For years, the Jonathan Park radio drama has been entertaining and educating audiences of all ages with the adventures of the Park and Brenan families. Our family just started listening to the series and it was one of the highlights of our homeschool year.
The Jonathan Park audio series is a creation science based drama that contains something for everyone. There is cliffhanging drama and adventure, science, Biblical truths, and family values.
The series follows the Park and Brenan families as they run the Brenan Museum Of Creation and are part of the Creation Response Team. Their adventures take the families around the world finding proof of the creator.
Why I’m A Fan Of Jonathan Park
Jonathan Park is one of the first radio dramas that has appealed to our entire family. My son and I usually don’t do radio drama. Boring. We usually leave the radio dramas for my husband and daughter and go do something else. The Jonathan Park audio series keeps the whole family on the edge of our seat wanting to hear more.
This series actually supports the Biblical view of creation with science. Too many times, the Biblical view of creation is supported by the Bible without any scientific proof. That is fine for a Christian who sees the Bible as the infallible word of God and believes in creation by faith, but what about those who do not believe in the Bible and want the scientific proof. Bringing the Bible alone to that conversation is not enough.
Jonathan Park delivers scientific evidence for a creator and the Genesis version of creation. Information sources are even given so the listener can fact check or dig deeper. Even though there is a lot of science talk, it is presented in a way that children can understand.
Jonathan Park supports moral standards and family values. In this world of broken homes, broken relationships, disrespect for authority, and disregard for moral standards, the Jonathan Park series reinforces family, truthfulness, honor, and respect. It is so good for our kids to listen to this in action and learn how to apply it to their own lives.
Jonathan Park shows faith in action. Everything the Park and Brenan family does is centered around their relationship with Jesus Christ. They pray about everything, give scriptural examples of why they make their decisions, and they live their faith. This is a great example for families trying to move their knowledge of God from their heads to their hearts to their hands. As a Christian parent, I love this.
The Re-launch!
Jonathan Park fans were saddened and in a bit of a panic when they thought the series was not going to be produced anymore. I saw people gobbling up the last supplies of the series CDs at homeschool conventions this past spring. I was one of those people!
That’s why I was so thrilled to learn that Jonathan Park found a new home, new episodes are in the making, and old episodes are being re-released!!
You can learn more about Jonathan Park, find fun activities, and purchase CDs of the radio drama at JonathanPark.com.
My boys have always LOVED Jonathan Park!!! So glad they will be available again. If you’re looking for other radio dramas that are exciting, you should check out Lamplighter Theatre. Good stuff! Our whole family loves them. And they also have great, Christian morals.
My husband and daughter listen to Lamplighter Theatre every Saturday morning. They really enjoy it.
In the nearly 15 years we’ve been recording this series, I’ve seen a lot of changes. Been through many ups and downs (mostly ups) I cannot express my gratitude to The Lord for allowing the creative rights and ownership of this program to be back in the hands of the shows creators, Pat and Sandy Roy (and their wonderful partners) God has “resurrected” The Adventures of Jonathan Park more than once, and each time it is no less a miracle. I pray for many more years of wonderful ministry for the CreationWorks team, and that God will continue to use this radio drama mightily for His honor and glory..

Thank you so much for your comment and insight. And, thank you for blessing us all with this series! BTW–my son may fall out when I tell him Dr. Kendall Park left a comment!! lol #HUGEFAN
It is great that Pat and Sandy Roy were able to get back the rights to Jonathan Park. During that transition God really blessed us through Pat and Sandy Roy. Before they bought back the rights they were working on some side projects including Novarupta and a script writing contest called A Quest for the Golden Script. My younger brother really enjoys writing and he had been talking about writing an audio drama. When I saw the contest I told him about it and he was eager to enter. Long story short he won, and now they have finished producing his script into an audio drama. They even are letting us sell the audio drama on our site, ThackerPress.com. The whole experience has been a real inspiration to him, and a blessing to all of us.
I love Pat! He is a great friend and has given great encouragement and assistance with Coral Island Adventures Radio Drama! I wish he could get JP back!
We love you Pat! Thanks for being our friend!!!!

Is there any word on what is going with the Jonathan Park series now? We still need volume 10 when I saw they are no longer stocking or selling them.
I’m not sure. I hope they are not going away! I haven’t been given any updates.
Just noticed the JP website is back up.
