Soul Sustenance - Scrooge: A Christmas Carol Podcast

 SCROOGE: A Christmas Carol podcast, the four-part audio drama presented by Hope Media Group and Compassion International is back for the 2024 holiday season. After an extremely successful run in 2023, garnering accolades such as Christian Music Broadcasters ‘Podcast of the Year,’ Ambie nomination for ‘Best Performance in Audio Fiction,’ and the top rated audio drama on the Apple Podcast Charts, SCROOGE will be available wherever podcasts are found on November 22. This new adaptation of “A Christmas Carol” by Charles Dickens highlights inspirational themes and will encourage listeners for many generations to come. While being true to the original story, screenwriter P.G. Cuschieri and creator/producer Mark Ramsey imagined fresh elements which highlight the story’s redemptive nature with beloved actors John Rhys-Davies (Indiana Jones) and Sean Astin (Lord of the Rings).


To encourage deeper engagement with the message, The World’s Biggest Small Group will once again offer the companion piece, ‘SCROOGE: A five-Day Devotional’ based on the Charles Dickens' classic tale. This study invites people to reflect on choosing joy, embracing contentment, and extending mercy. This year there will also be activities for children which will encourage families to listen to SCROOGE together.

WORLDS BIGGEST SMALL GROUP: SCROOGE BIBLE STUDY 

  • World’s Biggest Small Group Bible Study In a 5-day devotional, we explore the timeless lessons from Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol about choosing joy, finding contentment, and extending mercy during the holiday season. It's a reminder that Christmas offers a second chance for all, just as it did for Ebenezer Scrooge in the past and for us today.


SYNOPSIS 

This four-episode adaptation of “Scrooge: A Christmas Carol” by Charles Dickens brings the characters we all know and love to life like never before, featuring a star-studded dramatic audio adaptation in podcast form. Ebenezer Scrooge, a self-obsessed, miserable miser of all things un-merry and un-bright, is everything Christmas isn’t. After he is visited by the spirits of Christmas Past, Present and Yet to Come, Scrooge transforms into a new man and embodies all the best parts of Christmas. Through this journey of transformation, listeners will encounter themes of joy, mercy, hope and more. This fresh retelling of the holiday classic will entertain, inspire and remind you that even the hardest of hearts can find redemption. The story of Scrooge is a known commodity and has been well-loved for nearly 180 Christmases.
