Jonathan Park is an action adventure Religious Edutainment radio drama, primarily focused on theories of creationism, biblical themes and family values. The series follows the Park and Brenan families, particularly the titular character Jonathan, his father Dr. Kindle Park and Jessie Brenan (Jonathan's best friend), as they travel the world studying science, solving mysteries, surviving natural disasters and fighting occasional CriminalsThe series begins when Jonathan and Dr. Park have to take shelter in a cave, after being stranded in a New Mexico flood. Eventually, the Brenans, who happen to own the land the cave is on, happen to be evacuating in the same storm stumble upon the cave, but they quickly become friends, especially Dr. Kindle Park and Jim Brenan. After Jonathan brief fight with a Con Man and his Mooks, Dr. Park and Jim decide to build a creation museum around the cave.Several adventures later, after barely surviving a hurricane with a response team called F.I.R.S.T., the two families end up forming the Creation Response Team (CRT) , who although devoted to scientific expeditions, most often end up solving crimes and finding artifacts on an international level. They ended up on TV, went to space, stopped an Egyptian revolution and mysteriously disbanded.For the majority of its run, it was produced by a non-prophet company called Vision Forum, but ceased production of the series in 2014, after serious allegations arose concerning one of their leaders. The rights would eventually be picked up by Wise King Media, a larger for-prophet company, who allowed the series to have a much larger budget and more cinematic tone than the early albums, though with a lot of deviations from the source material. | |

As the Good Book Says... | |
| Jonathan Park (Radio) / int_2439b588 | comment |
As the Good Book Says...: At least a quarter of the dialogue in the series is basically this. It's much more downplayed in the newer albums. They don't even use 1790 KJV anymore. | |

Arch-Enemy | |
| Jonathan Park (Radio) / int_32da548d | comment |
Arch-Enemy: Myles Morgan, the leader of FI.R.S.T. and trainer of the CRT did not accept the CRT's religious approach, so they decided to let him go, but not before he faced a lawsuit concerning FI.R.S.T and aquired a lot of debt unbeknownst to the CRT. He quickly turned to crime and swore vengeance, in the following albums, and is largely the main antagonist of the series. | |

Gadget Watches | |
| Jonathan Park (Radio) / int_90e05a0c | comment |
Gadget Watches: Every member of the CRT has a "Communicator Watch", a Dick Tracy style device powered by a Satellite/Two way radio network. Though initially just long distance wrist walkie talkies, they gradually started being able to do basically anything the plot requires, including taking pictures of criminals, accessing the internet and emails, GPS, virtual reality (using Z) etc. They are prone to water damage. | |

Rewrite | |
| Jonathan Park (Radio) / int_930a6407 | comment |
Rewrite: Kindle's entire backstory was altered in the newer albums. His original character design was far more compelling, abandoning the faith as a young man, becoming a secular Ph D in Paleontology who eventually found too many anomalies in his field, was fired for his anomalous discoveries, read the Bible cover to cover for multiple nights in a row, and finally became a Christian with Jonathan following shortly after, but in the newer continuity, its heavily implied that he has always been a man of faith. | |

Author Filibuster | |
| Jonathan Park (Radio) / int_b593baf1 | comment |
Author Filibuster: Though it's less the religious beliefs and more long drawn out discussions about science, history, mathematics and other parts of creation. Although this usually loops back around to their beliefs in young earth creationism, it will take a little while to get there, making the conversations either really interesting or boring, depending on the audience. This was Lampshaded in an episode with Simon Adelman, the Con Man with a history with the two families, who knew exactly how their conversations worked. It was Justified in the Journey Never Taken, due to how solving historical and scientific problems was necessary to continue the plot. It's very Downplayed in the newer episodes from Wise King Media. | |

Real Men Love Jesus: Especially Dr. Park and Jim Brenan. They avoid violence where they can, but are not afraid to put themselves in danger or physically attack an enemy to protect their families. Jonathan also takes on very evident shades of this as the siries progresses. | |

| Jonathan Park (Radio) / int_da46a2c0 | comment |
Hollywood Atheist: This trope is surprisingly subverted for a series about Creationism. Dr. Park was fired for more business related reasons, Myles Morgan (the Arch-Enemy of the CRT) is agonistic and more out for revenge. The ones who do appear are generally very minor, or have another more complicated agenda. | |

| Jonathan Park (Radio) / int_e4965307 | comment |
Composite Character: In the Vision Forum albums, Benjamin Park was often accompanied by the neighborhood club known as the Eagles Nest Gang, who were mostly Played for Laughs, and played a big role in Jonathan's Character Development, but when Wise King Media took over the franchise, they condensed all of the characters into Isaac Brenan (Jessie's cousin), who largely plays the exact same role, especially as the comedic relief. | |
