The Media Leadership Dinner featured special guest speakers Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) and Tyler O’Neil, Managing Editor at The Daily Signal.

NRB Forum Highlights Progress, Potential of Historic Middle East Peace AgreementsAt the 2023 NRB International Christian Media Convention, NRB hosted a high-profile panel discussion on the progress and potential of the Abraham Accords. Abraham Accords Peace Institute (AAPI) president and executive director Robert Greenway led the discussion on how the agreements can promote religious tolerance, free trade, and American interests in the region. Greenway was joined by Ambassador John Rakolta Jr. (Ret.), former U.S. ambassador to the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and Ambassador David T. Fischer (Ret.), former U.S. ambassador to Morocco. Rakolta and Fischer represented the United States in the UAE and Morocco respectively during the development of the Abraham Accords agreements. Reclaiming the Truth about Gender at NRB ConventionGenesis 1:27—which reads in part, “Male and female He created them”—lays the essential foundation for marriage, family, and society, yet this belief has fallen out of favor as the culture rejects the claims of Scripture, asserting instead that biological sex is “assigned at birth” and that “gender identity” must be affirmed, even through body-altering hormone treatments and deforming surgeries. On Wednesday, May 24, Christian broadcasters, journalists, and media leaders discussed the dangers of denying biological reality, the negative consequences of gender ideology on individuals and society as a whole, and how the movement seeks to erode the traditional family, in an NRB Forum titled “Gender Confusion.” At NRB Convention, Midweek Worship Service Delivers Powerful Word of Encouragement and HopeMidweek at the NRB International Christian Media Convention, attendees set aside time to pause and hear the word of God together in a spirit of fellowship during Wednesday evening’s worship service, with a powerful word of encouragement from Dr. Mike Fabarez. The Wednesday night worship service at NRB Convention offers a unique opportunity for event-goers to break from their busy schedules and experience the power of community and connection with like-minded believers. Amidst the excitement of a global media conference, this gathering serves as a reminder that NRB is defined as a community of faith.
