Unshackled!
Christian talk radio with Radio Drama Production
Unshackled! is radio drama produced in a unique way. As it has been since 1945, writers, actors, and musicians combine to create a dramatic presentation that demonstrates the power of God to reach and change man. Today, Unshackled! is still produced very much as it has always been. Original music is still woven "live" through the story at the time of production. Sound effects occur as the story unfolds before an appreciative live audience. Unshackled! is a ministry of Pacific Garden Mission. Known as the Old Lighthouse, Pacific Garden Mission has since 1877 preached the Gospel of Jesus Christ to lost men and women of the street while at the same time meeting their material and physical needs.Recent Episodes

He wouldn’t hesitate to steal candy, make fun of people, get in fights, and by the time he was 14, he was sleeping around with girls. When his girlfriend got pregnant, Patrick was terrified to tell his parents. They decided to give the baby up for adoption and Patrick moved on to different women in college.

But eventually he began an adulterous relationship that led him to move out of his house and consider following this woman out of the state.
