Troy Miller, President & CEO of National Religious Broadcasters discusses the “AM Radio for Every Vehicle Act of 2023” that’s making its way through Congress. This bill requires the Department of Transportation (DOT) to issue a rule that requires all new motor vehicles to have devices that can access AM broadcast stations installed as standard equipment. (AM broadcast stations are often used to deliver emergency alerts and news and entertainment programming; some newer vehicles do not include AM equipment.) NAB spokesman, Alex Siciliano stated,
“AM radio is continuing to reach a vast audience of 82 million listeners each month, and they’ve been very engaged in telling Congress how important this medium is to them in light of the threat by vehicle makers to remove AM from vehicles,”

John Summerville with TWR discusses their worldwide and diverse outreach that started in 1954, using media to take God's Word to all nations, tongues, and tribes. Today’s episode was produced at the 2024 International Christian Media Convention in Nashville, TN.

Carl Carmody from Challenge Literature Fellowship in Australia shares the vision of Challenge, the Good News Paper, to clearly communicate Jesus Christ and His plan of salvation for mankind to all people. Challenge is a bi-monthly paper that includes testimonies of lives changed by the Lord Jesus Christ. It is written in an easy-to-read manner purposely for the non-Christian. What makes Challenge unique is that it is written specifically for the person on the street that may never enter a church. Besides testimonies, Challenge includes articles on good health, science, better marriages, parenting, and sports, as well as games for children and recipes for homemakers.

From the 2024 Christian Media Convention in Nashville TN., we talk with Father Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life, Chairman and Pastoral Director of its Rachel's Vineyard project, and the President of the National Pro-Life Religious Council. In November of 2022, he was defrocked by the Vatican for prioritizing his Pro-Life efforts. Father Frank posted on X, “Hi friends… So, in every profession, including the priesthood, if you defend the #unborn, you will be treated like them! The only difference is that when we are “aborted,” we continue to speak, loud and clear.” Father Frank graduated as valedictorian of his high school class and enrolled at Don Bosco College, a Salesian major seminary in Newton, New Jersey. After leaving the Salesian Order, he joined the Archdiocese of New York.
