ERF Jess

ERF Jess is the younger offering of the Christian media organization ERF (Evangeliums-Rundfunk) and, by its own account, is aimed at a young audience. The website describes the station as a cross-media offering of music, stories and talks, distributed across radio, podcasts and video. The focus is on faith topics, presented in short formats.

The programme includes several podcast and feature series. “Talkwerk” lets people talk about their faith, for example in an episode about a man who survived a knife attack and forgives the perpetrator. The “Spruch des Tages” (“Verse of the Day”) is an approximately one-minute feature in which devotional speakers such as Julian Schnaubelt or Claudia Mertens expound a Bible passage. The “Album der Woche” (“Album of the Week”) section presents music; in the current case it is the album “All God, Not Me” by Jaye King, featuring modern gospel.

The website also promotes a free faith course and a competition for two tickets to an acoustic tour by O’BROS. The research contains no information on broadcast area, frequencies or year of founding.
