    Default Jeff Foxworthy hosts Bible trivia game show on GSN

    I was just reading about this news across the internet and I didn't know that Jeff has been campaigning with Mitt Romney! I wish that wasn't so because I love Jeff and feel he is a true Christian. I have seen him talk about Jesus as his personal savior for years.

    Anyway, this might be interesting. I love the GSN old game shows like Match Game, which in it's day I use to go into NYC and see it live with many other game shows.

    I am wondering how many people will tune in for this. It shall be interesting to find out how the Bible does in ratings.

    Will you watch? I will!

    Is Jesus your co-pilot? If so, then you better switch seats!

    How cool! I appreciate Foxworthy, never heard him work *blue* and I've also heard him mention Jesus is his Savior.

    Looking forward to seeing the contestant, one Mr. Buzzardhut from RR.

    Jeff may see Romney as the best of the bunch - not saying much!

    I would love to compete on that show, and invest the winnings in handouts!

    Isaiah 6:8 I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: “ Whom shall I send, And who will go for Us?”

    Then I said, “Here am I! Send me.”

    I would watch the show I don't watch hardly any TV except news.. A Bible show quiz would be a welcome change!

    Heather, this is part of the article, it is not individual winnings...

    "The contestants will share their compelling back stories and each team will be playing for a worthy faith-based organization..

    I say there should be a RR team! Mods and all you other long time Bible scholars please think about it. How fun would that be?

    Like it!

    Some Bible distributor (not me, God's got me set), could really reach a lot of people!

    Jeff needs to share the gospel with Romney so he can be saved & leave the Mormon church. Wouldn't it be something if Mitt Romney gets saved?

    No thanks. I'd probably suffer a terminal case of brain freeze. Besides, my talents run more towards discernment than rote memory skills. Anyway, the light reflecting off my forehead would blind anyone watching (if my face didn't crack the screen first ).

    I'll definitely check it out....there is so little on TV that's of any value at all, hopefully people will watch and support it.

    It will be interesting to see what view the writers of the program slate their questions?

    Yep, Foxworthy is a Christian...and from what I've heard, a pretty devout one at that. I read some interesting comments from him concerning the Rapture, but I can't remember exactly where...maybe one of the RR pieces.

    Default The American Bible Challenge premiers Thursday 8/23/12 on GSN!

    Here is the website:

    http://gsntv.com/shows/the-american-bible-challenge/

    Premiers Thursday 8/23/12 at 8PM EDT on Game Show Network.

    This is a new game show on the Game Show Network hosted by Jeff Foxworthy. I had started a thread a long time ago about this show when I first read about it, but now I can't find it. If the mods can find it, then please do whatever you want with it. But, if possible, can you leave THIS post at the top as we now have a date and new information. The old post was made months ago.

    At the above website there is a newsletter you can subscribe to, which I did. Jeff does some video "dailies" on faith topics and then asking people to comment. I can't hear the videos and therefore didn't comment but it would be nice if we supported this show, because this is finally a show on TV that a family can watch together.

    There is a list of the charities and contestants at the website also, quite a few of them. Maybe they are going to rotate. What do you all think about them?

    I looked at my Comcast guide and it looks as if each episode will be repeated alot during the week until the following Thursday when a new episode starts.

    I thought it might be fun to keep this as an ongoing thread discussing the show, each episode, the contestants, the questions, how you think you would have done and what you think about Jeff's little commentaries.

    Maybe if you have time you can make some comments at the site after listening to Jeff's dailies as there doesn't seem to be too many people doing so. Also could some of you discuss what Jeff talked about in the "dailies" (they are short) for us that can't hear the videos. There are quite a few of us now and we would sure appreciate it. We are grateful for closed captioning on our TV's so watching won't be a problem.

    I am not sure that many people are aware of this show. It has been advertised tons on the GSN but not many people watch that network so please pass the word to your friends and families that might be interested. I don't want this show to be cancelled, it will just be fuel for the naysayers.

    I will be interested to hear what people here at RR have to say about the show each week. I know when I posted my first post a long time ago, people here were very interested in watching it.

    Let's have some fun with a discussion each week but also let's pray that a show like this opens some hearts to the greatest book of all, the HOLY BIBLE. :-)

    I am looking foward to this show. I pray it reaches somebody and that its not full of apostasy.

    Threads have been merged. As long as the topic remains viable the thread should be easy to find.

    Yesterday i was watching "making the All American Bible Challenge" on GSN and they will be singing actual old Hymns. The choir they have was singing Leaning on the Everlasting Arms. So that to me is a huge encouragement. They were also saying they arent playing to keep the money. Any money won will go ministries of the players chosing.
