Because of your generosity, we were able to produce this film and are excited to be premiering it this week. I am so thankful for everyone who contributed to this project. This film wouldn’t have been possible without your wiliness to contribute. May God bless you for your generosity and faithfulness.
A Call For Freedom: How the Reformation Rescued the Gospel is more than just a history lesson. Hosted Dr. Erwin Lutzer (The Moody Church) and based on his book, Rescuing the Gospel, is a call to arms, reminding us that it is still our task, in 2017 just as in 1517, to preserve the gospel in the face of its foes. What’s more, it equips Christian viewers to make this important stand.

I hope you enjoyed the special primetime programming last week. These programs were selected for our Support week because they perfectly demonstrate our mission to challenge viewers to “think deeply” and “live differently.”
Five-hundred years ago this month, Martin Luther nailed his Ninety-Five Theses to the door of the castle church in Wittenberg, Germany. The Ninety-Five Theses were his manifesto, his declaration of the genuine gospel in the face of a culture that had lost sight of truth.
In a way, we're doing the same thing here at NRBTV. Every day we proclaim gospel truth to a culture that has forgotten who Jesus is, what the Bible says, and who we are before God.
I am so thankful to everyone who contributed during Support Week. Your generosity allows us to produce, license, and promote new Christ-centered programming. If you missed the opportunity to give, it’s not too late. Your contribution—even a small amount—makes a big difference and will be put to work immediately to produce and broadcast thoughtful, biblically-faithful programming. To make your contribution now, call us at 800-895-6722 or click here.
I am so thankful for our viewers. Your generous support is changing hearts and minds through the powerful Gospel programming on television and the internet. May God bless you for your generosity and faithfulness.
We are excited to announce additions to our programming lineup. Beginning the week October 9, tune in to NRBTV for these outstanding programs:

On Sunday morning, our community was shaken when a masked gunman entered Burnette Chapel Church of Christ leaving one woman dead and six other people injured.
While church should be a place of safety, a place of refuge, and a place where hope is restored. This was not the case for this congregation.
It is so heartbreaking to see such violence in a place of worship. The NRBTV team is greatly saddened by this senseless act of violence and send our sympathies and prayers to the church members and their families. We are praying for peace, healing, and comfort for our fellow brothers and sisters in Christ.
I hope you will join us in praying for this church congregation and community.

Over the past few days, we have all see the devastation that Hurricane Harvey has left on numerous communities and cities in South Texas and Louisiana. Torrential rain in these areas has led to unprecedented flooding that has displaced countless people and destroyed numerous homes.
You may be wondering how you can help.
First, I encourage you to pray. Please pray for those who have been impacted and those who are in the path of Hurricane Harvey. Lives have been completely changed. Pray for these individuals as they begin rebuilding their lives.
Pray for the spread of the gospel. Pray that Christians affected by the hurricane will grow in their reliance on Christ. Pray that God will give Christian disaster relief workers the right words and opportunities to share the gospel with people.
Second, there are numerous organizations that are providing aid to the region. Consider making a financial donation to reputable, well-established relief agency. These teams are on the ground and are working to help those affected by the devastating damage. Every little bit will help these people rebuild their lives.
In the coming weeks, the impacted areas will be able to better identify the support they need. Then, they may request donated goods and volunteers to assist in cleanup and rebuilding. Be prayerfully open to these opportunities as they arise.
The NRBTV team is truly heartbroken to see such devastation. Please know that we are praying for those who have been affected by this devastating storm. We pray that God’s healing presence give them peace and hope in their time of need.
God has reminded me that this world isn’t perfect. We were never promised we wouldn’t experience natural disasters, hardships, and recessions. But God promises to be with us always. He is in control and wants us to rely on Him for every need.
“Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your heart before him; God is a refuge for us.” Psalm 62:8

On almost a weekly basis, we receive notes from viewers wanting us to air our programming on additional platforms. So, I would like to share a little about our efforts to expand our presence.
Over the past few months, our Director of Channel Distribution and I have traveled across the United States to visit with several major cable and satellite providers in hopes of getting NRBTV added to their programming lineups. During these meetings, we have introduced our channel and provided them with reasons we should be added to their lineup.
With each visit, we have been praying that God open doors to allow us to further our reach. We are standing firm that these doors will be open and are looking forward to being able to impact more of our culture through our programming.
Please keep our ministry in your prayers. Pray for our team as we continue to promote our network and for our future meetings with providers. Also, if we aren’t currently on your cable or satellite provider, please contact them and request that NRBTV be added to their channel lineup.
Thanks for your continued support. I look forward sharing updates in the near future.

Do you remember your first roller coaster ride? Did you feel anxious and uneasy not knowing what to expect? I recall the pit in my stomach as the roller coaster slowly climbed the hill, the pause at the very top that allowed the anticipation to build, and then the exhilarating free fall as the coaster raced down the track.
Even though you anticipate the ups and downs and know that they will come with great speed, it doesn’t make it any less frightening or thrilling when they come. Each twist and turn, up and down, and sound of creaking track brings uncertainty of what’s next.
Life can be like a roller coaster at times. We can go from being on the top of a mountain one day, to the next day twisting and turning down into a valley and finding ourselves in a low point. In a matter of minutes, we can go from happiness to anger and bitterness.
While our lives are always changing, there is one thing that is always constant, God’s love. Regardless of the situations that we encounter, Jesus stays the same.
“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” Hebrews 13:8
When unexpected trials arise, the Bible reminds us to place our trust in God. Philippians 4:7 reassures us, “And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
While we may not know what tomorrow holds for us, we know that our Savior is greater than any difficulty that we may experience. Be grateful for His love and take comfort in knowing that it is always there and always consistent.

Let your voice be heard! At NRBTV, we value our viewers’ feedback and want to find out more about the programming that you would like to see.
This is your opportunity to help us choose the programs you want to see again, or maybe for the first time. We’ll re-air the top selections during our Viewer’s Choice timeslot Saturdays beginning November 11th through December 2nd at 4 pm Eastern. We urge you to take a few minutes to cast your vote. CLICK HERE to select four programs that you would like to see by September 1st.
For your participation in our Viewers' Choice Survey, we would love to send you a copy of Lee Strobel's The Case for Christ Answer Booklet.
Thanks in advance for helping us identify quality programming that helps people live out their faith with boldness. We look forward to hearing from you!
Do you find it difficult to disconnect from your mobile device or computer? How often during the day do we get distracted by Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, or check our email? Do you check these more than 5 times a day? More than 10 times? Can you go an entire day without checking your social media or email?
While many people say they are so busy that they can’t make time for quiet time, they still find time to check their messages. Consider if every time we checked our social media, we read our Bible instead. While you may not always have your Bible available, you can access scripture through the Bible app. If you don’t have the Bible app, I encourage you to take a few moments to download it. Then you will be able to take it with you everywhere. I challenge you this week to spend a few minutes that would have otherwise been scrolling through your social media feed to read scripture.
This world is full of distractions that pull us away from God, making it very difficult to stay focused on Him. When we become distracted from our faith, we become separated from God. Let’s purposefully strive towards focusing on God and His ways. We can do this by studying His word and praying for guidance. It’s not always easy, but by minimizing distractions and leaning on Him we can.
“Teach me your way, O Lord, that I may walk in your truth; unite my heart to fear your name.” Psalm 86:11

Facebook recently announced that they hit the two billion users mark. It seems like almost everyone you know is on this social media platform. But are their profiles depicting reality?
As you browse through your friends’ profiles, you will see happy individuals and families. They all appear to be having the time of their life. Filled with wonderful vacations and fun-loving people!
Keep in mind, everyone’s life looks better on the internet than it does in real life. This is because the internet allows people to pick and choose what people see.
People share cute or funny pictures of their kids – not the screaming fit they had just a few minutes before the picture was taken.
They share the perfectly cooked meal – not the messy kitchen in the background.
They share their wonderful vacation– without telling us how long they had save for that trip or the debt they incurred because they didn’t save at all.
So the next time you’re scrolling through Facebook, getting depressed because your life isn’t like the others you see online- remember that isn’t reality. All of those pictures don’t represent their entire lives, only the happy moments.
The Bible clearly says “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” Romans 3:23. We all have imperfections, short-comings and sins. Don’t allow the fact that you don’t see the imperfections of others make you feel like you are the only one that doesn’t have a picture perfect life.
While none of us are perfect, God’s grace and mercy is extended to us. He uses our weakness for His glory. “…My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness…” 2 Corinthians 12: 9
He promises that if we seek Him, He will continue to work in us. And that is enough. It’s enough for you and enough for me.

We tend to notice God’s goodness when things are going well. Oftentimes, you hear people say “God is good” after something good has happened. But what about when life gets hard?
While we should reflect on God’s goodness during the good times, we need to also realize that God is good ALL the time. Our circumstances don’t determine God’s character.
Even during life’s painful moments, God provides opportunities for us to grow. He uses these to build character. This is evident in James 1: 2-3, “Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness.”
God also instructs us to use our painful seasons to help others. By experiencing a situation, we are better able to comfort and encourage others as they are going through a difficult season.
“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.” 2 Corinthians 1:3-4
Regardless of what you are facing today, I challenge you to remember that God is good all the time. He is always working for our good.
“And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to His purpose.” Romans 8:28

We all face times in our lives when a choice that we make or an incident that happens causes something in your life to change. These are defining moments. Some are good and others are bad, but each has made an impact in your life. Take a moment to reflect some of your defining moments:
As you reflect on your life journey so far, can you see God’s mercy and His blessing? Has His faithfulness been evident through the good times as well as the tough times? In most cases, our faith grows the most and we feel closest to God through the tougher times.
Ultimately, every defining moment leads us to either trust God or trust ourselves. If you think about, most of the negative defining moments in our lives resulted from trusting in ourselves, in our own judgment, or giving into temptation because we weren’t trusting God to have our best interest in mind.
When it comes to facing defining moments in the future, I encourage you to allow God to lead your path. Trust in His ways and He will help through the good times and the bad.

Summer is officially here! For many of us, summer is typically a time of relaxation and ease. While there is nothing wrong with a break from the normal routine, we need to make sure we aren’t taking a vacation from the Lord.
For parents, it is especially important that we continue to lead our children towards a closer walk with Christ. Let’s strive towards investing more into our children this summer. Here are a few simple ways that we can lead our families towards a closer relationship with Christ.
No matter what happens this summer, please don’t show your children that summer is a time to be lazy in your spiritual walk. Use this time intentionally to dive deeper into God’s word. Spiritual growth doesn’t happen without discipline and a plan.
“…train yourself for godliness; for while bodily training is of some value, godliness is of value in every way, as it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come.” 1 Timothy 4:7-8

Does your life feel like one long “to do” list? Do you feel like you have too many responsibilities and not enough time? Many of us have a hard time resting. When we have a free moment, we may feel uncomfortable and restless. Maybe you feel a sense of guilt when you allow yourself to occasionally slow down. Your list of things that need doing seems to be never ending, so why rest? Because God instructs you to.
God was busy when He created the universe. When He was done, He rested.
“And on the seventh day God finished His work that He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work that He had done. So God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it God rested from all His work that He had done in creation.” Genesis 2:2-3
In the same way, we see Jesus also rested. He often withdrew from people in order to spend time alone with God.
“And rising very early in the morning, while it was still dark, He departed and went out to a desolate place, and there He prayed. And Simon and those who were with Him searched for Him, and they found Him and said to Him, ‘Everyone is looking for you.’” Mark 1:35-37
This passage shows that Jesus withdrew from the crowds when He was most in demand. There were thousands of people waiting for Him to heal them, to teach them, and to bless them. In order for Jesus to accomplish the purpose God had sent Him, He had to remain spiritually strong and thus requiring regular times of prayer and rest.
We should follow His example. One of the most important functions of rest is to allow us to listen to God. Our lives are so busy that oftentimes we become deaf to the still, small voice of God. In the hustle and bustle of our everyday lives, we often find ourselves being controlled by emotion, by habit and circumstance, instead of being guided by the Holy Spirit. Rest allows us to realign our priorities. God wants us to take time with Him and rely on Him for rest.
“Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.” Matthew 11:28-29

When you think of change, does a feeling of uneasiness arise within you? Honestly, I don’t know many people that enjoy change. Whether it’s sudden, like the loss of job, or expected, like a child leaving the nest, change can be difficult.
Changes bring about unknowns and what-ifs. Often times, you have to get accustomed to a new way of life. Many times this isn’t an easy endeavor. However, we can rest assured that through life’s changes, Jesus won’t change.
“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” Hebrews 13:8
This short verse reassures us that even when the world is changing around us, we can place our faith in Jesus. He will be there regardless of whatever we are going through. Many times we choose to go through life’s changes on our own. Yet, if we rely on Jesus, He will bring peace.
I encourage you to keep your focus on Jesus when you’re facing transition and unexpected change. Rely on Him to get you through uncertainty, and accept the peace He offers.

Traveling has become so much easier with the invention of the GPS. In the past, we had to rely on maps or when all else failed, stopped for directions. In most cases, the GPS provides step-by-step instructions to ensure that you don’t get lost.
Recently, I was traveling a familiar road and decided not to listen to the voice coming out of my GPS, because I thought I knew a better route. While eventually I arrived to the correct location, it ended up taking much longer than the route the GPS recommended. I ended up getting stuck in traffic that I could have avoided.
We often do the same thing in our Christian walk. God has provided us with a life GPS, the Bible. It has clear instructions/directions for every part of our life. God even gave each of us the Holy Spirit to remind and nudge us when our lives begin to get off track.
Yet, just like me during my recent trip, we often we feel like we know better than the GPS (Bible) and decide to follow our own route. The Bible instructs us to turn right and we turn left. We continuously ignore that little voice that keeps telling us to make a u-turn. And what happens?
We find ourselves wondering how our lives got turned upside down. Stuck in bad situations. And yes, God can get us back on track just like the GPS did in my car. But first we must give Him control and follow Him.
“Keep steady my steps according to your promise, and let no iniquity get dominion over me.” Psalm 119:133
So be encouraged. Sometimes it may take longer than it should have, but you can get back on track and become everything God called you to be.

Have you ever noticed the role that imitation plays in our lives? Children often imitate super heroes, athletes, musicians, and celebrities. From dressing like them to mimicking their actions.
Children are very impressionable and it is important that they have good role models. In most cases, children look to their parents or close family members for an example of who they are and who they are supposed to be.
As a father, I want to be a Godly example for my children. In today’s world, it isn’t always an easy endeavor. Parents and families need a lot of love and support as they aim to live like Christ. We need to consistently pray and ask for God’s help. As Christians, we should strive to model Christ by learning His Word, looking at His life in the Bible, and then imitating it in our own lives.
“Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children. And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.” Ephesians 5:1-2
I urge you today to look at your life and see if you are imitating Christ. If not, I encourage you to submit to Him and strive towards living your life consistently as a disciple.

Life can be difficult at times. Some days we feel tired, exhausted, and struggle with defeat. Through these times, we may feel as if we have been left on our own.
However, we have the promise of never being alone. God is our ever-present companion. He guides and protects us, but often we may be unaware of Him.
Many times we try to go through life’s circumstances by ourselves, instead of reaching out to God for His help. Our lives become so busy that often we don’t make time for a daily conversation with our Savior.
God wants to be part of every aspect of our lives. He is looking to connect with us in prayer, so that He can unleash His power through us. It is a power to overcome any trial, any difficulty, and any challenge.
In Matthew 7:7-8, Jesus says: “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened.”
Jesus offers the invitation of prayer to everyone. He invites us to receive His light for our daily journey. I encourage you to take all of your burdens to Him. Take a few moments every day to share the desires of your heart and accept His redemption, guidance, forgiveness, and peace.
