There is also UCB TV who are very unique in that they never raise any funds on air! Then there is Revelation TV – great topics and live debates. In a way I’m happy God did not let me come to the US to study film & TV but rather chose to place in me Europe where you will be challenged and forced to dig deep (for real gold) and be excellent or you just won’t be heard Christian or not, so far I love the experience here! God TV started off great but the American thing is getting in the way of things especially in terms of overemphasis of money “prosperity” as a measure of one’s faith. The Lord help us to discover that truth is a Person not a thing nor is it measured by tangible things as standard.

Phil, maybe Wendy & Alec's background – production, creativity, advertising – portends a future where leaders don't go to Bible school, but to film school, art college or take studies in communications & advertising. The medium and methods are just as important now as the message in a media savvy world. God bless them in that their programming isn't the typical preacher with a microphone behind a pulpit speaking to an audience with cameras run by volunteers. Ouch. (On DirecTv, God Tv is on channel 365.)

I think Phil’s point of creating a different religious tv experience is a good one. Gone are the days of noisy telethons, endless preaching programs and trips to jerusalem with celebrity preachers. Well, with God tv, maybe not.

Perhaps if they mine the major film schools in the US for interns, they'll generate a substantial base of very promising young talent. that might infuze a huge amount of their generation's perspective and language into the programming. That would also be the impetus for a whole new wave of great programming. And…they should definately consider doing lots of focus groups. Hey, the more info they get, the better. I am very happy that they're around, doing what they're doing. And going in a great direction.
