LIVING PROOF that GOD CAN REPAIR A BROKEN MAN. Rob's story of Redemption and the transforming Power of Our God. Recorded one year on from Oct 7th 2025 when Jesus broke into Rob's life ... so now Rob's FIRST BIRTHDAY.  Programme first broadcast on Flame CCR.

Norman talks to Paul Calvert who was touring UK as a break away from his missionary activities in Palestine (Bethlehem). Paul in his press and media opportunities has a unique view on the political situation in Palestine, Gaza and Israel. He himself is non-political but understands clearly all that is going on in the light of what the Bible says about futures. Also in the light of long standing antagonism between Arab and Jew.  Well worth a listen to as it sheds light on situations in a way that mainstream media does not. This programme was first broadcast on FlameCCR.

Paul Calvert is a journalist living in Palestine (Bethlehem), is a missionary to the Christian community there and runs an internet radio station (Radio Hayah).  During a tour of the UK Paul came to Wirral and spoke at the Wirral FIlling Station meeting on 17th September. In this Chat Room programme Paul repeats what he said at the Filling Station meeting. The programme also contains some of Paul's poetry, details his published book (The Trafalgar Square Christmas Tree) and includes music from Radio Hayah. This programme was first broadcast on Flame CCR.

Norman Polden (station manager, Flame CCR) takes the opportunity to testify to God's goodness in helping him through sudden traumatic disability in February 2018. King & Country's music track "JOY" echoes in Norman's mind and in this short audio track as he reflects on James 1 "Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything". Now in January 2024, 6 years on from this traumatic event, Norman is still actively managing Flame CCR (Christian and Community Radio) and enjoying life at home in Greasby, Wirral.
