Miller’s most recent opinion article in the Daily Caller shines a light on something the mainstream media is hesitant to cover: America isn’t drifting toward a post-Christian future. Instead, based on data from a landmark study from NRB and Barna Group, there are signs of a resurgence in and reliance on Christian media.
“On any given weekend, thousands line the beaches of California for mass baptisms, even as courtrooms fill with cases challenging religious liberty. Record numbers of young men are returning to church. Bible sales are booming. Celebrities are openly thanking Jesus on national television while teachers are pressured to keep faith out of classrooms and historians seek to rewrite the nation’s founding as irredeemably flawed,” writes Miller. “The tale of two worldviews – clashing daily in the national conversation.”
Salem Media Group announced that David Evans, their Chief Operating Officer, stepped down effective August 31 after 25 years with the company.

Radio Content Pro (RCP) announced two major feature launches designed to help broadcasters supercharge their digital presence:
Instant Auto-Publishing: Users can now automatically feed their websites with original, format-specific content around the clock. The new RCP API is compatible with any website platform, while the WordPress plugin offers one-click integration. Content updates instantly 24/7/365 and can be configured as a fully automated feed or managed with live-assist editing and curation. Copyright-Free Images for Every Story: Every post in every format now can be enhanced with a unique, AI-generated image designed to match the story. Broadcasters no longer need to worry about stock photo licenses or generic visuals.
Andrew Johnson, CEO of WP Media (parent company of RCP) says, “Too many station websites are static brochures. We’ve built the tools that turn those sites into living, breathing content hubs that grow audiences, drive engagement, and unlock new revenue streams.
