If you’ve been reading very long, you know that the kids absolutely love to listen to audio adventures such as Brinkman Adventures. Some people binge watch episodes of their favorite shows, I caught the kids piled on the couch binge listening to Season 6: Underground Rising (the digital version) after we received it. I had to tease them a little that they didn’t even let me join them.
Brinkman Adventures has now gone to a 6 episode season instead of the 12 they have historically done. This means that there will be over 2 hours of audio stories now.
Season 6 Episodes:
Dutch Underground Part 1 & 2
This episode of Brinkman Adventures takes us first hand to 1940, and the invasion of the Germans on Holland. Right away in the story, we are thrust headlong into the true story of one family’s experiences in World War II.
During the war, Reng and Lynn got married, thinking that soon the war would be over since the United States had joined the war. However, that was not the case. Soon things got much worse for the Dutch people. They were required to have a 10 pm curfew and carry state issued identification with them all the time. Jewish people had a curfew of 8pm and had to wear the yellow star identifying them as Jews. Even having a radio was considered treason.
Hans and Reng, brothers, began to resist the Germans. They begin to develop a way to help those people who were hiding from the Germans. One way they found to help was to get ration cards for those people who were in hiding.
Hans and Reng, continue the dangerous work of gathering ration cards and hiding Jewish families until Hans is arrested and thrown into jail. Even Lynn was thrown into prison while she was pregnant. Despite the trials, they continued to help those who needed their help.
Twice Born Fly
Charlie isn’t sure he wants to fly over the lake, mostly because he is afraid he might die. Then when he watches a fly emerge from its pupa he is so startled by it that he accidentally inhaled and swallowed the newly born fly. When he ased his dad if he would die from swallowing the fly, his dad started telling a story of being in prison. The allogory Mr Brinkman told mirrors much of the gospel story. After accepting Christ as his savior, Charlie is no longer afriad to fly.
I Wonder Why?
Follow the Wonder family to an orphange in India in I Wonder Why?. Sam was reluctant to go to India, in the first place, and then when the orphans are so mean to her and her brother, Huck, she wonders why they are even there. Even her parents begin to wonder if what they are doing is making any difference, until after months of Bible study the meanest children accept Christ.
Free Burma Rangers Part 1 & 2
Raised as a missionary, Dave Eubank decides that he would like to be in the military when he grows up and then maybe later a missionary. He does ahead and become a Green Beret. That experience prepared him for his future missionary work in Burma. Dave and his family experience numerous instances of God’s protection while they work to help those injured and displaced by the Burma military.
There is even a very intense scene in which Dave led some villagers right past the the Burmese army. It is amazing to see God’s protection working in their lives.
The Free Burma Ranger motto:
Love each other, unite and work for freedom, justice, and peace.
Forgive and don’t hate each other.
Pray with faith, act with courage, never surrender.
