Tom Fry's 'Second Hand Smoke' uses the smell of tobacco to bring back memories of a deceased father—addressed to listeners who have lost a parent.

The episode opens with Rockin' Ron introducing the Off the Grid program, which is dedicated to sharing new songs and new artists he received during the week. He announces the first set, starting with Lloyd Miller's 'Nothing Impossible,' framed by Luke 1:37—'nothing is impossible with God.' George Case's 'Light of the World' and Seth Addison's 'Closer' follow. Seth Addison's 'Closer' features lyrics about God being nearest when a person is at their lowest, with phrases like 'I've held his hand in the darkness below' and 'at your lowest he's never been closer.' The program then pauses for a daily bread devotional segment on the concept of 'slow anger.' Written by John Blaze and read by Stephen Tabor, the devotional draws on Joel 2:12-18 and introduces 'slow television'—a genre started in Norway with a seven-hour broadcast of a train journey—as a metaphor for God's measured patience. The devotional argues that God's anger arrives slowly, unlike the hot-tempered narratives of human drama, and closes with a prayer and reflection questions. After the devotional, Rockin' Ron introduces the next set: Keith Moore and Broken Records with 'Make Room for the Kingdom,' Jeff Booth with 'Waiting,' and Scott Reagan with 'This Is Who I Am.' Willie Casey's 'Something About That Love,' Samuel Day's 'You're Always Good,' and Bethany Whirl's 'This Is What I Want / This Is How I Know' follow. Rockin' Ron highlights new discovery Dawson Hayden with 'Monsters Broken Sound' before introducing Brandon Bartner's 'The Death of Death.' Tom Fry's 'Second Hand Smoke' closes this section, described as a personal tribute to a father, using sensory memories like riding in a pickup truck, horseback rides, and fishing in a creek. The host dedicates the song specifically to listeners who have lost a parent. The final three songs are Dana Gregory's 'It's Never Too Late,' Krystal Craven's 'Choosing Joy in Grief,' and Sandra Lamb's 'You Keep On Blessin' Me.' Krystal Craven's song addresses grief after a loved one's death, choosing to focus on the promise of reunion. The program signs off crediting Angel 95 and Christian Media Spotlight Radio as broadcast homes.
