Something surprising is happening in America.
And the mainstream media barely mentions it.
Millions of Americans are quietly turning away from traditional news…
and turning toward Christian media.
Why?
Because they’re looking for something they can’t find anywhere else.
Truth. Hope. And answers.
That’s why our latest episode of The Huey Alert Podcast is so important.
Our guest is Troy Miller, president of the National Religious Broadcasters.
His organization represents thousands of Christian communicators—from radio hosts and filmmakers to podcasters, YouTubers, and publishers.
What he revealed during our conversation was eye-opening:
The 60% Media Shock
According to new research discussed in the podcast…
More than 60% of Americans now tune into Christian media.
That’s astonishing.
Especially when you compare it with trust in mainstream media which barely reaches the 20% range.
Why the difference?
Because people are hungry for something deeper than the political shouting matches dominating the media today.
They want:
- Meaning
- Purpose
- Biblical Truth
- Real hope for the future
Christian media is filling that gap.
The Hidden Battle for Christian Voices
But there’s another side to the story.
Christian voices are being censored or marginalized online.
During the podcast, Troy explains how many digital platforms operate under secret “community standards.”
Those standards can be used to:
- suppress Christian viewpoints
- manipulate algorithms
- reduce visibility of faith-based content
I shared an example during the interview.
A voter guide we produced suddenly lost 85% of its traffic from Google after algorithm changes.
Coincidence?
Or censorship?
That’s one of the questions Christian communicators are asking.
Why Christian Media Matters More Than Ever
There’s another reason Christian media is growing rapidly.
Christians are rediscovering their role in the public square.
For years many believers were told:
“Faith should stay inside the church.”
But as Troy explains in the podcast…
Politics is simply the process of making decisions about how a nation is governed.
If Christians withdraw from that process, others will fill the vacuum.
Christian media is helping believers understand:
• their rights
• their responsibilities
• and their influence
Especially with the 2026 elections approaching.
The Biggest Threat to Christian Influence
You might assume the biggest threat is government.
Or Big Tech.
Or cancel culture.
But Troy says the biggest threat is something else entirely.
Apathy inside the church.
When Christians stay silent…
When pastors avoid difficult issues…
When believers withdraw from culture…
The influence of faith shrinks.
But when Christians engage with courage and truth, everything changes.
This conversation with Troy Miller is one of the most surprising and insightful podcast episodes we’ve done.
You’ll hear insights about:
• censorship
• Christian media influence
• the future of faith in America
• and the responsibility believers have today.
And Shelly closes the episode with a powerful prayer for revival.
Don’t miss it.
