How Chris Stigall Found His Voice, Reclaimed His Faith
Veteran broadcaster Chris Stigall is taking his brand of honest truth-telling and unwavering faith nationwide. On January 13, 2025, “The Chris Stigall Show” will be syndicated across the country by Salem Media Group, offering an upgraded platform to a radio host who doesn’t shy away from sharing his Christian values.
With Salem radio host Dr. Sebastian Gorka departing his post to join the White House as President-elect Donald J. Trump’s incoming Deputy Assistant to the President and Senior Director for Counterterrorism, Hugh Hewitt will now host the afternoon hour, while Stigall will take over Hewitt’s former morning hour. This move marks a significant step for Stigall, who has found both professional success and personal fulfillment by embracing his faith on air.
Today, Stigall is a beacon of faith and truth in the media landscape. However, this wasn’t always the case for the man behind the microphone.
The Coming King Foundation: Celebrating 20 Years of Artistic Evangelism
Inspired by a profound spiritual vision, artist Max Greiner, Jr. founded the Coming King Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to creating unique spaces for spiritual reflection and evangelism, twenty years ago. The foundation’s flagship project, the Sculpture Prayer Garden in Kerrville, Texas, is a serene outdoor sanctuary featuring biblical sculptures integrated into natural landscapes. Greiner established the garden as an evangelistic experience, taking visitors on a Gospel journey of faith and discovery.
“God made me an artist,” Greiner said. “Artists don’t really make themselves.”
To date, Greiner’s artwork has been displayed in all 50 states and approximately 85 countries. His renowned Divine Servant sculpture, a life-size bronze depiction of Jesus washing the disciple Peter’s feet, was housed at the former NRB headquarters in Manassas, Va., for many years as a gift from Pat Robertson and CBN. His sculptures, paintings, and architectural installations have been featured in churches, seminaries, and galleries worldwide. His work has been recognized by notable individuals, including Billy Graham, Franklin Graham, Pope John Paul II, and prominent political figures like President George W. Bush as well as Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas).
