FAITH OVER 40

How is digital media changing traditional broadcasting?Digital media has shifted power from networks to viewers. Content is now on-demand, personalized, interactive, and available anywhere. It opens doors for niche creators and builds real-time community in ways traditional broadcasting cannot.

What trends are shaping the future of content creation?Short-form video, niche content, authenticity, expert voices, and interactive communities are shaping the future of content creation. Audiences want real, targeted, and values-driven content they can engage with across multiple platforms.

How do you stay relevant in a constantly evolving media landscape?I stay relevant by combining solid research, expert contributors, and authentic, mission-driven content. By adapting to new platforms and focusing on the real needs of adults 40+, Faith Over 40 stays timely in a fast-changing media world.

What role does audience feedback play in your programming?Audience feedback guides our programming. We listen closely to what resonates, what people need, and what they’re facing, and we adapt our topics and guests accordingly. Our audience doesn’t just follow our content—they help shape it.

How are you integrating new platforms like streaming or podcasts? We are integrating new platforms like streaming and podcasting by intentionally meeting our audience where they already are—and where media consumption is headed. Faith Over 40 is structured as a multi-platform ecosystem: our daily devotions reach nearly 8 million readers online, and our new Faith Over 40 podcast, launching January 2026, expands that content into long-form conversations with experts, leaders, and practitioners who speak directly to the needs of adults over forty.

Podcasting allows us to deepen engagement by offering nuanced, real-time discussions around faith, wellness, mental health, relationships, finances, and midlife transitions. We’re also utilizing streaming platforms so our content is accessible on demand, across devices, at any time. This flexibility is crucial for a demographic balancing careers, caregiving, empty nesting, and major life changes.

We also repurpose key moments from our long-form episodes into shorter clips optimized for social media and mobile viewing. This multiplies reach, expands discoverability, and makes our content digestible for busy listeners.

Overall, integrating streaming and podcasting allows us to remain relevant, broaden our impact, and build a connected community—while still staying grounded in our core mission: offering hope, wisdom, and Christ-centered encouragement to those navigating life after forty.

What’s your approach to maintaining journalistic integrity? My approach to maintaining journalistic integrity is rooted in three commitments: truth, transparency, and responsibility. As an author, journalist, and ghostwriter who has worked with high-profile leaders—including Fortune 500 CEOs, faith leaders, and political figures—I understand the weight of accuracy and the ethical responsibility that comes with representing another person’s voice and story.

I rely on verified sources, thorough research, and direct documentation before writing or publishing anything. I do not sensationalize or distort facts to fit a narrative. When covering sensitive or emotionally charged topics—faith, trauma, mental health, domestic violence, politics—I prioritize clarity, compassion, and fairness.

Integrity also means distinguishing clearly between opinion, testimony, and verified fact. When I ghostwrite, I ensure all claims are supported by evidence, source documents, or the individual’s direct testimony. When writing devotionals or podcast content, I maintain theological integrity by remaining faithful to Scripture and avoiding exaggeration or misrepresentation.

Finally, I invite accountability. My team includes a Christian psychologist, medical doctors, and financial advisors who help ensure that health, wellness, and financial content is both accurate and responsibly communicated.

For me, integrity is not an afterthought—it’s the backbone of my work and the foundation of trust with my audience.

What advice would you give to aspiring media professionals? My advice to aspiring media professionals is simple: lead with authenticity, stay teachable, and know your mission. The media landscape changes constantly, but people will always respond to honesty, clarity, and purpose. Don’t chase trends—study them, understand them, and adapt your delivery without compromising who you are or what you stand for.

Master your craft through discipline. Learn to research well, write well, communicate clearly, and verify everything. Integrity will set you apart in a world full of noise and shortcuts.

Surround yourself with people who know more than you—experts, mentors, creators, editors, and professionals who sharpen your skills. Ask questions. Stay curious.

Most importantly, serve your audience. Media isn’t about performing; it’s about connecting, informing, encouraging, and elevating the conversation. If you focus on meeting real needs and providing real value, your work will matter—and your platform will grow naturally.
