SBC’s Christian reality series lines up opening guests

Bebo Norman, Sarah Sadler and the Paul Colman Trio will make guest appearances on FamilyNet’s new Christian reality series “TruthQuest: California.” The artists are represented by the Nashville-based Essential Records label.

“TruthQuest: California” is FamilyNet Television’s twist on reality TV, differing from previous reality fare as 12 Christian teenagers take a journey to California to apply their faith in the real world. For 18 days in July, the TruthQuesters will write stories about and participate in cutting-edge ministry in the state.

Their stories will appear on Baptist Press, and their adventures will be chronicled in 13 half-hour episodes by FamilyNet Television to air weekly beginning Oct. 3. The TruthQuest: California team will learn to surf with Christian surfers in San Diego, attend a church on the beach, meet Christian celebrities, rappel with missionaries in Yosemite National Park and interact with locals in the Haight-Ashbury District of San Francisco. As a study guide, participants will use the TruthQuest Inductive Student Bible provided by Broadman & Holman Publishers.

“This program is about what’s right with young people today,” said Martin Coleman, FamilyNet vice president of programming, “It’s Christian teenagers who desire a deeper relationship with Christ and who want to make a positive impact on their world.”
