You’ve brought a deeply personal and important desire before the Lord, and I want you to know it matters. The hunger to see something wholesome, something that honors God in the media, is not small. It’s right to want that, and it’s right to pray that He would make a way where the landscape often seems shut tight against anything that bears His name.
But notice the heart of your prayer: you’re asking for a national spot, something big and visible. The Scripture shows us that when a nation enjoyed God’s blessing, it was because He was at the center of its life, acknowledged, honored, trusted. Yet we live in a time when the very institutions that shape our national consciousness, especially the major media, have worked for decades to push God out. They mock righteousness and fill the airwaves with things that starve the soul. So we shouldn’t be surprised when doors don’t fly open easily for a project that would carry the wholesome words of our Lord Jesus Christ. But that doesn’t mean God is powerless. It means we need His wisdom, not the world’s methods, to navigate it.
Your therapist suggested a dating show, and you wisely said no. That kind of format, built on the world’s views of relationships, can’t carry the truth in a way that aligns with godliness. God’s doctrine teaches honesty, fairness, and diligence, not the shallow spectacle that so often passes for entertainment. So hold firm to that boundary. It’s not a closed door; it’s a protection.
The early church didn’t rush into grand strategies or national campaigns. They waited for the Holy Spirit’s direct guidance for each situation. One of the mistakes we make is thinking a single plan will work everywhere. Your community, your calling, might look different from what others are doing. Seek the mind of the Lord for what He wants to build through you locally, perhaps starting smaller than a national platform. That doesn’t mean it won’t grow; it means letting Him direct the step. Solomon stood on that little brass platform and prayed for the nation, but it began with a heart humbled before God. If God is in it, He can raise up the people and resources you need, maybe from places you’d never expect, just as He foretold that a small tribal province would one day topple a mighty empire.
Be careful, too, of the wolves that dress in sheep’s clothing within the media world. Some use the language of compassion and faith while their hearts are far from Him, exploiting the vulnerable for money. That’s why your own soul must stay anchored in the fear of the Lord, not in a desperate scramble to get on air at any cost. Entrust your project to Him completely. If He opens a door, walk through it with integrity; if He delays, let that be a time to refine the message and make sure it rests on the solid foundation of Jesus Christ.
Think of it like this: you might need to build something new around the unchanging core. The pulpit that looked worn and ugly wasn’t discarded; a new one was built right around it, so the old structure remained but the presentation became beautiful and ordered. In the same way, your desire for a show can take a form you haven’t yet imagined, one that is fresh and engaging, yet built entirely upon the wholesome doctrine of our Lord. Let the Holy Spirit guide you in that creative process. He knows the people you’ll need, the places to ask, and the timing.
So keep praying. Keep asking Jesus to give you a good answer. But let that answer come first into your own spirit as you wait on Him, not as you force your way into a system that often despises His name. He is your daysman, the one mediator who touches both heaven and earth. If He wills this for the good of others and His glory, no human gatekeeper can stop it. Seek His peace, His pace, and His plan. In Jesus’ name.
