They Tried To Wipe Out Christian Media. Here's What's Coming Next.
In 2016, Western Journal was getting 16 billion hits on Facebook. Then Donald Trump got elected — and Silicon Valley decided that was a problem. Overnight, they wiped it out. No warning. No appeal. Just gone.
And it wasn't conservative politics they were most afraid of. It was pro-life content. And right behind it, anything carrying the name of Jesus.
So what do you do when they erase your platform? You build one they can't touch.
I sit down with Floyd Brown — founder of Western Journal and 50-year Bible student — to talk about what got wiped out, what's rising to replace it, and why he believes EKKL may be the most important shift in Christian media in a generation.
Their first major release hits theaters August 14: Elijah Peel — the true story of a rock star who has a heart attack at 35, meets a young girl with cancer in the hospital, and encounters the love of Jesus Christ. Floyd says if you can't find Jesus after watching this movie, you can't find Him.
We also get into the crisis nobody's talking about: why biblical illiteracy is leaving the church wide open to deception — and the simple prayer discipline that could change everything.
In this episode:
* How 16 billion Christian clicks vanished overnight — and why the #1 target was never politics
* What EKKL is and why it's built differently than any Christian platform before it
* Elijah Peel — a rock star, a heart attack, a dying girl, and a true story in theaters August 14
* Why Floyd reads the entire Bible every year — and what happened when he finally started
* The prayer habit that structures 30 minutes with God and fills a journal in a year
* Why politics is downstream of culture — and what that means for where Christians should be investing their energy now
