ReFrame Media is an electronic media ministry of the Christian Reformed Church in North America. Started in 1939 as The Back to God Hour, a weekly radio Bible preaching program, it is now under the directorship of Rev. Steven Koster.[1][2][3][4]
History
[edit]In 2009, ReFrame Media was formed as a result of the restructuring and expansion of programming of Back to God Ministries International to broadcast dedicated ministries for different languages.[5] It was created to unify all English language programming under a single ministry. Its longest running program, The Back to God Hour, went off the air after 71 years in 2010 and it was immediately replaced by Groundwork, a new weekly radio conversational Bible study broadcast.[6] Since 2011, several new programs have been introduced.[7]

[edit]ReFrame Media currently produces the following projects:[8]
- Today daily devotional - A daily devotional available in print, email, and mobile app. Today is published bi-monthly, and written by pastors in the Christian Reformed Church.
- Think Christian - A faith and pop culture blog (acquired from Gospel Communications International in 2008).
- Family Fire - A marriage and family ministry providing encouragement to Christian households.[9]
