Troy A. Miller, NRB president & CEO, spoke with Lee Kanter of GoodVue Network about the “crisis of discipleship” as Gen Z become the most churched generation.
“We do have a real discipleship crisis in our country right now,” Miller said. “It’s really going to be up to us as Christian communicators and pastors across the country to step up, realize that this group is coming back to the church, and then actively and intentionally disciple them, because it’s also one of the most confused groups out there with all the information they are getting.”
Miller touched on recent data from the NRB’s Barna Group study on the state of Christian media, pointing to the need for Biblical literacy and accessible discipleship.
“As Christians, we need to flood … the digital avenue with our content, because the enemy is flooding them with his content,” Miller said, pointing out that Gen Z is looking for “more straightforward and truthful” content.

On RAV’s “Sunday the Road Forward,” Miller spoke with Tim Clinton about the resurgence of faith among Gen Z, government weaponization against Christians, the legal fight over the Johnson Amendment, and the need for biblical discipleship.
“Especially amongst Gen Z, faith is taking a leading role,” Miller said. “We fight in the halls of government today and in the court systems, but we also have a big battle in corporate America and amongst the mainstream media.”
Looking to the future, Miller referenced NRB’s 2025 Barna Group study showing that audiences are desperately seeking hope, biblical knowledge, and meaningful relationships.
“Bible literacy, discipleship … if we’re going to bring our country back, that has to be a top priority of pulpits across this country,” Miller said.

Michael Farris, NRB general counsel, spoke with Todd Starnes about NRB’s request for the FCC to investigate Jimmy Kimmel’s remarks as an incitement to violence.
“We have defended Jimmy Kimmel’s First Amendment rights in the past,” Farris said, referring to Kimmel’s previous encounter with the FCC. “The reason we said something on this particular occasion was because violence was involved. … And free speech has a recognized barrier when it comes to the advocacy of violence, particularly against elected officials and especially against the President of the United States.”
NRB has filed a request for the FCC to investigate the intentions of Kimmel’s recent remarks, pointing to the standard set in Brandenburg v. Ohio.
“We think that the advocacy of violence is something that we should make sure is not broadcasted over our airways,” Farris said.

Farris also joined Jeff Stein on News/Talk 1540 KXEL to discuss the legal framework for speech that incites violence.
“The incitement to violence has never been viewed as constitutionally protected speech,” Farris said. “We’ve reached a point in our society in which about 30% of Americans say it’s okay to use violence to accomplish a political objective.”
“Violence is the line of demarcation,” Farris continued. “Disagree with me all you want … that’s absolute free reign, but the moment you say, ‘That person should be killed,’ you’ve crossed a line.”

Speaking with pastor Chuck Reich on OvercomersTV, Miller shared about the need for Christians to live out their faith and share the gospel through a rhetoric of love.
“You have to live it out. … If the lighthouse isn’t lit, you can guarantee the ship is going into the rocks. And we’re the Christians, we’re the lighthouse. We’re light in darkness,” Miller said. “And so, it’s imperative that we engage. … It has eternal consequences of us not engaging.”
Miller said that as “one of the last strongholds” of freedom of religion, America needs Christians to engage in active and peaceable rhetoric.
“The rhetoric in this country has to get toned down,” he said. “We’re talking about this on the left and the right. … And especially as Christians, … we’re to stir up love. We’re not to stir up a call for violence.”

Miller also shared about the NRB filing with FCC against Jimmy Kimmel and the status of the Johnson Amendment.
