Dr. Robert Owens Chronicles the History of the Future

Why Did He Come? December 23, 2025

In “Why Did He Come?” S5 / E35 of I Took a Right Turn: First up is a discussion of current events in the Promised Land including the weather report.  The songs we share are made to fit the season, Christmas all the way: Go Tell it on the Mountain an African American spiritual song and Christmas carol which was derived from oral traditions.  It was first printed in an early-1900s compilation of African American folk songs. Another song that’s a staple of Christmas was originally in Latin known as “Adeste Fideles,” the earliest printed version is in a book dating to 1751.  In 1841, it was first translated into English as “O Come All Ye Faithful.”  Our final cover song expresses the uniqueness of Jesus, There is None Like You. We finish up the musical portion of the Podcast with one of our home-grown songs.  As a song writer I always wanted to write a Christmas song.  God finally answered my prayers this year and wouldn’t you know it He answered it with a song that fits perfectly into my style as a song writer, A Hymn for Him.  Turning to the Bible, we look at John 4:14 and II Corinthians 5:19 wherein Paul speaks to us about why Jesus came and what that advent really means.  Robert then reads another poem from his second book of poetry, Floating Through Time, “It’s a Bridge.”  Each episode this season includes a poem from this book.  We continue to announce the new segment of the Podcast staring in 2026, “A Miracle Moment.”  In this new segment, they’ll share some of the many miracles we’ve witnessed in our more than forty years of ministry.  We also invite everyone to send us your miracle stories.  Everyone who does will receive one of Robert’s books.  We’re very excited about this new segment because we feel God has guided us into this expansion of the Podcast Ministry.  Just go to  itookarightturn.com and use the message system to submit. 

The text of these readings is posted the day after the release of each episode at www.itookarighturn.com All of Robert’s more than forty books are available in paperback, Kindle, and Audible through Amazon.
