HAVEN Today...for people who need Jesus every day!

Speaker Charles Morris delivers a strong analysis of biblical truth, communicating with a warmth that calls people to the only lasting resolution to life's problems-the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Each day's commentary is taken from the news stories of the day, bringing the issues in focus with Scripture, and ready for broadcast within hours.

Haven Today is not a news program or a magazine format. Rather, it takes those issues on everyone's mind and heart to bring the listener face-to-face with the essential message of the Gospel.

Setting the tone for Family Talk with Dr. James Dobson, this first broadcast is one you won't want to miss!

Weekend listeners are afforded a distinct variety of stand-alone studies that exemplify the same depth and commitment to the Word that's the hallmark of the daily edition.

Strategically compiled from the 4:00 commentaries, "BreakPoint This Week^®" zeroes in on the most critical issues impacting our Christian worldview. Its headline quality content makes this newsmagazine format an excellent "catch-up" for all the issues that have been highlighted in the preceding week. 

This historic broadcast features Billy Graham. It's hosted by long-time team member, Cliff Barrows. As it has for decades, the Hour of Decision^® remains true to the preaching of the gospel.

It was October 1950 in Portland Oregon, that Billy Graham was first approached by local Christian businessmen who encouraged him to begin a radio program.

Dr. Graham repeatedly said no because of his already busy crusade schedule. On one occasion, he good-naturedly said, "If before midnight tonight we receive $25,000 in funds dedicated only for radio, I'm willing to do the broadcast." That evening, speaking before 17,000 at the crusade, Dr. Graham repeated the story. Although he never asked for financial help, many brought in checks that night as money set aside for a radio program. When the Graham people counted it at midnight, it totaled exactly $25,000.

Billy Graham went on the air with his first Hour of Decision^® in November 1950 from Atlanta, Georgia during a crusade.
