“The NRB Special Service and Media Awards highlight the excellence and effectiveness of the NRB family in sharing the Gospel and advancing the field of Christian communications,” NRB President & CEO Troy A. Miller said. “We congratulate this year’s winners and look forward to presenting these awards in May at NRB 2023.”

The annual NRB Awards program is designed to encourage excellence in production, service to the community, faithfulness to the mission, commitment to the Gospel, and personal integrity.

TLN Chairman Jerry K. Rose will receive the 2023 Hall of Fame Award

This most prestigious award is presented to an individual NRB member for invaluable contributions to the field of Christian communications, exhibition of the highest standards and evidence of faithfulness to Christ. As Chairman of the Board of Total Living Network, Jerry oversees a multimedia ministry with broadcast and cable channels in California, Illinois and IP streams available worldwide. Jerry is the writer and host of Journey, a faith-based teaching television series and the host of Significant Insights, an original interview show that features a broad-range of compelling interviews with extraordinary people of faith. Jerry has been personally honored with numerous awards including: The Silver Circle Award of Chicago Broadcasters from National Association of Television Arts and Sciences, the National Achievement Award for Radio, Television and Film from the Daughters of the American Revolution, and the Distinguished Milestone Service Award from the NRB. Jerry served on the Executive Committee of the NRB for over 25 years and as its President for three years. He served on the Board of Directors until recently being asked to join the newly formed NRB Board of Governors. He also served for two years as the President of the West Central Association, a business group which works with the city of Chicago on the development of the west side of downtown Chicago. Former Illinois Governor Bod Blagojevich appointed him to serve on the Illinois Film Commission. He is an ordained Assemblies of God Minister, and the author of five books including the latest Significant Living, A Roadmap for the Rest of Your Life. And finally, Jerry is a native Texan who loves horseback riding and participated nationally in an old west sport called Cowboy Mounted Shooting for many years. Jerry Rose stepped down as President/CEO of Total Living International effective May 31st, 2016, after 37 years of leading the television ministry. At the request of the Board, Rose continues to serve as Chairman of the TLI Board of Directors. TLI is the parent company of Total Living Network (TLN) located in Chicago, IL and TLNWest located in the San Francisco Bay Area.  Rose succeeded Owen Carr, the Founder and first President/CEO of the television ministry in 1979. He previously served as the Vice President and General Manager.

Jerry Rose commented, “I have considered it a special privilege over the years to serve the NRB in a leadership capacity.  And now to be included in the Hall of Fame is an incredible honor. There are giants of the faith there that I have looked up to, respected and greatly admired over the years. And now to be among them in the Hall of Fame is a very humbling experience.”

TLN will receive the Television Messaging of the Year Award with its “Vote Your Values” campaign

TLN’s mission is to direct people to Christ and address life’s concerns through media. We are Total Living for Total Life, and that includes our involvement in our communities by encouraging living out our faith. Through messaging to our constituents via letters, e-appeals, our websites, social media and on-air spots, we urged Americans to vote for the candidates that represent the biblical values that they believe in. It’s important for all citizens to embrace and trust what they believe about key issues in our culture today, so as part of our VOTE YOUR VALUES initiative, we created a believer’s bill of rights as a resource and guide at the polls.  

“It is truly an honor to be recognized by the National Religious Broadcasters Association which represents electronic communicators worldwide. TLN is committed to inspiring healthy faith-based living and to providing tools to live a vibrant life. We are privileged to receive these awards from this organization committed to excellence,” said TLN President/CEO Debra Fraser.

All award recipients will be honored during the 2023 NRB International Christian Media Convention, which will take place May 22-25, 2023, at the Orlando World Center Marriott in Orlando, Florida.
