#14 Living God's Adventure - John Fornof
Early on in his life, John Fornof had a great love for storytelling. When riding with his sister to their father’s house on weekends, he would be enraptured by his father’s fairy tales.
When his father presented him with a cassette recorder shortly thereafter, John was both intrigued and delighted. Using his imagination, he began to record his own audio dramas. Eventually, he grew a desire to do radio drama long term.
For a while, it would seem as if his life would go a different path, and his dream would never come true. He began working as a television producer and eventually became an executive producer for a local television network.
However, John’s dream suddenly became a reality when he was hired in 1997 by Focus On The Family. His job description: screenwriter for the hit children’s Christian radio drama — “Adventures in Odyssey”.
John describes his story up to now in three words: a life adventure. He gives God the credit for orchestrating the challenges, events, and miracles in his life which would eventually bring him to where he is today.
