Review~ Season 6: Underground Rising from Brinkman Adventures


Mountain of Grace Homeschooling

Adding a variety of resources to our homeschool lesson is essential to us in order to avoid a dull, boring lesson. Most students don't want to spend all their time reading textbooks. We were thrilled when we were given the opportunity to review Season 6: Underground Rising from Brinkman Adventures.

Missionary Stories

Brinkman Adventures is a thrilling radio show filled with adventure and excitement for children of all ages. The missionary stories are true and current, but told through the eyes of the fictional Brinkman family. The Brinkman Adventures series were created by Beachglass Ministries. Beachglass Ministires is a non-profit, non-denominational Christian origination that strives to encourage the next generation of Christians. 



Underground Risins

For this review, we received a link to download Season 6: Underground Rising. This adventure can also be purchased in CD form. Buyers will get 6 episodes on 2 CD's. The digital download cost $19.99, while the physical CD's cost $23.99. 

Season 6: Underground Rising contains 6 episodes that lead listeners into more than two hours of danger and adventure.

55~ Dutch Underground Part 1 (World War II)
56~ Dutch Underground Part 2 (World War II)
57~ Twice Born Fly (Alaska)
58~ I Wonder Why? (Missionary family in India)
59~ Free Burma Rangers Part 1 (Missionary work of Dave Eubank)
60~ Free Burma Rangers Part 2 (Missionary work of Dave Eubank conitnued)

We listened to all 6 episodes together. Even though the kids are getting older, they still enjoy having a variety of learning tools available to them. Our favorite episodes were the two about World War III, Episodes 55 and 56. While listening, we were transported back in time to war-torn Holland. During these two tales, we met Reng and Lynn VanKesteren. We witnessed their struggles and determination during this horrific war. We saw why it's important to stand up to evil in this world. 

These two stories went well with our history lessons from last year (which we finished up over the summer). Having the previous knowledge of this part of history helped Michael and Therese understand the fear and decisions this family faced. Therese is currently finishing up a novel about a young German girl in World War II, so these two stories went along great with that story. When learning about history, she hates reading dry, boring books, so these real life stories about real people told in a engaging way help her learn more about history and understand it. It helps give her a deeper appreciation of it. I love seeing her become involved in her lessons and stories. Even more than that, I like seeing her enjoy learning about history!


What We Thought of Season 6:Underground Rising?


I love how these stories bring history and missionary work to life for their listeners. They are filled with love, sacrifice, and heroism. Each story brings scripture and prayer life up front and in center. They truly show how faith can be a part of our daily lives. This helps young people see that it is O.K. to have a strong sense of faith and to share your beliefs, while respecting and loving others. 

An added bonus I loved about this program is the real life stories. This is really my favorite part! If you head over to the Brinkman Adventures website, they have a tab that leads readers to a page with the real life stories told during the adventures. This is wonderful way to bring history to life for students. It allows them to see that this is real and not just an entertaining story. The page has pictures, podcasts, and stories from the people that actually lived through these adventures. These real life stories are a fantastic way to encourage young men and women. It helps them see that some things are worth fighting for!
