True View Ministries is a multimedia outlet that is passionate about proclaiming the truth of God’s Word. Specializing in television broadcasts, True View’s goal is to transform the women of the world by proclaiming the Word of God with a passion in love as well as equipping and encouraging women to live authentic Christian lives. Co-founders, Jamie Shaver and Julie Van Gorp, created this ministry network to provide women with a global source to get Biblically sound and culturally relevant insight that challenges them to live fearless Christian lives. The ministry primarily operates through the “True View” TV show, which seeks to channel the lens of the Scriptures, changing the way women view and interact with the world. Next to live broadcasts, True View also hosts and participates in conferences, posts blogs, provides mentorship, and publishes Bible Studies.
This Wednesday through Friday, True View will be producing one of their largest broadcasts from New Castle, PA. Special guests from all over the nation will be featured and discuss topics including Divorce, Purity, and Parenting. Anne Kerr, Founder and President of TrueNorth Freedom Projects, along with Mindy Pierce, Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) of Grow Counseling, will address issues related to Pornography and Parenting in a sexualized culture. Other focuses more relevant to Christian Millennials include Social Media, Racial Utility, and Bullying. Justin Butterfield, Senior Counsel for Liberty Institute, will present a case in favor of defending, promoting and contending the Christian faith. Although the broadcast is projected towards parents and spouses, college students are encouraged to tune in and learn more about these pressing current dilemmas.
Two students of Grove City College’s Communication and Visual Arts Department were chosen to serve as interns for True View’s live broadcast. Katherine Hussey, Senior Communications Major and Spanish minor, will serve as Camera Operator and Floor Director. Victoria O’Brien, Senior Communications Major with concentrations in Business, Entrepreneurship, and Pre-Law, will intern as Director of Social Media Development. Both interns share a common interest and passion for news broadcast, video production, and reporting. Although GCC does not offer specific courses in these areas, Hussey and O’Brien are prepared for this opportunity through related communication courses and past internships experience. Hussey has served as a News Intern at KDKA News Radio where she was responsible for writing radio scripts and assembling recorded demo newscasts. O’Brien interned as a Video Journalist for Bold Global Media where she curated original content for the website as well as produced and anchored the company’s daily show. Both interns agree that the audio and video workshops hosted by GCC’s Media Services positively aided in their internship experiences.
True View Ministries is open to providing additional students with the opportunity to participate in future events. Shaver welcomes other students who are interested in advancing True View’s mission to contact her at jamie@trueviewministries.org.
