What Is Delph Radio and How Can You Listen to It?

Delph Radio is an internet radio station run by members of the Dawn Christadelphians, based at delphradio.net. It describes itself as "God's Word to All Nations" and broadcasts a mix of speech and music — contemporary songs and traditional hymns — intended for both Bible beginners and those already familiar with the Bible. You can listen in a browser, or through a separate player such as Winamp if the built-in player does not work. The station is supported by listener contributions and welcomes feedback by email or text.

Who runs Delph Radio?

The station's own introduction says it was set up by members of the Dawn Christadelphians. It states that it believes it is the first internet radio station to be set up by Christadelphians, and its stated purpose is to spread God's Word "in season and out of season" (2 Timothy 4:2) via the internet.

The Christadelphians describe themselves as "Brothers and Sisters in Christ" — a body of Bible-believing people who aim to live by faith in Jesus Christ according to the teaching of his first-century followers, taking their instruction from a wholly inspired Bible. The station also thanks its contributors, noting that it has received many Gospel tracks and that these are welcome as long as they are based on sound doctrine.

What does the station broadcast?

The content is a mix of words and music. According to the site, the content is updated regularly, and there should be something for the Bible beginner as well as for listeners more familiar with the Bible. The station also maintains a schedule page (listed as "Delph Radio Schedule" on the site).

What do Christadelphians believe?

The station's "What Christadelphians Believe" section presents an introduction to the key areas of Christadelphian belief, stating that all of these beliefs are firmly rooted in the Bible. The beliefs listed in the site material include:

• The Bible is God's word and the only message from him. It is without error, except for copying and translation errors (2 Timothy 3:16; Hebrews 1:1).
• There is only one God — the Father.
• Central to Christadelphian belief is that Christ will one day return to the Earth to establish the Kingdom of God and grant eternal life to his people — those who have tried to follow him and God.

The site notes that you may disagree with some of the points made, and that the section is intended as an introduction rather than a complete statement of doctrine.

How to listen

1. Go to delphradio.net. The station's built-in browser player should start playing the station playlist automatically.
2. If it does not play, enable Flash in your browser, or click one of the icons on the graphic — for example, the Winamp icon — and listen to the playlist that way.
3. If you want to respond to something you hear, the site gives two contact routes: email [email protected], or text the studio on 07902420996 (UK).

The station also states that it is listed on external radio listing sites, including Internet Radio and Latest News.

What to expect

This is a niche, faith-based station rather than a general music service. Its programming is built around Christadelphian teaching and Bible content, with music chosen to match. If you are looking for a station that explains Bible themes from a Christadelphian perspective, or simply want to hear the mix of speech and hymns it describes, the browser player is the fastest way in; if that fails, the Winamp route is the documented fallback. If you hear something that intrigues or puzzles you, the email and text contacts are the station's own invitation to get in touch.
