Ancient Faith Radio

Ancient Faith Radio is an Internet radio station founded by John Maddex in 2004 that is centered on Orthodox Christianity. Originally it featured primarily Orthodox worship music, interspersed with quotes from the Bible and the Church Fathers as well as a "Saint of the Day" segment. Later, podcasts were added with teaching-oriented broadcasts from such figures as Father Thomas Hopko. Before founding Ancient Faith Radio, Maddex was the division manager of Moody Institute's 35 radio stations and had also done radio work for Focus on the Family. In 2009, Ancient Faith Radio received 135,000 iPod downloads a month.[1][2] Station manager Bobby Maddex conducted a survey of the station's listeners in 2011 and found that converts outnumbered cradle Orthodox nearly three to one. The station is now affiliated with the Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of North America, a branch of Orthodoxy known for its evangelistic outreach.[3][4]
