The Stanley Jones Radio School for Fully Alive Living, produced by the What It Takes Radio Company, aired a compelling 16-minute program exploring a provocative question: Was missionary and spiritual leader E. Stanley Jones one of the rare 3% of people who live with extraordinary purpose, clarity, and conviction?

Program Summary

The broadcast opens with reflections on Sabbath rest and preparation for the week ahead, setting the tone for deeper spiritual reflection. The host then introduces the idea of the 'select 3%'—those few individuals who live with purpose, poise, power, and a plan. Drawing from coaching insights and research conducted in India, listeners are reminded that most people drift through life, while only a small minority rise to focused, purposeful living. Against this backdrop, the life of E. Stanley Jones is held up as a shining example. From his transformative experience at Asbury College to his pioneering ministry across India and beyond, Jones embodied the qualities of the 3%—a man filled with conviction, courage, and the empowering presence of the Holy Spirit. The program also highlights the role of his wife, Mabel, whose educational innovations in India complemented and expanded his mission. Together, they modeled what it means to live 'fully alive' in service to God and others. Listeners are reminded that Jones believed in the kingdom of God as a present reality, not just a distant hope. His embrace of innovative platforms—ashrams, forums, and media—showed his commitment to reaching people wherever they were. Today, the program continues his legacy by leveraging podcasts, streaming, and global voices, including future initiatives to feature the sounds and languages of India itself.
