Chuck Hamby accepts the Best Television Teaching Program award for Born To Be Free at the 2005 NRB Convention.

Cornerstone TeleVision's Born To Be Free, a thirteen-week television series that delves into the dangerous world of addiction, recently received the National Religious Broadcasters (NRB) award for Best Television Teaching Program. The award is given annually to a program that best demonstrates creative use of the teaching format, adheres to sound doctrine and biblical integrity, and is uniquely innovative in the presentation of the Gospel.

Born To Be Free is hosted by La Verne Tripp and traces the spiritual roots of the "Oxford Groups" & "AA". A 20-year dream of Ron Hembree and Chuck Hamby, Born To Be Free became a reality when Hembree assumed the leadership role of Cornerstone TeleVision. Through personal testimonies from former addicts and historical data, the series stresses the need for salvation and regeneration by the Holy Spirit, whose indwelling enables the former addict to maintain a clean life before the Lord. Born To Be Free contrasts society's answer with the biblical approach to the problem and viewers find hope and freedom through embracing Christ and His Word.

Born To Be Free not only ministers to the addict watching television, but provides resources and information on getting involved in a local recovery group. Plus, it is a useful tool for those living with addicts to help them understand what the addict is going through and how to best help them. The program is aired throughout the world via television networks and the internet.
