Troy A. Miller, NRB president & CEO, joined Stacy Washington on her show to discuss the reach of Christian broadcasting, the upsurge of Christian values in Gen Z, and the threat to freedom of religion in the Johnson Amendment.
“[Gen Zers] are really looking for that traditional American experience,” Miller said. “It’s already affecting their lives, we’re already seeing attitudes that are counter to the culture appearing … marriage, gender, sexuality, all of these things that we would hold in our Christian worldview; we’re seeing them played out in this generation.”
Miller also discussed NRB’s appeal of the Johnson Amendment case: “[Pastors] don’t lose their rights just because they are a 501(c)(3). The state should not control the conscience of a pastor, … and so this would restore once again the rights that pastors had at the founding of this country.”

Miller spoke with Cara Castronuova on LindellTV about America’s Christian heritage, revival, and responsibilities, including the Iran War, Christian persecution, free speech, the needs of veterans, the strength of Christian media, and more.
“We need to call our country back a point where we can have our difference,” Miller said, “but at the end of the day, we should do that through debate, through dialogue, through opinion writing, and ultimately through the polls of who we elect to govern the country.”
Miller shared sobering statistics of mass executions in Iran, defending American intervention.
“It is the United States’ business because you have not only a regime that treats its people the way it treats them, but you have a regime that has threated the United States on multiple fronts,” Miller said.
He also challenged the church to increase its support for veterans: “Veterans right now are one of the most at-risk demographics in our country,” Miller said, pointing to high addiction, depression, divorce, and suicide rates. Resources to support veterans can be found through NRB’s Veterans Ministry Initiative.

Miller also joined Bianca de la Garza on Newsmax to discuss the proposed amendment to India’s Foreign Contribution Regulation Act which would enable India’s government to seize an organization’s assets, including donations and supplies from American partners.
“This idea that the government can come in and find something wrong or inappropriate with your ministry and then confiscate all of your capital property has put a real chill on ministry advancement right now in India,” Miller said.

Miller discussed the emergence of “Christless conservatism” and the need to rededicate America to God spoke with Matthew Alvarez at Right Side Broadcasting Network.
“[Christless conservatism] bases its understanding on the Bible, but it doesn’t really follow the Bible,” Miller said. “It doesn’t have the compassion that we have when we have Christ. So, I’m really concerned about where that’s heading on the right, because without Christ and without a real change in people’s hearts, then you get this Christless conservatism, which leads to far-right fascism.”
Looking to “Rededicate 250,” Miller said he is thankful for the President’s recognition of the religious roots of America: “Those roots of the American dream are roots that our Creator is the one who gives us: faith, freedom, and liberty.”

Miller also spoke with Greg Seltz on WAVA’s “The Drive Home” about the role biblical literacy in counteracting “Christless conservativism.”
“Biblical literacy is the foundation of our country. It is where our founding fathers got the principles that put the Declaration of Independence together, the Constitution together, and gave us the Bill of Rights,” Miller said. “The real problem is not just a peripheral church problem; it’s a civilization crisis. But it starts in the pulpit because the pulpits across this country really have to make Bible study — not just bible reading — a priority for their congregations across the country.”

In light of NRB’s recent complaint before the FCC, Miller spoke with Perry Atkinson on theDove TV about the abuse of free speech, the need for biblical literacy, and the foundation of rights.
“The Constitution isn’t just a blank slate,” Miller said. “If your speech calls for direct violence against a person or incites action … that’s crossed the line. … What we’ve asked [the FCC] to do is … to apply the Supreme Court’s litmus test.”
Miller connected the country’s current polarization and hostility to a broader decline in ethical grounding and biblical literacy:
“This irreligious society… is, I think, coming apart at the seams. And the only way we’re going to pull it back together is to get back and actually understand what we believe and live it out.”
Despite this, he shared optimism about younger demographics seeking truth over cultural trends: “[E]specially amongst the Gen Zers. … They’re looking for structure and they’re looking for meaning in their faith and not just … a social club.”

Miller joined Jerry Newcombe on Providence Forum’s “Vocal Point” to discuss America’s exceptional First Amendment and the impact of radio evangelism.
“Most countries are controlling and even criminalizing speech today,” Miller said. “Our Founding Fathers understood that these were not rights granted by the government but fundamental rights that we are granted as humanity by our Creator.”
Miller provided examples of attacks on free speech across the glove, including England’s hate speech laws, Canada’s prior restraint, and India’s anti-evangelism laws. In contrast, open debate and dialogue is “what makes our country healthy,” Miller said.
In the realm of radio access, “there’s a real battle there about who controls access to the information,” Miller said. “We’re fighting that the consumer should have free access to the airways to make their own choices.”

Miller also spoke with Jenny Burkhiser on Franklin Family Radio’s Community Bridge about the international reach of Christian media, the relevance of Christian broadcasting in 2026, the Johnson Amendment, the foundation of family, and the persecution of Christians in Nigeria.
“Christian media often reaches people right where they are at and at the moment they need to be reached,” Miller said. “And I don’t think you can replace that with anything.”
He discussed encouraging data from Barna and Pew, showing that a quarter of AM/FM radio stations are Chrisitan while 4 in 10 of those listening to Christian radio are “nones” — atheists or agnostics. He points to Christian media’s gift of encouragement and relationship as satisfying a hunger in a culture of despair and isolation.
“Our society will be a better society the stronger families we have,” Miller said. “We’ve kind of called on Christian communicators and pastors across the country to carry this message to their congregations.”
