NRB President & CEO Troy A. Miller Delivers Remarks at the MEDIAlliance International Media Leadership Summit 

This week, NRB President & CEO Troy A. Miller spoke to media industry leaders from across the globe at the annual MEDIAlliance International Media Leadership Summit hosted at Dallas Baptist University in Dallas, Texas. This gathering of key international Christian media professionals included remarks from nine featured speakers. On Monday evening, Miller encouraged summit attendees to press on amidst spiritual darkness and hostility to the Gospel. Miller also gave a glimpse into how NRB equips and encourages Christian communicators, broadcasters, and ministry leaders who serve in various countries worldwide.  

Since its establishment, MEDIAlliance has hosted conferences in India, Ukraine, Haiti, Egypt, Romania, and Thailand. Through the ministry, Dr. Ron Harris, founder of MEDIAlliance, and the MEDIAlliance team have made an immense international impact by training, assisting, connecting, consulting, and encouraging Christian broadcasters who are serving in countries that are hostile to the Gospel.

Newsom Misquotes Scripture on Pro-Abortion Billboards, MacArthur Responds

Governor Gavin Newsom of California has long attracted attention with his extreme, so-called “progressive” positions on social issues such as homelessness, crime, and abortion. Newsom has signed thirteen abortion-related bills into law, including such legislation as Assembly Bill 2223, which abolishes requirements that coroners investigate stillbirths, miscarriages, and abortions; Assembly Bill 1242, which prohibits California law enforcement from taking an individual into custody on an out-of-state warrant for providing abortion services; and Senate Bill 1245, which provided $20 million to the Los Angeles County “Abortion Access Safe Haven” program.

But last month, Newsom invoked Scripture to support his anti-life views, launching billboards praising abortion in California, Indiana, Mississippi, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, and Texas—called “anti-freedom” states by the California governor.

On Wednesday, September 28, John MacArthur, senior pastor of Grace Community Church in Sun Valley, California, whose teaching ministry Grace to You is a longtime NRB member, penned an open letter denouncing the “diabolical” impact of Newsom’s worldview.
