While Janice has always been the literal and figurative mother of the Bible Discovery family, her role has expanded and developed much over the years and remains an active and influential part of the show. In Rod’s own words, “It’s a family thing.” Today, Rod and his wife Janice, along with their two adult children Corie and Ryan, complete the Bible Discovery team of four. ![]() The road was still fraught with many ups and downs but the Lord has been faithful in both. Together, Rod and Ron created a program that helps people understand how to engage with the Bible. It was here that the Lord restored the vision Rod and his father had given up on 10 years earlier. In 1993, Rod took the position of Executive Director with Bible Discovery (formerly Quick Study Television). After much prayer, Rod took a step of faith and returned, becoming the Senior Producer at 100 Huntley Street until 1994. He had no plans to return to a pastoral role or Christian television, but in 1987, Rod reconnected with his friend David Mainse who asked him to return and work alongside him in Christian television. After the failed radio ministry dreams of working alongside his father, Ron, coupled with feelings of frustration with the Church, Rod pursued a career in marketing and became the Executive Vice President at Tavco Marketing & Media. Like many, Rod and his family have experienced a considerable amount of trauma and pain on their faith journey. Together they have three children and four grandchildren (and counting). It was there that Rod met and fell in love with his wife, Janice. He was enamoured!Īfter graduating from college in Arkansas, Rod relocated to Ontario, Canada to work alongside his father and other family members at Kennedy Road Tabernacle (KRT). He even lost 21 of them in one year – left behind in school buses, lunch rooms and relinquished to skeptical teachers who demanded his complete attention. Formerly the boy running from the police, Rod became the boy carrying a torn up Bible with him everywhere. Rod felt convicted and asked the Holy Spirit to intervene in His life. But at 14 he read through the Psalms and felt everything shift. As a Pastor’s kid, Rod struggled to connect with God and His Word. Today Rod finds unending delight in the Bible, but like most of us, he hasn’t always felt that way. He will return and stay upon the earth for 1,000 years, then introduce the new heaven and new earth (Revelation 19, 22). We believe that there is eternal rest and purpose in the restoration of Jesus Christ to our soul. He or she is readying him or herself for heaven and has access to the correcting power of Jesus Christ (John 3:16, Romans 1). ![]() When he or she invites Jesus Christ into their heart as Lord and Saviour, then the terms change. We believe that mankind is in a fallen condition and his work is unholy without Jesus Christ as Lord. We believe that the Holy Spirit is the true presence of God, individual, yet complete and truly God (1 Corinthians 12). Jesus Christ is truly God and truly man (1 John 5:11-13). We believe that the purpose and message of Jesus Christ is redemption of man, salvation, purpose and expression of the accepted Gospel of God. We believe that mankind was created in holiness, but by voluntary transgression fell from this state (Genesis 1:27, 3:6-24). We believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross, rose from the dead in the flesh on the third day and ascended to heaven (Romans 10:8-13). He is the perfect source for all truth (John 4:24, Matthew 28:19). We believe in one God – the expression of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit – one God in all.
