There are 21 Scan Remixed programs in this collection.

Produced first by the American Lutheran Church, and later by the ELCA, through Seraphim Communications, 1975-1991.

Some of those programs and many study materials are available from Select Learning, (theological exploration for all,) affiliated with the ELCA.

Scan was a nationally syndicated radio program aired in the U.S. and around the world from 1975 to 1991. This program features first-person stories of individuals who share their lived-out wisdom. Scan in its original broadcast form used progressive rock music to amplify and support the stories. Due to the expense of music licensing, these stories have been remixed using copyright-free music.

The stories featured on Scan Remixed point to God’s activity in the world, creating hope, health, healing, justice, peace, and growth. God’s work in our lives is often hidden and when we begin to remember those moments of insight, healing and growth, we can see God at work. Scan Remixed, like NPR’s StoryCorps and This American Life, uses first-person narrative to carry the content and the listener can listen for those themes that illuminate God’s activity.

Description: Charles Wendell "Chuck" Colson (1931-2012) served as Special Counsel to President Richard Nixon from 1969 to 1973. He gained notoriety at the height of the Watergate scandal, named as one of the Watergate Seven, and pleaded guilty to obstruction of justice for attempting to defame Pentagon Papers defendant Daniel Ellsberg. In 1974, he served seven months in the federal Maxwell Prison in Alabama. His mid-life conversion to Christianity in 1973 sparked a radical life change that led to the founding of his non-profit ministry Prison Fellowship and, three years later, Prison Fellowship International, to a focus on Christian worldview teaching and training around the world. Colson was also a public speaker and the author of more than 30 books. Here, he talks about his faith and his work. The radio program, "Scan," was nationally-syndicated, airing in the U.S. and around the world from 1975 to 1991. This program features first-person stories of individuals who share their lived-out wisdom.
