Pacific Justice Institute (PJI) has partnered with a global Christian media programming organization, NRBTV. This partnership marks the airing of PJI’s newest television program “Faith & Law.” NRBTV is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that airs Christ-centered media to a global audience. This media coalition will expand the mission of PJI and NRBTV, as both organizations are dedicated to reaching individuals of faith.

Brad Dacus, president of Pacific Justice Institute, stated, “We are thankful for our partnership with NRBTV and the milestone this partnership represents. We are excited to double the reach of Christian messaging. Since we provide all our legal services at no charge to our clients, we are very appreciative of and dependent on the support of our many friends. “Faith & Law” will connect with an audience that might be unaware of the availability of free legal assistance for those whose liberties are in jeopardy. ”

Through this partnership, a greater number of Americans will be inspired to stand firm in their convictions, and assistance will be extended to those who are unable to advocate for themselves. NRBTV can be watched on DIRECTV, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, and select broadcast affiliates. For more information about NRBTV visit www.nrbtv.org.

According to Pew Research, 70-75% of Christian youth leave the church after high school. College professors are five times more likely to identify themselves as atheists than the general public, and more than half say they view Christian students unfavorably (Free Republic). Author Frank Turek speaks to college and high school students across the country and has debated atheists such as Christopher Hitchens and Michael Shermer. Turek will be one of the speakers at the NRBTV apologetics conference on September 8-9 in Lebanon, Tennessee. He says the reason students lose their faith post-high school is not a mystery.

“Intellectual skepticism is a major reason cited by those who have left the faith,” says Turek. “We can lay the blame for much of this on ourselves — that is, on the church. While there are notable exceptions, most American churches over-emphasize emotion and ignore the biblical commands to develop the mind. In other words, we’re doing a great job performing for our youth with skits, bands and videos, but a terrible job informing them with logic, truth, and a Christian worldview.”

Turek says the college students he meets often have good sentimental feelings about their faith, but that is not a foundation that will last. He says his campus seminars were developed to prove that the Bible is true on an intellectual level.

“God does want us to love Him with all of our hearts,” says Turek. “But He also wants us to love Him with our minds. Christians don’t get Brownie points for being stupid. We’re supposed to know what we believe and why we believe it.”

The theme at this year’s conference is “Defending Truth in a Culture of Lies” and will also feature renowned cold-case homicide detective J. Warner Wallace; and podcast host, author, and apologist Alisa Childers. J. Warner Wallace’s investigative cases have been featured more than any other detective on NBC’s Dateline television series, and his work has also appeared on Fox News, Oxygen True Crime, the Reelz Channel, Investigation Discovery, TruTV, and CourtTV. Wallace says Generation Z is especially at risk of losing their faith.

“A Barna study of Gen Z Americans (ages 13-18) revealed that teens are more than twice as likely to believe ‘what is morally right and wrong changes over time based on society’ than Boomers (born between 1946-1964),” says Wallace. “The more powerful we think we are, the less likely we are to turn to a greater power. If we think we have all the answers, we’re less likely to turn to religion when we have a question. The information age has only exacerbated this reality. Almost anything we want to know, want to own, or want to do, is available online. Religions make moral proclamations that transcend individual belief and cultural consensus. They also make moral claims that require our submission. Unsurprisingly, as America shifts toward moral autonomy, fewer Americans rely on religious systems that make transcendent, unchanging, ethical claims and demands.”

The Defending Truth Conference will be held Friday, September 8 from 7pm to 9 pm, and Saturday, September 9 from 9 am to 4 pm at The Journey Church, 1240 Leeville Pike in Lebanon, TN. Food trucks will be on site for lunch on Saturday. For tickets to the September conference visit: www.nrbtv.org/dtc.

For Immediate Release (Nashville, TN) — NRBTV will hold its sixth apologetics conference on September 8 and 9 in Lebanon, Tennessee. This year’s theme is “Defending Truth in a Culture of Lies” and will feature several best-selling authors and apologists including Frank Turek; renowned cold-case homicide detective J. Warner Wallace; and podcast host and Dove Award-winning recording artist, Alisa Childers. Turek, who has debated famous atheists such as Christopher Hitchens and Michael Shermer, will speak on a topic that is argued on a regular basis: can morality be legislated?

“All laws legislate morality,” says Turek. “Morality is about right and wrong, and all laws declare one behavior right and the opposite behavior wrong. The question is not whether we can legislate morality, but whose morality will we legislate? The answer our Founding Fathers gave was the ‘self-evident’ morality given to us by our Creator. Our country justifies moral rights with theism but does not require its citizens to acknowledge or practice theism.”

J. Warner Wallace’s investigative cases have been featured more than any other detective on NBC’s Dateline television series, and his work has also appeared on Fox News, Oxygen True Crime, the Reelz Channel, Investigation Discovery, TruTV, and CourtTV. He was awarded the Police and Fire Medal of Valor “Sustained Superiority” Award for his continuing work on cold-case homicides, and the CopsWest Award after solving a 1979 murder. Wallace says his career as a detective actually led to his conversion to Christianity.

“I became interested in Jesus when I heard a pastor say Jesus was the smartest, most important man who ever lived,” says Wallace. “I wondered if that was true, so I bought a Bible. As I read the gospels, I recognized the attributes of eyewitness accounts, so I decided to test their reliability the same way I test the reliability of eyewitnesses in murder trials. When I finished my investigation I was convinced the gospels were describing something true. I’m not a Christian today because it ‘works’ for me, or because I was raised that way, or because I was trying to fix something broken in my life. I’m a Christian because it’s true, and my high regard for the truth leaves me no alternative.”

As a lifelong church-goer and former CCM recording artist with the group ZOEgirl, Alisa Childers experienced a period of profound doubt about her faith in my mid-30s. She began an intellectual pursuit of the faith, even taking seminary classes.

“I went through a period of time where I felt I had been tossed in a stormy ocean of uncertainty with no life jacket or lifeboat in sight,” says Childers. “I didn’t know where to find answers to my questions, or if answers existed at all. Did I have to accept it all on some kind of blind faith? This began my journey from unreasoned doubt into a vibrant, rational, and informed faith. Our culture is becoming more anxious and self-obsessed largely because it has rejected truth.”

Troy Miller, President and CEO of NRBTV, says the conference is necessary in a culture that is redefining so many long-held beliefs.

“Our society is confused and misled by a world that is searching for truth,” says Miller. “We need to help our youth, church leaders, and parents to be more confident in their faith to be able to defend it.”

The Defending Truth Conference will be held Friday, September 8 from 7pm to 9 pm, and Saturday, September 9 from 9 am to 4 pm at The Journey Church, 1240 Leeville Pike in Lebanon, TN. Food trucks will be on site for lunch on Saturday. For tickets to the September conference visit: www.nrbtv.org/dtc.

Why the Nativity?

In our culture today, it is common for people to forget the true meaning of Christmas—and its significance. The occasion has become less spiritual and more materialistic over the years, and many might not even fully know the original story of Christmas. But this celebration is much bigger than a secularized holiday. Christmas is about God’s plan of salvation, which He set in motion before time began.

In Why the Nativity?, Dr. David Jeremiah looks in detail at the people and events that surround the Christmas story and why each of them was chosen for their specific purpose. This year, celebrate this special season by revisiting the story of the first Christmas and join in worshiping Him for His great gift to us. Set a reminder and join us on Thursday, December 22 at 8 pm ET/ 7 pm CT and again Saturday, December 24 at 6 pm ET/ 5 pm CT for Why the Nativity?

The Census and The Star

Explore the mysterious circumstances of Christ's birth in this captivating look at the first Christmas. Joseph and Mary traveled to Bethlehem by order of the Emperor, Augustus Caesar. This census has long confounded historians seeking to reconcile the Bible with recorded history. The evidence to address that is both intriguing and insightful.

The mysteries continue when a star appears to announce the birth of the King of the Jews. What was the star? What did it look like? When did it appear? Foreign Magi, or Wise Men, saw the star and followed it to Jerusalem and Bethlehem seeking Jesus. These little-understood figures were among the first to discover Jesus in what was surely a life-changing, as well as history-making, event. Explore the star as the Magi did, following it to better understand Christmas. Trace what the Magi did as they gazed into the night sky those thousands of years ago. Find answers to these questions and more... What really happened on the first Christmas?

Tune in on Thursday, December 22 at 10 pm ET/ 9 pm CT and again on Saturday, December 24 at 5 pm ET/ 4 pm CT for The Census and The Star.

No Ordinary Shepherd

As the sun beams brightly on the hills surrounding Palestine, a young shepherd boy thoughtfully considers the significance of the day. The boy, crippled in a terrible accident, has always treasured his shepherd father's tale of that starlit night so many years before - a night filled with the wonder of angelic heralds and a tiny Bethlehem stable sheltering the chosen Messiah.

Now, years after that sacred event, tales of Jesus of Nazareth's miraculous birth touch the young boy's faith. When he meets the gentle stranger in the hills - a man strangely familiar to him - the faithful young shepherd encounters a miracle of his own.
