TBN Newsletter

With its April 2nd launch TBN’s new partner network Merit Street Media is on the air! Merit Street dramatically widens the lane of traditional Christian television so that TBN can focus on ministry, bringing the hope and grace of Jesus to a world in need. It’s the perfect partnership — TBN centered on the person of Jesus, while Merit Street emphasizes the principles of Jesus.

Led by New York Times bestselling author and respected psychologist Dr. Phil McGraw, Merit Street is anchored weeknights by Dr. Phil Primetime, an exciting new rendition of Dr. Phil’s Emmy Award-winning #1 daily talk show that has been a dependable source of practical advice for millions of individuals and families over the past twenty-plus years.

Joining Dr. Phil is a chorus of other trusted voices, including justice advocate Nancy Grace, inspiring adventurer Bear Grylls, Emmy Award-winning entertainer Steve Harvey, America’s modern-day Mark Twain Mike Rowe, and many more. Through its strong daily program lineup, Merit Street Media is set to provide viewers with a reliable source of empowering information and encouragement to build healthy lives and solid families.

Laurie and I have been especially blessed by Dr. Phil’s emphasis on the importance of faith and God in the everyday lives of individuals and families. “I’m very concerned about where faith is in America right now,” he told us. “I want everyone to know that my personal faith has shaped the concepts we’re featuring on Merit Street Media.”

That focus on faith is at the core of every part of this bold new partnership. As we’ve said many times before, it’s a two-pronged strategy: While TBN’s preaching, teaching, and ministry programming continues to focus on the message of salvation, hope, and healing through the person of Jesus, Merit Street Media is committed to shining a bright light on the principles of Jesus through programming layered with truth, justice, and mercy.

Thank you for standing with us in this innovative strategy to touch more people than ever with the good news of Jesus. Eternity alone will reveal the fruit of our efforts as together we move forward to win souls for His kingdom.
