In a new video short, The Stream‘s founder and publisher, James Robison, shares his vision for freedom and renewal, and answers the question, “Why The Stream?”

It’s a question that’s often been put to the evangelist, whose LIFE Outreach ministry focuses on feeding and bringing water and the Gospel to millions the world over. Why a news and commentary site focused on the issues of the day? His answer comes down to a love of his family and yours, and the need to address our nation’s problems for the benefit of the generations to come.

“There is something right now that is lacking in our nation,” James says. “And it is understanding. It’s wisdom.” He goes on to describe the wise principles undergirding The Stream, and encourages readers to share the video on social media, and talk about The Stream this weekend at your church. As James says, The Stream is a “gift to the body of Christ.”
