Restore7.TV is a streaming platform for uplifting, entertaining, and educational content. On our platform you will have access to many styles of content from inspiring creators and reformers, categorized by the area of culture you're interested in. You can expect to see a variety of styles of content: podcasts, ted talks, documentaries, comedy, vlogs, Ecourses, as well as all of Johnny and Elizabeth Enlow's content. There is something for everyone! Love it or hate it, media has exploded into each of our daily lives. We're consumed with consuming and our endless consumption has created a demand for more forms of media— each bringing its own troubling narrative. Media holds the potential to breathe life or death into culture because it's how all stories are ultimately communicated—including God's. The core function of media is communication. Communicating the Good News is key to unlocking the heart of culture and establishing the Kingdom of God on earth. God has invited us to partner with Him in creating an antidote for the poison of constant negative narratives. His story is one of hope and promise and He wants to share it with the world. Restore7.TV is for people who love God, are ready to care about what He cares about, and believe that no nation is too broken to be restored. Our goal is to echo a new narrative through media and digital entertainment.
