NRB 2026: Walking the Floor, Building Kingdom Connections, and Advancing Faith-Based Media with Almighty Wings Productions

In February 2026, Matt and Season had the incredible privilege of attending the full NRB 2026 International Christian Media Convention in Nashville, Tennessee (February 17–20). As the world’s largest gathering of Christian communicators, NRB brings together broadcasters, filmmakers, podcasters, and content creators who are passionate about using media to advance the Gospel.

For Almighty Wings Productions, this wasn’t just a conference — it was a strategic time of learning, networking, and vision sharing. Here’s our three-part reflection on this powerful week.

Walking the Massive Exhibit Floor

The energy on the NRB exhibit floor was unmatched. With over 240 exhibitors and 56,000 square feet of space, it felt like the heartbeat of Christian media. We spent all three days walking the floor, meeting distributors, streaming platforms, and ministry leaders who are hungry for high-quality, faith-filled content. The floor was alive with innovation — from new distribution platforms to cutting-edge technology — and we left inspired by the growing movement of creators committed to excellence and Kingdom impact.

Liberty Spenders Executive Exchange Dinner

One of the highlights of the week was attending the Liberty Spenders Executive Exchange dinner hosted by Kurt and Kristen Luidhardt. This intimate gathering brought together faith-driven business leaders focused on reaching the massive conservative and faith-based market with integrity and excellence.

The conversations around the table were rich and strategic. We discussed how content creators can better serve families while building sustainable businesses. Hearing from other leaders reinforced our commitment to our projects, stories that entertain while pointing people to truth. It was a powerful reminder that business and ministry are not at odds; when aligned, they multiply impact.

Reconnecting with Friends & Building New Relationships

Some of the sweetest moments came from reconnecting with old friends and making new ones. We were thrilled to run into Brannon Hollingsworth and Travis Coombs, along with many other familiar faces in the Christian media world. These relationships are the backbone of what we do — iron sharpening iron as we encourage one another in this calling.

From top floor conversations to deeper discussions over meals, every connection felt purposeful. We shared our vision for Almighty Wings Productions and heard incredible stories of how God is using media to reach the next generation. These moments reminded us that we are part of a much larger family of believers using their gifts for His glory.

All Worth It

NRB 2026 was a powerful time of refreshment, strategy, and Kingdom connection. Walking the floor, attending the Liberty Spenders dinner, and reconnecting with friends like Brannon and Travis left us more determined than ever to create content that is excellent, uplifting, and full of light.
