Ryan Becker, pastor and podcaster, was studying (in-depth) all the happenings of the church and summarizing it through the fastest growing Adventist podcast “Absurdity.” After discovering his online “congregation” was 25x the size of his actual congregations, he realized the large number of unaccounted-for Adventists who are still plugged in.
Meanwhile, film producer Kevin Christenson heard Ryan’s content and suggested a new way of delivering it to a hungry audience with minimal time. While listening to a friend’s concert the two were iMessaging ideas (yes, in the same room)...which turned into a name...which turned into buying domain names...and the Scratch was born.
The Scratch brings the major news stories to you in bite-sized rundowns - with personality 😎. Of course, if you want to know more we have those links, too. Everyone has opinions and it’s good to hear ‘em out--as long as they’re not stated as facts. We strive to make those moments clear. We believe conversation is good, but that uninformed conversation can hinder what we are here to do. Plus, we’re independent of the organizations we cover. We don’t claim to be journalists; just Adventist news consumers breaking it down into conversation and starting from Scratch.
