This summer I had a number of conversations with men I respect greatly regarding Christian Broadcasting and the family.  Some of them have been broadcasters, others have been pastors and elders, and all are fathers who care deeply for thier families.

For the last few years I have had a growing concern about religious broadcasting and the culture of how we do things, who we feature and what we say (or what we don't say). 

Over the next few blogs, I am going to try and process some of the topics we discussed and lay out an emerging philosophy for religious broadcasting.  These ideas are still being developed and I am grateful for those who are helping me work through them.

For those who know my background and current employment, I wish to say that these comments are not intended to imply that those who have trained me and given me such great opportunities are not thinking about these things, rather it is an opportunity for me, as a father and an instructor of the next generation of Christian Broadcasters, to reconsider the way things are done and shape how it could be done in the future through them.

Some of the topics I'll highlight include:

1.) The role of Christian Radio in the Christian Family.

2.) Changing the demographics of the Christian audience.

3.) Creating familial accountability in the confluence of spiritual discipleship sources.

4.) Best methods for changing the industry.


Feel free to leave comments and enter into the dialogue.


From Proverbs 3


Trust in the LORD with all your heart,
      And lean not on your own understanding; 

In all your ways acknowledge Him,
      And He shall direct your paths. 

Do not be wise in your own eyes;
      Fear the LORD and depart from evil. 

It will be health to your flesh,
      And strength to your bones. 

Honor the LORD with your possessions,
      And with the firstfruits of all your increase; 

So your barns will be filled with plenty,
      And your vats will overflow with new wine.
