In a disturbing bit of news, more than 4 in 10 black Christians say that they want to continue the hybrid model of Church service even after the threat of COVID is completely gone, adopting a mix of either in-person and online church services that congregants could attend at their will and discretion, without feeling one is better or worse than the other.
Furthermore, to add a bit of soul-crushing seasoning to that list, 7% of black congregants say they’d just as soon do away with the in-person church altogether and attend digital services only, according to the Trends in the Black Church study, which “conducted in partnership with Rev. Dr. Brianna K. Parker (of Black Millennial Cafe), Gloo, Urban Ministries, Inc., LEAD.NYC, American Bible Society and Compassion” according to Barna .”
This is nothing but pure disobedience, with the desire to “do church” through a webcam to be shameful, deleterious, and woefully unscriptural. We’re not talking about the option to simply stream a service, which is available for shut-ins and others who have a legitimate, pressing reason for not being there, but rather in instances where the whole formulation is done digitally. The “online church” is a wretched substitute for the real thing. It’s not CHURCH; only a pale shadow of it, and studies like this call into question how much these advocates for the hybrid church really love the Lord and his bride, given how separated and isolated from it they really seek to be.

Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
