The Conquer Series Brings Its Porn Message to Broadcasters
What message did the Conquer Series bring to National Religious Broadcasters?
That the next generation is not watching Christian TV, they are watching porn. The Conquer Series team took that message to NRB Proclaim '16 in Nashville. Jeremy Wiles said it rests on real numbers: a Lifeway study found 67 percent of Americans do not watch Christian TV, and Barna found 76 percent of Christians aged 18 to 24 actively seek out porn.
The Conquer Series team recently attended the National Religious Broadcasters (NRB) Proclaim ’16 conference in Nashville, where they aimed to spread the message of freedom from the epidemic of pornography in the church. As Christian media holds a powerful position to make a difference, the team wanted to make themselves available to help broadcasters carry this vital message to men struggling with porn addiction.
Broadcasters and churches alike can bring the Conquer Series to the men in their own communities.
Understanding the Battlefield of Pornography
The Conquer Series is a cinematic film series that uses parables and powerful teachings from former Marine Jet Fighter Pilot, Dr. Ted Roberts, to help men understand the deadly battlefield that pornography presents. It teaches men that trying harder to resist the temptation of porn doesn't work and that the battle takes place in the brain. Through the Conquer Series, men can learn the weapons they need to start their journey towards freedom.

Making an Impact at NRB Proclaim ’16
At the NRB Proclaim ’16 expo, the Conquer Series team put together an eye-catching exhibit that showcased the battlefield of pornography. The exhibit included an M151 Ford vehicle mounted with a 50 cal machine gun from the Vietnam War era. A sign that read, "The next generation is not watching Christian TV, they’re watching porn," caught the attention of many passersby, including South Korea's main Christian TV station, who approached the team for an interview.

Bringing Freedom to Millions of Men
Despite the shocking statistics, the Conquer Series team has already seen God do incredible things through their work.

They also heard from men who have taken the series to their church and have seen the difference it has made.
The Conquer Series has already brought this message to millions of men in over 100 countries, and they want to work with broadcasters to help even more men across the Kingdom hear this vital message.

What is the Conquer Series?
It is a cinematic film series that uses parables and teaching to help men understand the deadly battlefield pornography presents. It teaches that trying harder to resist temptation does not work and that the real battle takes place in the brain, then equips men with the weapons they need to begin the journey toward freedom. It is designed for churches to run.
Does trying harder work against porn?
No, and that is central to everything the Conquer Series teaches. The battle takes place in the brain, which means resistance by willpower is fighting on the wrong ground. Men need to understand the battlefield first, then take up the weapons God has actually provided. Resistance without understanding produces exhausted men, not free ones.
How many men has the Conquer Series reached?
Millions of men across more than 100 countries have received this message through the series. The team's goal at National Religious Broadcasters was to reach further still by working with broadcasters who can carry it to audiences that churches alone will never reach. The scale of the problem is the reason the scale of the response has to match it.
Can a church or broadcaster bring the Conquer Series to their audience?
Yes. Churches can bring the series to their congregation, and broadcasters can work with the team to carry the message to their audience or schedule an interview. Christian media holds a powerful position to make a difference here, which is precisely why the team made themselves available at the conference rather than waiting for enquiries.
What was the Conquer Series exhibit at NRB Proclaim '16?
It was an eye-catching booth built to showcase the battlefield of pornography, centred on an M151 Ford vehicle mounted with a fifty calibre machine gun from the Vietnam War era. The sign read, "The next generation is not watching Christian TV, they're watching porn." It stopped enough people that South Korea's main Christian TV station asked for an interview, where Conquer Series Director Jeremy Wiles said, "This headline is not just to get people's attention – it is based on real statistics."
