Importance of Utilizing New Media for Christian Businesses and Content Creators
In this podcast episode, the speaker highlights the significance of Christian businesses and content creators leveraging the opportunities presented by new media.

The purpose of this network is to collaborate with content creators, pastors, and business leaders, offering them a platform to start their own podcasts and reach a wider audience. By expanding the network, the speaker aims to compete with mainstream media outlets and create Christ-centered content for various genres, including cooking shows, hunting shows, sitcoms, and more. Additionally, the network's long-term vision focuses on discipleship and the impact of generational wealth, highlighting the potential for a Christian network to influence culture and society over time.
