Make plans to tune in September 17-20! During this week, we will be showcasing some the best programming we have to offer including thought-provoking, educational documentaries that help you learn and live God’s Word by proclaiming truth with excellence, clarity, and boldness. Tune in each night for the following lineup:
The God Who Speaks
MON, September 17 (8p ET & 9p PT)
Is God real? Does He speak, and if so, how would we know? The God Who Speaks traces the evidence of the Bible’s authority through interviews with some of the world’s most respected biblical scholars. This film answers common objections about the Bible’s reliability and equips believers to confidently base their lives on the power of God’s Word.
Living Waters
TUES, September 18 (8p ET & 9p PT)
Photographed throughout the Pacific, Caribbean, and Atlantic oceans, and the rivers of Washington and Canada, Living Waters explores the mysteries of humpback whales, sea turtles, dolphins, and salmon. This breathtaking documentary celebrates a timeless truth: every creature that swims, runs, flies, or crawls across our planet is the product— not of genetic accidents or blind chance— but of purpose, imagination, and design!
Jesus: Dead and Buried?
WED, September 19 (8p ET & 9p PT)
If you want to understand anything about what Christians believe, you cannot ignore the cross. Presenter, Luke Waldock, travels to Jerusalem to see the places where Jesus himself would have walked during the last few hours of his life. He sifts through the evidence – historical, medical, and theological – and he finds answers.
Adoniram and Anne Judson: Spent for God
THURS, September 20 (8p ET & 9p PT)
As the first missionaries sent abroad from the United States, Adoniram and Ann served in Burma (present day Myanmar) for decades. Suffering resistance, persecution, imprisonment, personal loss, and ill health, Adoniram and Ann’s faithfulness led to the establishment of a church that continues to flourish in the 21st century. Experience the struggles and triumphs of these remarkable missionaries in this illuminating documentary.

NRBTV is pleased to announce the live simulcast of the Colson Center's Wilberforce Weekend.
As the flagship event of the Colson Center, The Wilberforce Weekend is rapidly becoming the premier gathering designed to equip believers in Christian worldview and prepare them for cultural renewal featuring world-class speakers, networking and an inspirational recognition of a Christian leader.
In one week, over 750 will gather at the Hyatt Regency Washington on Capitol Hill. Over the weekend, attendees in Washington, D.C., will be challenged to embrace their calling to live out redemption in this cultural moment, and you can also join in the event from home. Better yet, grab a group of people from your small group or church and watch it together. Last year, more than 60,000 tuned in to NRBTV's livestream.
Registration to attend the simulcast is free and easy. Simply go here and sign up today.
As a reminder, here are just a few of the speakers:
Register for the free simulcast today.
As a ministry leader it's important to be aware of the changes happening in our communities, churches, and culture as well as stay informed about what's taking place inside the halls of government, marketing meetings, and laboratories of science and technology. Below you'll find a short collection of links I've recently read which I found worthy to pass on to you. My hope is they prove helpful in your service to the Lord.

As you prepare to celebrate Resurrection Sunday, I encourage you to spend some time thinking about what this historic events means to you and me.
Through Christ’s resurrection, He conquered sin and death and offers eternal life to everyone who believes. Romans 10:9-10 says “…if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved.”
The resurrection of Jesus assures us of God’s forgiveness. Only Christ can forgive us and free us from the penalty of sin. There is no other name under heaven by which one can be saved, and no other method of salvation other than belief in and identification with Jesus’ death, burial, resurrection and ascension.
Paul says in 1 Corinthians 15:13-14, “But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised. And if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and your faith is in vain.” Jesus could have lived a sinless life, performed miracles, and even been crucified, but if He didn’t come back to life, none of it would have mattered! Our faith would be powerless and dead.
As you prepare your heart and mind, here are some programs to celebrate the Risen Christ:
Starting next week, you will notice several changes to our programming schedule. These updates are listed below.

Today marks the beginning of our Spring Support Week. This is the time we set aside to showcase some of our best programming that will help inspire and equip you to faithfully pursue your unique calling from God. It’s also the time when we invite you to partner with us in ours.
This week’s special lineup of primetime programming features believers who have diligently followed the Lord’s leading in a wide variety of fields—from missions to academia to apologetics. The common thread in these inspiring stories is Christians passionately pursuing the callings that God has given them.
I encourage you to tune in tonight through Thursday night (8 pm Eastern and 9 pm Pacific). As you watch, I hope you will consider partnering with us to enable us to continue doing what we do best. A financial gift of any amount to NRBTV will help us produce, license, and promote more of the biblically-faithful and God-honoring programming you have come to expect.
You can donate online, via our free mobile app, or by phone at 1-800-895-6722.
May God bless you for your generosity and faithfulness.

Technology and innovation continue to play an important role in enabling Christianity to reach a world-wide audience. Because of the efforts of many great forerunners, the Gospel has been shared with numerous people who wouldn’t have otherwise heard the message. Additionally, they have significantly influenced television ministry. Because of these strides, you and I are able to view Christian programming any time of the day from the comfort of our own homes.
One of the pioneers of technology was Rev. Billy Graham. He was committed to proclaiming the Gospel by every means possible. He embraced the power and reach of television early into evangelistic ministry.
While radio, books, and films were important to expanding his ministry, by far the most significant platform was television. The following quote from Graham gives you a glimpse into his feelings on using television for evangelism: “Most preachers and teachers would say, I think, that talking to a live audience stimulates the speaker. It still astonishes me, however, to realize that I can be all alone in front of a radio microphone or a television camera and still reach more people than I ever could in a lifetime of personal appearances.”
Around 1957, Billy Graham started World Wide Pictures as a complement to his Billy Graham Crusade organization. The Billy Graham Crusades reached millions of people through television. Beginning in 1989, a series of Crusades via satellite extended his preaching to live audiences in more than 185 countries and territories. From remote tribal villages to major world capitals, Graham always sought to fulfill Christ’s final command to His disciples: “He said to them, ‘Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation’” (Mark 16:15).
Another innovator that made a significant impact was R.C. Sproul. Early in his ministry, Sproul launched a tape ministry. His audio teaching tapes formed a vast library that spread rapidly around the United States. This exposure opened doors for Sproul to speak at churches and conferences around the country.
In 1974, he began videotaping his lecture series. These recordings enabled him to reach hundreds each week through churches, schools, and Bible studies throughout the U.S. His ministry placed a great emphasis on continuing to expand the audio and videotape ministries. Today, Ligonier Ministries has grown substantially and continues to spread the Word through audio CDs, video DVDs, the internet, television, and other platforms.
I am thankful for the efforts of both of these men and countless others who have made an impact on our ministry. Without their innovations and adaptation of the technologies of their day, how many might not have heard the truth? How many might not have grown in their walk? Only God truly knows how many lives have been influenced by these faithful men.

This morning the world received sad news of the passing of world-renowned evangelist Billy Graham. During his ministry, he shared the Gospel with more people in live audiences than anyone else in history–nearly 215 million people in more than 185 countries and territories, according to Graham’s ministry, the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association (BGEA). Additionally, hundreds of millions more have been reached through television, video, film, and webcasts.
"My one purpose in life," he said, "is to help people find a personal relationship with God, which I believe comes through knowing Christ."
Throughout his life, his primary focus was to spread the message of Jesus Christ to the world. For decades he held numerous preaching Crusades in stadiums and sports arenas across the world.
While I never had the opportunity to meet him personally, I have admired his faithfulness and obedience. His ministry has opened many doors to spreading the gospel. We are so thankful for our partnership with Billy Graham ministries over the years.
The NRBTV team sends our deepest condolences to the Graham family. He will be greatly missed, but we are certain heaven is rejoicing today for his homecoming.

Turek tells us two things we can do using "Fearless Faith" to change culture.
Many Beautiful Things
THURS, March 22 (8p ET & 9p PT)
From Executive Producer Hisao Kurosawa comes the untold story of one of the world's greatest women artists and why her name was nearly lost to history.

The Christmas season in such a wonderful time of the year, surrounded with family traditions and warm memories. It also a busy season filled putting up Christmas decorations, sending out Christmas cards, buying gifts, and planning family gatherings. It is easy to get swept up by all the things we feel that have to be done. Oftentimes, we miss out on truly celebrating the reason for the season.
This year, I encourage you to begin traditions with your family to help you draw closer to the One who is the reason that we celebrate. He is the greatest celebration of all. Here are a few ideas that you may incorporate into your family traditions.
These are just a few things that you can keep and incorporate into your family traditions. Your family can also create your own traditions that will add to our children’s experience of Christmas as the day of Christ’s birth.
“For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and of peace there will be no end, on the throne of David and over his kingdom, to establish it and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness this time forth and forevermore. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will do this.” Isaiah 9:6-7
I hope you and your family have a blessed Christmas.

As I was sitting in standstill traffic this morning, I noticed the most beautiful rainbow shining through the dark gray clouds. All of my frustration from the heavy traffic and continuous rainfall subsided. Instantly, I was reminded of God’s faithfulness.
God used the rainbow as a promise to Noah in Genesis 9: 12-3, “…This is the sign of the covenant that I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for all future generations: I have set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth.” The rainbow covenant is just one of the many promises that God makes.
While people can let us down, God always remains true to His word. He did not promise we will never experience storms, but He has promised He will be with us during them. You can put your hope in His promises.
Remember the next time you see a rainbow that God will keep His promises to you regardless of your hardship, trials, and circumstances.

As you begin to prepare to celebrate Thanksgiving with your family and friends, take time to remember what God has done for you. Join me this year in taking a few moments to recognize God’s favor and grace on our lives.
As I reflect on how much God loves and cares for me, I more clearly see how God provides for my needs and my well-being. Oftentimes we overlook everyday blessings. We are so accustomed to having God provide for us that we often take provisions for granted. We forget to say thank you.
This Thanksgiving, let’s celebrate the day by reflecting how wonderful God is and thanking him for all the blessings in our lives.
“Praise the Lord! Oh give thanks to the Lord, for He is good, for his steadfast love endures forever!” Psalm 106:1
I hope you have a wonderful and blessed Thanksgiving!
