Calvary Chapel Chino Hills is creatively and proactively standing strong to protect First Amendment, religious, and conservative speech rights.

“As Christians, we are called to be salt and light in the world. We need to be a positive influence on our culture and engage in the public square to shape the course of our nation,” according to Jack Hibbs, senior pastor of Calvary Chapel Chino Hills in Chino, CA. “We must never give up our freedom to speak and worship as we choose, and we must always be vigilant in defending those freedoms.”

Attacks on these rights are increasing daily, Jack stated. To combat that trend, he launched Real Life Network (RLN) on Pentecost Sunday, May 28, 2023.

RLN is a digital media platform featuring a wide variety of biblical worldview and family-friendly programming to fast forward the faith of viewers across the globe and ensure that God’s Word will never be silenced by Big Tech and Big Government. Jack warned, “American citizens need to be concerned about the precarious state of their First Amendment rights.”

Jack added that they are excited to launch RLN to oppose the censorship and direct attack on the preaching of the Gospel. “We must be proactive in keeping truth as the primary narrative in society and speaking out against the forces that seek to silence us.”

RLN is free to subscribers and broadcasters due to the support of others, providing unique, on-demand, and live programming from Real Life Ministry and a host of partners that share the network’s vision. Everything on the network is at the fingertips of viewers whenever and wherever they want to access it—across all devices, including mobile phones, computers, AppleTV, Amazon FireTV, Roku, Google Play, and more.

The network’s mission is to empower viewers by providing biblical teachings, character-building entertainment, and other content to help them live out an abundant life based on the Bible. Viewers will be able to enjoy—in one place—all of Pastor Jack’s unapologetic biblical teachings, events, and ministry. It features more than 60 programmers and 2,000 episodes of news, culture, current events, documentaries, podcast content, and children’s programming. Viewers will be able to watch timeless biblical teachings by Pastor Chuck Smith, Billy Graham, and Dr. Ed Hindson, to name a few. Other programs will include Washington Watch with Tony Perkins, Cure America with Star Parker, updates regarding Israel from Amir Tsarfati, and much more. New episodes and programmers will be added weekly, keeping the content fresh and timely.

The RLN home page displays much of the programming offered on the new network.

“Why launch on Pentecost Sunday?” Jack reasoned. “It was a watershed moment for the early Church, symbolizing the empowerment of believers through the Holy Spirit to spread the Gospel and continue Christ’s mission on earth. It was also a significant day for me personally. The Holy Spirit impressed upon me to reopen the doors of CC Chino Hills on Pentecost Sunday in 2020, regardless of any lockdown, mandate, or ‘guidance’ from the government. On that day, I informed our congregation that we would never again violate God’s Word by shutting down His church, as no one has that authority but God Himself.”

Over his years of ministry, Jack has been dedicated to proclaiming truth and standing boldly in opposition to false doctrines that distort the Word of God and the character of Christ. He uses his voice and platform to challenge today’s generation to both understand and practice an authentic Christian worldview.
