TESTIMONY

Thomas Luke testifies that while on his deathbed, he begged God for mercy twice, later that evening, a young man entered the community where he was living and asked him if he wanted to read a verse from a New Testament pocket Bible that he carried in his back pocket. Thomas said yes, and after he read the verse, he saw a bright light coming down upon the man’s head.

When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life.” – John 8:12, NIV

The light was so bright that it nearly blinded him, so he closed his eyes and shouted with great joy like a little boy, “He’s real! Jesus Christ is real!” Thomas had encountered the living Christ who healed him of many afflictions on the evening of December 17, 2011.

“I was blinded by the intense light and had to be led by the hand to Damascus by my companions.” – Acts 22:11, NLT

Amazed at how good Jesus is, Thomas told the Lord that he wanted to work for Him for the rest of his life. Jesus replied, “Are you willing to pay the price?” he said, “Yes!” Thomas Luke eventually became Rev. Thomas Luke who has been following the Lord ever since.

Career

Talk Show Host

A Christian television talk show host is someone who is responsible to bring glory to God during the show. The Christian host should acknowledge in their heart that Jesus Christ is the only star of the show. Neither the host nor the shows guests shall be glorified, however, the guests may be recognized publicly for their efforts. The host agrees to act only as a sub-host next to Jesus Christ the only star of the show. The host typically interviews people of interest as well as Christian celebrities that bring glory to Jesus Christ and not themselves. The host may also bring in experts who are gifted by the Holy Spirit in order to educate the viewers on different topics. Therefore, the television host may act as a God glorifier, encourager, comforter, interviewer, educator, mediator, or all six.

TV Producer

A Christian television producer is responsible to make sure the guests being interviewed have godliness that either surpasses or equals their gifting, while never choosing to gift over godliness. It is also the responsibility of the producer to only have guests on the show that are submitted to spiritual authority (Hebrews 13:17, Ephesian 5:22-23) A producer coordinates and supervises all aspects of a production, from the creative to the administrative. TV producers also make the financial decisions and handle contracts, talent and bargaining agreements, and other administrative details. While producers get to be in on the fun of planning and executing a production, they also deal with troubles during production and keep everything within budget.
