lumpur are eight hours ahead. And Tokyo is nine hours ahead of UTC.
You can use our listener website www.knls.org to hear the English Hour if you have internet access. You can also access the broadcast through the KNLS app on your mobile device or through Google or Safari. If you listen via shortwave radio, you can access knls.org to get our broadcast frequencies or you can write to us and request a schedule.
The English Hour is the Asian continent’s source for the music of our time and the message of all time. We work to provide a geographical balance in the topics we feature as we take you from “Alaska to Asia to Africa to America.” Our Eye on the World stories often show the interdependence of the Eastern and Western Hemispheres.
Since our target audience is mostly non-Christians, our content is different from a typical Christian format station in America. While we provide our share of positive, uplifting content, some of our programming also provides an honest look at the dark side of life on Earth. Indeed, some program segments and music selections may raise questions that a thoughtful truth seeker will ask. And other segments, such as the Bible or Christian lifestyle lessons, serve to answer those questions.
Music to Love
Music is a universal language. Probably 80 per cent of the world’s pop tunes are sung in English, and are enjoyed by people everywhere, many who are themselves not proficient in English. The English Hour features your favorite songs from today’s best music. International pop charts show that your favorite music is also the favorite of people who are culturally diverse—whether in Nairobi, Sydney, Singapore, or Jakarta.
The songs are pop, rock, r & b, and occasional hip-hop and country music that crosses over to the pop charts. The English Hour generally features music by artists from the U.S., the U.K., Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand. Music artists from all over the world, including European deejays and South Korean boy and girl bands, have found their names on or near the top of international pop charts.
In November—Your New Life station will introduce new music by Diplo with Jessie Murph & Polo G, South Korean girl band (G)I-dle, Matchbox 20, NSync (yes—90’s boy band with Justin Timberlake), The National featuring Taylor Swift, Nicki Minaj, Sia, and Tyla Yaweh.
News to Know
The English hour features reporting about topics of current interest. Marcy Bryan reports about entertainment, business, and news about religion and social issues. Kelly Ann Monahan has the latest developments in medicine, science, and computer technology. Paul Ladd provides special reports about diverse topics, religious and secular. Larry Souder interviews interesting people, sometimes in front of a live audience, on Souder & Friends. (For November and December, Souder & Friends will feature holiday season classics.) Doug Poling provides commentary on the news from a Christian perspective on Today’s News & the Good News. And Adam Holtz, Jonathan McKee, and Paul Asay of Focus on the Family provide Plugged-in reviews of the latest movies, online games, and TV shows.
