Contains a selection of Flame CCR's regular programmes to whet your appetite, plus other stand alone programmes.
Also includes "John Daniels' journey with cancer" (38 fifteen minute podcasts, 2016 to 2020) in which John talks honestly about his early life, his Christian faith and then his diagnosis with prostate cancer in 2016. He was a strong Yorkshireman and an enthusiastic member of the FLAME team. John experienced superb NHS treatment over a number of years as the cancer progressed. He remained cheerful throughout the years and leant heavily upon his Christian faith. John died from the cancer in April 2020. The theme tune is by Andrew Gardiner (a Baptist Minister in Plymouth) recording as "Rising Hope" who himself suffered and died from cancer but found strength from his Christian faith.

Norman disability - Testimony (updated January 2024) plus King & Country "JOY"
Norman Polden (station manager, Flame CCR) takes the opportunity to testify to God's goodness in helping him through sudden traumatic disability in February 2018. King & Country's music track "JOY" echoes in Norman's mind and in this short audio track as he reflects on James 1 "Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything".
Now in January 2024, 6 years on from this traumatic event, Norman is still actively managing Flame CCR (Christian and Community Radio) and enjoying life at home in Greasby, Wirral.
