“It’s the twist of the story that is meant to get people thinking, perhaps leading to further investigation of the Catholic faith.”
“Families looking for wholesome and engaging entertainment need look no further! That’s the Word, is just the captivating content to satisfy that search.”
Each short story is about someone you know, but we don’t tell you who until the end.
If these stories sound a lot like Paul Harvey’s The Rest of the Story or Mike Rowe’s The Way I Heard It, that’s because both these shows have inspired That’s the Word. Fr. James grew up listening to Paul Harvey on the radio, and John Peter more recently enjoyed Mike Rowe’s short mysteries.
It’s an honor when anyone hears an echo of these great storytellers in our work.
Most of our stories come from things we’ve heard and read over the years. Others come from listener suggestions.
Our stories tend to reflect our interests, which include the saints, Scripture, the Church, history (especially American history), movies, and weather.
