On February 17, 2026, the International Christian Media Conference began in Nashville (USA), with more than 5,800 representatives from over 250 organizations working in radio, television, film, and digital platforms participating. The forum will continue until February 20, writes Christian Daily.
In his opening remarks, Christian broadcasters association president Troy Miller spoke about the existence of an "orthodoxy gap" – a situation where Christians affirm basic tenets of faith but do not embody them in daily life.
“We have an orthodoxy gap,” Miller said. “We have doctrine being affirmed while daily obedience is being minimalized. In other words, we have a lot of fans in the stands and very few players on the field.”
Miller warned that when belief becomes detached from obedience, “Christianity becomes a brand, not a lived faith.” He said Christian communicators must move beyond content production to calling believers toward visible, public faith.
“This is the assignment of Christian communicators – not to merely create content, but to call the church to obedient public, visible faith,” he said, citing the New Testament book of James: “Be doers of the word, and not hearers only.”
The organizers note that the conference is dedicated to the challenges facing Christian media in the context of technological, cultural, and legal changes, as well as issues of protecting freedom of speech and religious beliefs in the public space.
As the UOJ wrote, minimum trust in clergy has been recorded in the USA.
