The mission of family broadcasting is to provide a haven of comfort in an anti-faith, secular world. It is designed to contact and share positive, spiritual messages with even more people at home and in their cars using technology and the Internet.

Summary
The spiritual relationship between the individual, with God and with Jesus Christ is now being delivered via digital ad media. DJs and guests alike can spread the news of living for God instead of self, recognizing and avoiding sin in its many forms and living a life of self-sacrifice as did Jesus Christ in our tech-era.
On-the-air faith programs diligently work to promote wholesome ad media to sway the hearts and minds of people who are constantly being influenced by shocking, controversial and immoral mainstream lifestyles. For those who get tired of constantly switching channels to protect themselves from the various vices of society, there are still plenty of existing Christian-based programs out there who choose to openly express their beliefs and moral values with others.
