โ€œI love the creative challenge of sharing deep theological truths with people whoโ€™ve never heard God talked about in attractive and entertaining ways. My prayer is that God uses this broadcast to encourage and uplift everyone that tunes in โ€“ especially the lonely, and those who donโ€™t yet know Him.โ€ - Senior Producer, Josh Couch ๐Ÿ’™

Nice to meet you!

CBA exists to share the heart of the Christian faith in mainstream media. We use top rating secular commercial radio to reach huge audiences of people who would never set foot inside a church.

Our vision is to produce a wide range of positive, thought-provoking Christian programmes for top secular radio networks across the country.

Real Life with John Cowan - airs from 7:30pm-8pm Sundays on Newstalk ZB.

John interviews a different high-profile guest each week. The conversation goes deeper than what they would be known for, exploring our guestsโ€™ upbringing, their views on the world, and where appropriate we delve into their views on faith.
