The Vow Over the Airwaves Train Ride

Summary

KYDS Radio puts together a bunch of shows involving adaptations of parables that deal with living a good life.

Plot

Over-the-airwaves.png

KYDS Radio produces two of Jesus’ parables about the kingdom of heaven, both with a twist. The first is the parable of the two sons. It is about a father and his two children, in this case played by George, Jimmy, and Donna Barclay. George tells Donna to mow the lawn. She refuses but later does as her father asked. Then George tells Jimmy to mow the lawn. Jimmy agrees, but he doesn’t follow through. Although Donna didn’t comply at first, she, unlike Jimmy, did what her father asked. This illustrates the point that even the worst sinners who truly repent will enter into heaven before those who were simply ‘good’ or ‘religious.’

Following this is the parable of the tenants. In this parable, a vineyard owner sends his servants, then his son, to collect rent from the farmers working the vineyard. But in the Kid’s Radio version, the setting changes to the old West, the vineyard becomes Southspoon Ranch, and the owner is now Matt Cartwood. Although told humorously, the point is serious: The kingdom of heaven will be taken away from the chief priests and the Pharisees and given to people who follow God’s will for His kingdom.

The Kid’s Radio production of the two parables is a smashing success.

Discussion Questions

  1. When your parents ask you to do something, do you respond like Jimmy or Donna did?
    • How should you respond?
  2. Who did Mr. Cartwood represent?
    • Jeremy?
    • The Southspoon Ranch?
  3. How do the lessons from these two parables apply to us today?

Notes

Trivia
  • When Connie turns on the radio, the show that is playing in the background is from #114: “The Big Broadcast”.
  • The names 'Matt Cartwood', and 'Wes Chester' from 'Young Guns Bonanza' is a vague allusion to 'Gunsmoke', with the man in charge named Matt and the sidekick named Chester.
  • This episode was used in Radio Scripts, Volume 3.
  • The music played during the introduction of 'Young Guns Bonanza' bears a strong resemblance to the theme of "The Magnificent Seven."
  • The name 'Cartwood' in Young Guns Bonanza' is a vague allusion to the TV show Bonanza: with Cartwood being a slight deviation from 'Cartwright'.
  • Parts of this episode were used in #502: “Live at the 25!”.
  • Wes's description of the TV show: "this fella named Rocky from Dakota went up into a saloon to meet up with a girl named McGill, or Lil, but everyone knew her as Nancy--" comes from the Beatles song "Rocky Raccoon".
  • This is Phil Lollar's 100th episode directing.

Quotes

Matt Cartwood: Well, Wes, I'd say the South Spoon Ranch is completed. We've split logs, pushed soil, herded cattle, and sheered sheep!
