Hello Friends and Supporters! Heading into the last quarter of 2026, it's fitting to give you a recap of the latest and also get ahead of the end of year plans for Big Stage Media - and YOUR end of year plans as well!

What a year it has been. We were blessed to start off the year with an award at the NRB Crown Awards in Nashville for our Big Stage Christmas Show! Incredible, praise God for that. We have felt strongly that this show is a fantastic platform to share Jesus, reminding people why we celebrate Christmas in the first place - His Birth! We do this while featuring incredible artists, funny sketch and we also produce this program in gratitude for our Troops and First Responders. Basically - we're bringing back the traditional variety program like Andy Williams, Perry Como - and our DREAM is to replicate the Bob Hope USO programs but all Christmas! You are a huge part of making that happen.

We had a successful HERO Golf Tournament in June of this year, a full 144 player field, HERO teams from Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Police and Firefighters. We're already signed up for 2027 - June 4, at The Ridge at Castle Pines! We're building our new HERO teams now and signing up sponsors who want to support these brave Men and Women!

We launched REEL Redemption! This is one of the most impactful programs we'll produce; people sharing their testimonies and moments in their lives where they recognized God's impact, His intervention, His direction - and His redemption. It's a wonderful program and very missions focused. The idea is that we land the long form session on our YouTube channel and then break up important moments into social media REELS that run 30, 60 and 90 seconds. These clips drive people back to the channel and our goal is to have resources at the end of the long form session so people can reach out and get information, connection, resource and even help when needed! Check out the first long form show here: in the link provided below.

We will be releasing the second full session with Tucker Williford soon!

This year we have written our Christmas film - it's in development stage with a little fine tuning, and we have begun the fundraising campaign for the film. More on this soon, as the campaign is brand new!

A second film, When the Game is Over, is being written now! As a 20 year coach, I can't even express how much this film means to me. I can't wait to share progress with you as we move forward.

We are on mission to locate studio space, and with that will come the relaunch of Focus323. Many of you will remember that this is the program highlighting how to have civil discussion in a disagreeing world. Political, Social and Cultural issues of the day; all while recognizing that God has authority over all of this. Maybe more important than ever that we relaunch this program ... and soon!

Coffee with a Pastor is a new program that will be coming soon, where we ask pastors, off the cuff, important questions about how to study God's Word, interpret it well and apply to our everyday journey.

323Action is a leadership program where we both teach business, community and political leaders how to serve AND we give them opportunities to act on it. This is a long desired outreach, but still fresh on our agenda.

Big Stage Media is a movement in media, not just a production venture. We really feel led to be missionaries to the industry of entertainment and information - to the people in the industry - as much as we are producing God honoring content to share to the world. This has become one of the darkest industries in the world, and we are positioned well to minister and witness to the players in the industry.

This all and SO MUCH MORE! So the call to action for this campaign, our cry out to you; is to help us fund the mission.
