Sixty Years of Ministry. One Steadfast Mission.
Family Life Radio began in 1966 with a simple purpose: to share the hope of Christ in a way that encourages people in their everyday lives.
We enter our 60th year with gratitude for God’s faithfulness, the vision of our founders, and every listener who has supported this nonprofit, family funded ministry.
For six decades, people just like you have made it possible for millions to hear uplifting music, biblical teaching, and reminders that they’re never alone.

Across generations, listeners have shared how God used this ministry to encourage them, strengthen their faith, or meet them in a difficult season.
“I’m 17 and have been listening to Family Life Radio since I was probably born, because my mom has always played it when we drive places, and it’s meant a lot for me with my walk in faith and my walk with Christ. I finally got my own debit card, and I really want to support Family Life Radio the same way they supported me.” –Abigail, WI
Stories like this are the heartbeat of Family Life Radio and the reason we remain committed to sharing hope every single day.
