But this weekend, the battl...| The Roys Report
I’ve often been asked what our media team at Cooke Media Group does when it consults with major non-profit, church, and ministry clients. I realized that most people really don’t understand how outside consultants can make a difference in helping an organization get to the next level. But the truth is, in the secular arena, …| Phil Cooke

When it comes to live production or editing, few things separate amateurs from pros faster than how they handle cuts and dissolves.

Let’s start …| Phil Cooke
If you’ve ever spent much time in art museums, you know that much of the greatest Christian art of the past was anything BUT “family friendly.” Caravaggio’s David with the Head of Goliath, for instance. Powerful painting, raw, and violent. It’s the gripping moment David holds up the head of Goliath – his severed neck …| Phil Cooke
The media landscape is shifting faster than most churches, ministries, and Christian communicators realize. What once took decades to change now evolves in months, sometimes even weeks.

And if we’re not present …| Phil Cooke

The lobby of the new Museum of Christian & Gospel Music in downtown Nashville was filled with the sounds of drills, vacuums and other power tools last week as workers scurried to put the finishing touches on displays ahead of the grand opening a couple days away. “Do I feel ready?” asked Steve Gilreath, the museum’s bearded, jovial executive director. “No. But we’ll be ready.” Two days later, the museum, located a block from the famed Ryman Auditorium, opened to the public.| The Roys Report
(Opinion) The conflict entrepreneurs are at it again. This time the skirmish is between dissident right activist Megan Basham and one of her favorite targets: Christianity Today magazine. If, for the past few days, you have been going to work, raising a family, attending church, or doing other things that sane people do, and you’ve therefore missed this tempest in a teapot, here are some basic facts: Canon Press, the publishing arm of Pastor Douglas Wilson’s ministry, made an unsolicited...| The Roys Report
For years, she was known onscreen as “Crazy Cousin Amy.” From 2008-2015, Amy Duggar King was featured in all 10 seasons of “19 Kids and Counting,” the hit TLC reality show about the ever-growing Duggar family. The thing was, Duggar King wasn’t crazy — she was just a young adult who wore jeans, listened to rock music and had a shoulder-length haircut. But in the fundamentalist world Duggar King’s 19 cousins were raised in, those factors rendered her an outsider.| The Roys Report

Billy Graham.| The Roys Report
For two decades, Michael Tait survivors Jason Jones and Randall Crawford hid their alleged rapes by Tait from the world. Now, they are on the warpath. After telling media their stories of grooming and sexual assault at the hands of the former Newsboys frontman, they have launched a platform called Coalition Reloaded. The ambitious music and ministry initiative calls out sexual and church abuse in an effort to change Christian music from the inside out.| The Roys Report
