Chicago, IL (TLN) — Jerry K. Rose, Chairman of Total Living International, accepted the 2023 Hall of Fame Award at The National Religious Broadcasters annual convention in Orlando, FL on May 25th at the Closing Gala Dinner. The NRB’s Special Service and Media Awards recognize the most outstanding ministries, organizations, programs, and producers within the world’s premiere association of Christian communicators.
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 International, Jerry oversees a multimedia ministry with broadcast and cable channels in California, Illinois and IP streams available worldwide.
Jerry remarked, “To be inducted into the NRB Hall of Fame is humbling, because it puts me in company of mega-giants of the faith. Men and women I’ve admired, respected and learned from over the years.”
Rose went on, “I’ve also been honored to serve the NRB for some 40 plus years on the board, the executive committee and as its president. Today, the NRB is stronger than ever and is and will continue to be a force on behalf of Christian media. Let us remember that our mission is our message. I like how one writer described that message: God made it, we broke it, Jesus fixes it. It’s a message of redemption.”
Jerry shared this recognition with his wife Shirley: “This honor is as much about her as it is me. We’ve been married over 50 years and after God, she’s the most important thing that’s ever happened to me.”
In addition to his service to Total Living International and the NRB (where he now serves on the newly formed Board of Governors), 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. He is the author of five books including the latest Significant Living, A Roadmap for the Rest of Your Life.
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.

I heard some good advice about an acceptance speech. “Don’t attempt to be charming, witty or intellectual. Just be who you are.” That’s good …. takes the pressure off!
I would like for my wife Shirley to stand because this honor is as much about her as it is me. We’ve been married over 50 years and after God, she’s the most important that’s ever happened to me.
To be inducted into the NRB Hall of Fame is humbling because it puts me in the company of mega-giants of the faith. Men and women I’ve admired, respected and learned from over the years. And quite frankly I feel a bit like a pygmy among those giants. But nevertheless, it’s a tremendous honor and I thank you.
I’ve also been honored to serve the NRB for some 40 plus years on the board, the executive committee and as its president. I don’t have to tell you, we’ve had some pretty serious bumps in the road the last few years, but today, at a time I believe it is most needed, the NRB is stronger than ever and is and will continue to be a force to be reckoned with on behalf of Christian media.
As I look out over this audience, I see friends and colleagues of many years. You and I have shared something very special. Like many of you I’ve had the privilege of spending most of my life sharing the gospel through electronic media. And I can’t imagine having done anything else.
I also see young people. Young people with fresh vision taking their place alongside us and taking advantage of all the new and amazing possibilities that are available to us today. Possibilities we couldn’t have imagined just a few years ago. And you’re to be commended on the great job you’re doing.
Together we are all called to use the power of the media to share the gospel of Jesus Christ with a crazy world lost in spiritual chaos. A world disconnected from reality. What an opportunity and what a responsibility to be involved in media ministry at this pivotal point in history.
As we look to the future with the radical changes in our culture there are also going to be lots of challenges, perhaps the greatest challenges we have faced as Christians in America.
But here’s my challenge to you. Whatever the future holds, whatever it takes …..hold firm to biblical truth …. remember: OUR MISSION IS THE MESSAGE. I like how one writer described that message. GOD MADE, WE BROKE IT, JESUS FIXES IT. Regardless of how you describe it, it is a message of redemption. And the only hope for the world.
