Faith, Freedom & Media: Troy Miller on NRB’s Fight to Protect Christian Voice

Why Christian Media Matters More Than Ever: A Powerful Conversation with Troy Miller on Good News

Episode 30 of Good News on GoodVue wasn’t just another broadcast—it was a call to awaken the Church, a reminder of our responsibility as Christian communicators, and a bold defense of the Gospel in the public square.

In this impactful episode, hosts Duke White Jr. and Dr. Lee Kanter sat down with Troy Miller, President and CEO of the National Religious Broadcasters (NRB), for an eye-opening conversation about freedom, censorship, faith, and the future of Christian media.

A Legacy of Boldness: The Birth of NRB

Troy opened by taking us back 81 years, to the birth of NRB at a time when radio was just emerging as a powerful medium. While it created exciting new opportunities to reach the masses, it also came with heavy restrictions. Only certain preachers were allowed airtime, and gatekeepers tried to dictate what could and couldn’t be said.

It was then that a group of bold, Bible-believing pastors met at Moody Church in Chicago and said, “Enough.”

They formed NRB to protect the rights of Christian communicators to speak freely in public spaces. Their mission then is the same as it is now:

Defend freedom of speech.
Stand up to gatekeepers in government, media, and tech.
Keep Christian voices from being silenced.

The Battle for the Dashboard: Why Your Car is the Next Frontline

One of the most unexpected but crucial issues NRB is fighting today is the removal of AM radio from new vehicles.

AM radio remains a lifeline for rural America, and the second most-listened-to genre on AM is Christian talk and teaching.

According to Troy, this isn’t about technology—it’s about control.

Automakers are moving toward “connected dashboards,” where all content comes through paid subscriptions and cellular data.
Removing AM radio would allow these companies to control which apps, voices, and messages can reach drivers.

Imagine a world where Christian radio is no longer freely available in your car—not because it’s outdated, but because someone decided it shouldn’t be there.

That’s why NRB is on Capitol Hill fighting for Christian media—and for your ability to hear the Gospel on every platform.

The Gatekeepers Are Back—And They’ve Gone Digital

Duke and Lee both resonated with Troy’s example of how Christian content is censored today on platforms like YouTube and social media.

From firsthand experience, they’ve seen how stating biblical truths like:

• “Life is precious.”
• “Marriage is between a man and a woman.”
• “There are only two sexes.”
  …can get you flagged, banned, or completely de-platformed.

Troy put it plainly:

“If you don’t think there’s censorship, just post a video with those statements and see how long it stays up.”

This kind of digital gatekeeping is why NRB’s mission is more important than ever. They’ve built case timelines and legal resources to help ministries understand their rights and push back when platforms silence the Gospel.

Israel, the Church, and the Call to Stand for Truth

A major theme of the episode was the importance of standing with Israel, especially in the wake of Hamas’s horrific attacks on October 7th.

Troy, Duke, and Lee didn’t hold back in addressing the spiritual warfare behind anti-Israel sentiment.

“To go against Israel is to go against the promises of God,” Troy said.

They also tackled media hypocrisy—how Hamas’s barbaric acts have been reframed to paint Israel as the oppressor, despite overwhelming evidence of premeditated attacks on civilians, including children.

What stood out most was their compassion for everyone affected—Jewish families, Palestinian civilians suffering under Hamas’s rule, and even the Arab Muslim population living peacefully inside Israel.

As Troy said:

“We want the Gospel to go to everyone. Arab, Jew, Palestinian, atheist, Hindu—everyone deserves to hear the truth.”

Is This Political or Spiritual? Yes.

When asked whether these issues were “too political” for Christian media to address, Troy responded with passion:

“Politics is about governance. Whose worldview is going to be applied to society? Someone’s will. So don’t be fooled into thinking you can stay ‘neutral.’ If you stay silent, you’re just allowing someone else’s values to win.”

It was a powerful wake-up call to the Church.

Whether the issue is censorship, foreign policy, abortion, gender, or religious liberty—Christians have a duty to speak up, not as political activists, but as ambassadors of truth.

The Heart of NRB: Not Nationalism, but Global Mission

Duke and Lee addressed recent criticism accusing NRB of “Christian nationalism.”

Troy’s response was clear:

“We’re not Christian nationalists—we’re Christian globalists.”

NRB isn’t about one country or one political party. It’s about taking the Gospel into all the world, loving people enough to fight for their right to hear the truth—and standing against systems that oppress freedom and truth.

Whether through radio, TV, streaming, or podcasts—Christian media must be free to share the Gospel without compromise.

Final Thoughts: Why This Episode Matters

GoodVue’s mission to amplify truth, unify believers, and defend freedom was front and center in this conversation.

With Troy Miller’s insights, the message was clear:

• The war for truth is real.
• The battlefield is media, education, technology, and policy.
• We must not be silent.

Whether you’re a pastor, a podcaster, a parent, or a student—you have a role to play. Share truth. Speak boldly. Support platforms that refuse to compromise.

Because when the world is loud with lies, we need the Good News louder than ever.
