Podcasts about NRB

Christina Hello, everyone, I'm Christina Darnell, the managing editor of MinistryWatch. Welcome to the MinistryWatch podcast. In today's extra episode, I talk with Warren Smith about some news items that are slightly (even significantly) outside of our normal charity and philanthropy “beat.” So, Warren, what's up first? Warren  The National Religious Broadcasters (NRB) has formally asked the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to investigate comments aired by Jimmy Kimmel during the April 23, 2026, broadcast of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” Kimmel's comments were, as a lot of his comments are, thoroughly tasteless. But if they are not protected speech, clearly covered by the First Amendment, then we are all in trouble. Christina And you think it is particularly ironic that the NRB is filing this complaint. Warren I do, because the NRB claims to be a champion of free speech.  The organization claims to be a “nonpartisan, international association of Christian communicators” whose mission is to “protect the free speech rights of our members to speak Biblical truth by advocating those rights in governmental, corporate, and media sectors.” But in recent years, some of its largest members, and the organization itself, has been little more than an unpaid public relations arm for the Republican Party. Christina There was also news this week about a little-known arena of pro-life work: embryo adoption, sometimes called “snowflake adoption.” Warren The National Embryo Donation Center (NEDC) just announced the addition of two new affiliate clinics, bringing its embryo adoption and donation services closer to families across the country. Dr. Craig Sweet of Embryo Donation International, will serve as the NEDC's affiliate physician in Fort Myers, Florida, and Dr. Valerie Shavell & her physician partners of The Fertility Center will serve in Grand Rapids, Michigan, with each performing frozen embryo transfers for NEDC patients in their respective regions. Christina Embryo adoption is often described as a “life-affirming” option because it gives embryos a chance to be born rather than destroyed. Embryos have been donated from all 50 states. Warren Recipients have traveled from across the United States, U.S. territories, and about a dozen foreign countries, including as far away as China, to participate in the program. The NEDC's website is www.embryodonation.org. Christina We have another abortion related story this week. Warren In the years since Roe was overturned, the number of abortions has grown to record levels, with two-thirds of them being chemical abortions. Christina The recent Supreme Court decision restoring abortion pill access via telehealth is another huge blow to the pro-life movement, erasing any gains made by the overturning of Roe. Warren This seems a good moment to state what should be obvious, and that is that we will not eliminate abortion by passing laws. We will eliminate abortions when we change the hearts and minds of Americans about abortion. That means persuading people who disagree with us, not beating them into submission to achieve political goals that do not make a difference. Beating people up makes them less likely, not more likely, to listen to you. Thus endeth the lesson. Christina Southern Baptists released new membership data this week. Warren Southern Baptist churches saw sustained growth in attendance and baptisms, but the two-decade membership decline continued in 2025, according to a statement from the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC). Total SBC membership fell by more than 3 percent from 2024 to 2025, dipping to 12,331,954, according to the Annual Church Profile (ACP) compiled by Lifeway Research in cooperation with Baptist state conventions. Christina Fewer members belong to Southern Baptist congregations, but more people are attending worship services and small groups and are being baptized. That seems contradictory. Warren It does. These seemingly contradictory data probably reflect efforts by the SBC in recent years to clean up their roles. They were listing people as members who were, in some cases, dead or who had long since joined other churches. There's also probably a bit of generational difference in attitudes relative to church membership and attendance. Older generations are more likely to be members but not attend. Younger generations are more likely to attend for longer periods before becoming members. Christina On average, nearly 4.5 million people attend a Southern Baptist church each week, while more than 2.6 million participate in a small group Bible study or Sunday School class—both up more than 3% compared to 2024 and up for the fourth consecutive year. Warren Meanwhile, the number of baptisms increased by nearly 5 percent to well over a quarter of a million, marking five consecutive years of growth and surpassing pre-COVID levels. Christina Any final thoughts before you go? Warren It was great to visit with readers and donors in Los Angeles and Jacksonville recently. I will be speaking at the annual convention of the Evangelical Press Association in Nashville next week, and I will be holding a reader lunch in Franklin. For precise location, send me an email at wsmith@ministrywatch.com. I will also be in Dallas and Knoxville later in May. I will be speaking at Summit Ministries in Manitou Springs in June, so I will be doing reader lunches in Denver and Colorado Springs during that trip. Let me know if you would like to join us. My email is wsmith@ministrywatch.com. Christina That brings to a close this EXTRA episode of the podcast. The producer for today's program is Jeff McIntosh. I'm Christina Darnell, along with Warren Smith. Until next time, may God bless you.

CannCon and Zak Paine open the week with a deep, wide-ranging breakdown of the White House Correspondents' Dinner assassination attempt. Cole Allen, a California teacher with ties to far-left groups No Kings and The Wide Awakes, rushed a magnetometer at the Washington Hilton with a pistol and shotgun and fired before being stopped by Secret Service. The guys go through his full manifesto, which reads as part dog whistle and part reconnaissance report, noting his postscript mocking the complete absence of security and how nobody considered someone checking in the night before. Multiple attendees including Carrie Lake and NRB director Bethany Miller confirm no bag checks, no ID verification, and essentially no screening to enter the hotel. CannCon and Zak also flag Allen's 2014 internship at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, which puts him in the same building as several recently deceased scientists. A mysterious Twitter account posted only the name "Cole Allen" in December 2023, and the account's banner appears to contain an image predictive of the Butler shooting. Trump's cool-as-a-cucumber response and his sharp 60 Minutes rebuke round out the coverage.

A ring pulled from the ground at Mount Gerizim. Hebrew letters. God's name. Dating to the first century BC — before the Romans renamed this land, before the modern narratives, before the academic boycott that is right now trying to erase what the dirt keeps proving.Laurie Cardoza-Moore sits down at NRB 2026 with Itay Granak, CEO of the Israeli Government Heritage Office, and Eyal Freiman, Head of Archeology in Judea and Samaria. They are excavating Hasmonean fortresses, the ancient palaces of Samaria, the site of Tel Ziph where David and Jonathan met — and they are opening 150 biblical heritage sites in Judea and Samaria to the public before that history is buried not by time, but by ideology.Meanwhile, 3,000 people a day come to the October 7 memorial at Sderot. The world is already starting to forget. This episode is a reminder: the evidence is in the ground. The Hebrew is the same Hebrew spoken today.

CHRISTINA Hello, everyone, I'm Christina Darnell, the managing editor of MinistryWatch, and today we're inaugurating a new feature here on the MinistryWatch podcast. Here's Warren Smith, the President of MinistryWatch, to explain. WARREN That's right, Christina. For the past couple of years, I've been writing a column called “Signs and Wonders.” “Signs and Wonders” is a column that shares thoughts on news items that either do not rise to the level of a news story for MinistryWatch or are slightly (even significantly) outside of our normal charity and philanthropy “beat.” My goal with the column was to be punchy, opinionated, and not to worry much about being slightly off brand. CHRISTINA And that approach has worked. Your “Signs and Wonders” column is often among our top ten stories of the week. WARREN So, after talking with you about that, we decided to do this audio version of the column. We won't be posting this on the website. After all, the “Signs and Wonders” column itself is already there, but we will be dropping this into the podcast feed each week, and we hope you enjoy it. CHRISTINA So what's up first? WARREN This week, the National Religious Broadcasters became the Pro-War Religious Broadcasters. It is not clear to me why the National Religious Broadcasters felt a need to issue a statement in support of Trump’s War this morning, but it did. I will not reprint it here. You can find it online if you are so inclined. CHRISTINA But it appears that the NRB might have outkicked its coverage, as they say in football. WARREN That's right. The Associated Press reports this week that even among the president's hardcore media supporters there is division. It will be interesting to see of MAGA media faithful remain…well…faithful. As up Wednesday, the American death toll is up to six people. The total death toll has topped 800. CHRISTINA We don't cover a lot of international news here at MinistryWatch, but you wanted to highlight the worsening situation in Nigeria. WARREN The situation in Nigeria is not getting as much attention in the U.S. as it deserves. Islamic radicals are trying to impose Sharia law to a large swath of the country, and local residents are resisting. What is happening in Nigeria could erupt into a larger conflict. CHRISTINA Nigeria has more than 230 million people, with Christians making up 40% of the population. WARREN If what is happening in Nigeria explodes into a full-blown religious war, the consequences could be devastating. More than a dozen Christian ministries, including Cru, Samaritan's Purse, Compassion International, World Vision, and SIM International have a presence in the country. CHRISTINA Closer to home, you've turned your attention to Christian romance novels. WARREN I was interested in and mildly frustrated by an article in Christianity Today about Christian romance writer Jeannette Oke. The 91-year-old author has sold more than 30 million copies of her soapy, sentimental books. CHRISTINA Several of them have been turned into Hallmark movies. WARREN I was interested because the story was well-written and fact filled. I was frustrated because the story failed to note that the romance genre has killed serious fiction in this country. Some reports say romance novels account for 30 percent of adult fiction sales. Maybe I'm just getting old and crotchety, but — in my view — “Christian Romance Novel” is an oxymoron. The sentimentality of a “romance novel” are in active war against the realism of true Christian fiction. Can you imagine a Christian publisher today bringing out Flannery O'Connor or Wendell Berry or Walker Percy? CHRISTINA Warren, let's pivot and talk about a controversy involving the beloved Minneapolis preacher and ministry leader John Piper. WARREN He stirred social media last week by tweeting a Bible verse. That Bible verse is Leviticus 19:34. “You shall treat the stranger who sojourns with you as the native among you, and you shall love him as yourself, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.” CHRISTINA But what seemed to generate the controversy was a one line comment he added. WARREN He then added this comment: “Christians know the miserable bondage we were all in.” CHRISTINA The post has (so far) gotten 1.9 million views and about 2000 comments. So why do you think the tweet got so much attention? WARREN The tweet is controversial because our current immigration policy is polarizing. Some of Piper's critics have included Calvary Chapel Chino Hills pastor Jack Hibbs and James Lasher of Charisma Magazine. One of my more perceptive readers, Salvatore Luiso, emailed me that it was “sadly ironic” that Piper is being criticized for taking a Bible verse out of context by people in the charismatic movement who engage in “absurd interpretations of Bible verses taken out of context.” He has a point. CHRISTINA Speaking of the charismatic movement, Paula White-Cain is at it again. WARREN At a conference in Florida called the Unleashed Conference, covered by Christian Leader, she urged attendees last week to give a “sacrificial seed…out of obedience to God, and she tied their giving to spiritual breakthroughs.” CHRISTINA The 2026 Unleashed Conference took place in late February, and featured speakers including former Kansas Governor Sam Brownback and Anglican priest Calvin Robinson. WARREN In other words, people who should have known better than to associate with Paula White-Cain, who was investigated by Sen. Charles Grassley a dozen years ago. CHRISTINA Can you give us a taste of what she said? WARREN Yes, here is a taste of White's message: “How many of you want to be a blessing?” she asked. “Because I'm telling you, there's an anointing of release right now. I want $100,000 to come in. I want $100,000. There are ten people that could give $10,000. There's a hundred people that could give $1,000. Get a check, make it payable to Paula White Ministries,” said White-Cain. “If you say, ‘I don't have it,' give a $100. Bring up a sacrificial seed.” To which I can only add: Stay as far away as possible from this charlatan's theology. CHRISTINA Warren, I've noticed in your social media feeds you often remember fallen military heroes. And this week you are remembering John Chapman. Who was he? WARREN John Chapman died in combat on this date in 2002. He was the first Airman awarded the Medal of Honor since the Vietnam War. If you don't know about him, check out this article. I highly recommend taking some time with it. It is the powerful story of a true American hero. And, I might add, the battle which cost him his life and for which he got the Medal of Honor, was captured on video by a drone that was flying over the battle to provide support. The video can be found on social media and it is done tastefully. It's not graphic. And I recommend finding it and getting a more immersive understanding of this hero's story. I should add that Chapman was a husband, father, and a committed Christian as well. CHRISTINA Any closing thoughts? WARREN I have some travel coming up in the next couple of months, and I would love to see you. I will be in Los Angeles in April and Dallas in May. I will be doing reader lunches in both cities. Let me know if you would like to join us. My email is wsmith@ministrywatch.com. CHRISTINA The producer for today's program is Jeff McIntosh. I'm Christina Darnell, with my co-host Warren Smith. Until next time, may God bless you.

Hey, it's Dave Jackson! In this episode, Ishare my talk that I did at the National Religious Broadcasters (NRB) about video podcasting. What are the real benefits, the costs, and the drawbacks? I also tackled the recent Apple announcement about HLS video, shared my NRB event experience, and got into some real stats and stories about YouTube and podcasting.This episode uses chapters to enable you to jump to the most important parts for you.Key Topics Covered:The difference between a podcast and a YouTube showStats on how many podcasters are actually doing "real" videoYouTube's change to how Shorts views are countedPros and cons of YouTube for discovery and monetizationCost breakdowns of starting both audio and video podcastsCompletion percentages for audio vs video showsAlgorithm reality and how audience recommendations workMajor drawbacks of relying on video platforms for incomeThe new Apple HLS video announcement: what it means, who it's for, and whether you should careReal examples of creators' experiences on YouTubeMy Takeaways:You don't have to do video if you don't want to. Video can help with discovery, but the audio side offers significantly more opportunity—sometimes a 15x larger audience! Also, while YouTube provides community and powerful analytics, the algorithm and monetization risks are real.

How do you bring talented industry leaders in radio and podcasting, video and film production, and new technologies, including AI, together for the sake of one mission? Troy A. Miller, CEO and President of NRB, joins us to explain how his team at NRB did it! He also shares some key leadership skills, insights from his background in tech and the military, and other 'gems.'

Recorded live at the National Religious Broadcasters Convention in Nashville, Pastor Doug Reed and Rabbi Pesach Wolicki are joined by Rabbi Elie Mischel from the Israel365 studio for a powerful conversation about one of the Bible's oldest and most transformative ideas: Shabbat. As Israel365 creates an immersive Shabbat experience for Christian leaders at NRB, the discussion explores why the Sabbath has become such a compelling spiritual doorway for Christians seeking deeper biblical roots. Together, they reflect on how Shabbat moves faith from constant productivity toward sacred presence, strengthens families, and builds meaningful Jewish-Christian relationships. Through personal stories, theological insight, and behind-the-scenes reflections from NRB, this episode reveals why an ancient Jewish practice is speaking so profoundly to modern believers and how shared spiritual rhythms can bring Jews and Christians closer together in a fractured world.

Live from the NRB convention floor, Robby and Dwaye share powerful conversations on faith, technology, and revival, featuring Cross Connect AI, the upcoming film A Great Awakening, and an inspiring story of hope and perseverance.

Barry Meguiar, President of the iconic car brand and founder of Ignite America, brings his passion and zeal for evangelism to the next generation! Barry joins us at NRB with his signature wit, life-giving joy, and a fresh approach to ignite a younger generation to share the Gospel in their daily lives and online. Ignite America (https://igniteamerica.com/)

Co-hosts Cathy, Kerri, and Marlene interview Troy Miller, the CEO and President of National Religious Broadcasters (NRB). The annual NRB Convention will convene in Nashville later this month. Discussion topics included Troy's personal faith journey, NRB’s partnership with the White House to celebrate America’s 250th Anniversary during the convention, the convention's highlights, and its impact upon Christian communicators. The Annual NRB International Christian Media Convention—open to all and taking place February 17–20 at the Opryland Resort in Nashville, TN—is a powerful opportunity to be equipped, encouraged, and inspired.

The National Religious Broadcasters is the leading membership and advocacy group of Christians in media, in the US and around the world. Over the decades, the NRB has evolved from being primarily about radio, to new modern technologies like AI and everything in between and in all its formats. Synonymous with advocacy for Christians in media, the NRB has become a tremendous advocate for Israel and against antisemitism. The NRB has been transformed under Troy Miller, and its plans vis a vis Israel are bold and inspiring. Join the conversation here, and live at the upcoming NRB Convention.

Cost: Free for NYU Learners $250 for Non-NYU Learners Click Here to Register and Begin Module 1 The Clinical Case Presentation: 60-year-old male with a history of HTN and asthma. EMS Findings: Severe respiratory distress, SpO₂ in the 60s on NRB, HR 120, BP 230/180. Exam: Diaphoretic, diffuse crackles, warm extremities, pitting edema, and significant fatigue/work of breathing. Pre-hospital meds: NRB, Duonebs, Dexamethasone, and IM Epinephrine (under the assumption of severe asthma/anaphylaxis). Differential Diagnosis for the Hypoxic/Tachypneic Patient Pulmonary: Asthma/COPD, Pneumonia, ARDS, PE, Pneumothorax, Pulmonary Edema, ILD, Anaphylaxis. Cardiac: CHF, ACS, Tamponade. Systemic: Anemia, Acidosis. Neuro: Neuromuscular weakness. What is SCAPE? Sympathetic Crashing Acute Pulmonary Edema (SCAPE) is characterized by a sudden, massive sympathetic surge leading to intense vasoconstriction and a precipitous rise in afterload. Pathophysiology: Unlike HFrEF, these patients are often euvolemic or even hypovolemic. The primary issue is fluid maldistribution (fluid shifting from the vasculature into the lungs) due to extreme afterload. Bedside Diagnosis: POCUS vs. CXR POCUS is the gold standard for rapid bedside diagnosis. Lung Ultrasound: Look for diffuse B-lines (≥3 in ≥2 bilateral zones). Cardiac: Assess LV function and check for pericardial effusion. Why not CXR? A meta-analysis shows LUS has a sensitivity of ~88% and specificity of ~90%, whereas CXR sensitivity is only ~73%. Importantly, up to 20% of patients with decompensated HF will have a normal CXR. Management Strategy 1. NIPPV (CPAP or BiPAP) Start NIPPV immediately to reduce preload/afterload and recruit alveoli. Settings: CPAP 5–8 cm H₂O or BiPAP 10/5 cm H₂O. Escalate EPAP quickly but keep pressures to avoid gastric insufflation. Evidence: NIPPV reduces mortality (NNT 17) and intubation rates (NNT 13). 2. High-Dose Nitroglycerin The goal is to drop SBP to < 140–160 mmHg within minutes. No IV Access: 3–5 SL tabs (0.4 mg each) simultaneously. IV Bolus: 500–1000 mcg over 2 minutes. IV Infusion: Start at 100–200 mcg/min; titrate up rapidly (doses > 800 mcg/min may be required). Safety: ACEP policy supports high-dose NTG as both safe and effective for hypertensive HF. Use a dedicated line/short tubing to prevent adsorption issues. 3. Refractory Hypertension If SBP remains > 160 mmHg despite NIPPV and aggressive NTG, add a second vasodilator: Clevidipine: Ultra-short-acting calcium channel blocker (titratable and rapid). Nicardipine: Effective alternative for rapid BP control. Enalaprilat: Consider if the above are unavailable. Troubleshooting & Pitfalls The “Mask Intolerant” Patient Hypoxia is the primary driver of agitation. NIPPV is the best sedative. * Pharmacology: If needed, use small doses of benzodiazepines (Midazolam 0.5–1 mg IV). AVOID Morphine: Data suggests higher rates of adverse events, invasive ventilation, and mortality. A 2022 RCT was halted early due to harm in the morphine arm (43% adverse events vs. 18% with midazolam). The Role of Diuretics In SCAPE, diuretics are not first-line. The problem is redistribution, not volume excess. Diuretics will not help in the first 15–30 minutes and may worsen kidney function in a (relatively) hypovolemic patient. Delay Diuretics until the patient is stabilized and clear systemic volume overload (edema, weight gain) is confirmed. Disposition Admission: Typically requires CCU/ICU for ongoing NIPPV and titration of vasoactive infusions. Weaning: As BP normalizes and work of breathing improves, infusions and NIPPV can be gradually tapered. Take-Home Points Recognize SCAPE: Hyperacute dyspnea + severe HTN. Trust your POCUS (B-lines) over a “clear” CXR. NIPPV Immediately: Don’t wait. It saves lives and prevents tubes. High-Dose NTG: Use boluses to “catch up” to the sympathetic surge. Don’t fear the dose. Avoid Morphine: Use small doses of benzos if the patient is struggling with the mask. Lasix Later: Prioritize afterload reduction over diuresis in the hyperacute phase.
