🛡️ Standing Firmly with Israel
Speaking before an audience of faith and media leaders, Miller declared that NRB stands firmly with Israel, pledging that Christian communicators will “stand in front of you and never walk away from this fight.”
The National Religious Broadcasters, founded more than eight decades ago, works to advance biblical truth, protect freedom of speech and religion, and strengthen Christian media worldwide.
🌐 The Golden Age of Communications
Miller described the modern era as a “golden age of communications,” in which technology has given individuals unprecedented power to influence the world.
Despite record connectivity, Miller warned that society faces “a famine of truth.” He emphasized the critical need for Christian communicators to fill the digital landscape with accurate, truthful content.
📱 Engaging the Next Generation
Miller urged Christian communicators to engage the next generation through the platforms they use most—TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram—calling for animated maps, infographics, and short videos that explain the biblical and moral foundations of Judeo-Christian values.
📊 Christian Media: A Trusted Voice
Citing recent data showing that two-thirds of Americans consider Christian media trustworthy, Miller emphasized that this credibility carries great responsibility.
Miller’s Call to Action for Christian Communicators:
- Fight misinformation with pens, keyboards, cameras, and phones
- Utilize every available platform to spread truth
- Create engaging content for digital platforms (TikTok, YouTube, Instagram)
- Produce animated maps and infographics explaining biblical foundations
- Combat antisemitism and anti-Zionism in the digital space
- Maintain the trust placed in Christian media by the public
He compared the fight against misinformation to the determination of the Israel Defense Forces in Gaza: “We must fight with pens, keyboards, cameras, and phones, with every platform available to us.”
🌳 The Spiritual Bond Between Christians and Jews
Miller emphasized the profound spiritual connection between Christians and Jews, calling Israel “the root of the tree into which we Gentiles were grafted.”
He urged both communities to defend one another against persecution and antisemitism “wherever it surfaces—on campus, online, or within our own movements.”
⚠️ Attacking Israel is Attacking Civilization’s Foundation
Miller declared that attacks on Israel represent attacks on “the moral architecture that undergirds civilization itself,” emphasizing the critical importance of defending Israel’s right to exist and thrive.
