Last week, Troy A. Miller, president & CEO of the National Religious Broadcasters (NRB), penned an opinion piece for Fox Opinion, writing that evangelical Christian voters have the numbers to decide the 2024 election if they turn out on November 5. Miller joined several radio, podcast, and TV programs to discuss the piece.

On Saturday, October 12, Miller appeared in a “Fox & Friends” segment hosted by Rachel Campos-Duffy to discuss why evangelicals have not consistently turned out to vote in recent elections.
“It’s your God-given privilege and right to vote,” Miller said, addressing Christians. “If you want to see the direction of this country [and] know who’s going to set the policies…then vote. It’s not about a candidate’s personality, it’s about the governance of this country.”

Miller joined Chris Stigall on his show to discuss why Christian voters could make a difference in this election.
“Seventy million people sat out in the swing states in 2020,” Miller said. “If those people showed up to the polls, that would have entirely changed the election process.”

On “The Todd Starnes Show,” Miller discussed AM radio, the Johnson Amendment, and why some Christians have disengaged from politics over the last several years.
“I think Christians know where they stand and know where the two parties stand on the issues today,” Miller said. “The real problem is getting them motivated to get out and vote their values. They’ve been shamed into thinking that politics has no place in religion or vice versa, that people who are religious have no place in politics. And that is a lie.”

Miller spoke with Jim Schneider on the “Crosstalk Radio Talk Show” about the task of pastors to encourage church members to be involved in the political process.
“The role of the pastor is to disciple the congregation, disciple his flock to be able to figure out how to navigate this world,” Miller said. “And unfortunately, we’ve had too many pastors who have given up on doing that, because they’re more worried about being popular, not offending anybody.”

In the wake of hurricanes Helene and Milton, Miller spoke with Andrew Wilkow on his podcast about the vital role of local radio and Christian relief organizations during emergency crises.
“A lot of these radio stations are mom-and-pop owned,” Miller said. “They wanted to communicate the Gospel [and] help their communities. They’re not in this for the big dollars. Most of them are nonprofit organizations and noncommercial. So they’re really dedicated to what they do in the communities that they’re in. … They were the first responders.”

On “Become Famous” podcast with host Torund Bryhn, Miller discussed his personal journey of faith, politics, community, and media, and the issues NRB is focused on today.
“It’s a great time to be a communicator,” Miller said. “We’re in a place where innovation is so fast none of us can look down the road with any clarity to see what’s going on.”
“One of the things we’ve done at NRB,” Miller continued, “is we’ve helped our members understand what the technology trends are. … how to use this technology for the betterment of your ministry.”
