At RCCTV, we have been blessed to work with Jon Fish in this compelling series for the past few months. This program is captivating until the very end as Jon Fish converses with a diverse amount of people in our community covering a wide range of interesting topics. We are always delighted to work with Jon on this show.
Enter Jon Fish:
The blessing and joy of this half-hour program is in learning more about faith leaders in the Greater Sacramento area. As always, we agree completely that we are children of God. Seldom, as brothers and sisters, do we agree on how to best approach the worship of God. But in front of live cameras and bright lights we listen intently as faith leaders from all walks of life speak to us about what they are doing, how they are doing it, and why they are doing it. We learn about American citizens who got their start in life as children in Europe, Asia and Africa – eventually making their way to the United States to worship how, where or what they may. We have heard the stories of being raised in religious homes, by religious parents. We have listened carefully to those who did not find religion until their college years. We have been intrigued with the many ways people have come to God.
Sandwiched in between these faith-promoting stories are the hands-on family tales of strict grandparents, of contests won in fashion design, of baseball played, of courtships, of music and training in many facets of life not having much to do with organized religion. We listen to male and female. We have listened to the young in the ministry and to the seasoned. In all of the wording given in front of the camera there is always a resolve to try to help make the world a better place – to increase faith and spirituality in our neighborhoods, our families and our congregations…congregations that are sometimes Christian; sometimes not. The approach to worship is extended in many formats including Jew and Gentile, dark skin-light skin, bond and free. We pay attention to the Muslim, the Sikh and the Buddhist as their stories of prophets, angels, visions and progress are unfolded to us in a way that we can ponder and understand. We speak of chants, of prayers, of hymns and of meditation; each approach allowing us to consider a deeper meaning to our God.
The diversity in Sacramento allows us to learn about Catholic, Lutheran, Latter-day Saint, Scientologist, Unification, Methodist, Presbyterian, Hindu, Self-Realization and others previously mentioned above. Thirty Minutes of Faith is renewing and refreshing. There is something there for everyone. We are now approaching 20 episodes and the variety shared and broadcast has been delightful, fulfilling and fun.
