"When I need an episode written that is a particular challenge or needs to be handled delicately, and with great skill, I turn to Scott Kirk." - Timothy Gregory / Director
THE DORI GREESON STORY
"Even though Dori taught her son to trust God, he still struggles with alcohol addiction and depression. Part one of this true story is told from her son Robbie's perspective."
"Dori struggles to forgive the woman who hurt her son, but reluctantly sends her a letter that will transform both their lives. A transformation that shows the power of God's forgiveness."
THE ERNIE SCOTT STORY
"Ernie works hard for a living, and when a stranger offers to invest in his business, he's convinced the partnership will make him wealthy. But the stranger's greed leads Ernie to make a violent decision."
"Ernie commits a horrible crime and does everything possible to hide what he's done. Only after he's sent to prison does he find the forgiveness and freedom he was searching for."
"TV gives everyone an image, but RADIO gives birth to a million images in a million brains." -Peggy Noonan/ Reagan Speechwriter
