The Shaun Tabatt Show

What if your Instagram feed could save someone's soul? Jacqulyne Horbrook — founder of Black Christian Influencers and author of How to Be a Christian Influencer — joins Shaun Tabatt to share how she transformed social media from a distraction into a digital ministry.

Jackie's journey started not on a stage, but in a classroom where she watched students glued to their phones and realized the gospel needed to meet people where they already were. What began as a way to reach distracted students exploded into a community of Christian creators learning to use their platforms for kingdom impact.

In this conversation you'll discover:

• How a former university diversity director accidentally became a Christian influencer
• Why Jackie's street-preacher father shaped her entire vision for social media ministry
• What actually separates a Christian influencer from someone who just happens to be Christian
• The surprising cautionary tale of Lucifer — and what it reveals about misused influence
• How to steward a growing platform without your ego getting in the way
• The 4 components of influence: vulnerability, transparency, originality, and relatability
• Why Jesus was the most viral influencer who ever lived
• What metrics God is actually counting on your channel
• How to survive algorithm changes, comparison, and creator burnout
• Practical strategies for longevity: pacing, stockpiling content, and staying grounded offline

Whether you're a pastor, an author, a ministry leader, or a believer with a phone and a calling, this episode will challenge and equip you to make social media a social ministry.

In 1980, Bryan Melvin was a self-described militant atheist living a reckless lifestyle when he contracted cholera after drinking contaminated water on a construction job in Arizona.

Within hours, he collapsed.

Bryan says he left his body, underwent a life review, stood before Jesus in judgment, and descended into a terrifying realm he describes as hell — where he saw his own cell waiting.

In this powerful conversation, Bryan shares how that experience transformed him, what he learned about grace and accountability, and why he believes Jesus rescued him.

This episode explores questions about eternity, judgment, mercy, and the life-changing power of faith.

Why does revival so often begin with people no one would ever expect?

In this episode, Shaun Tabatt sits down with Pulitzer Prize–nominated investigative journalist and bestselling author Troy Anderson to explore a recurring pattern found throughout history and Scripture: God using unlikely, imperfect, and often controversial individuals to spark moments of spiritual awakening.

Drawing from his new book, Designated Disrupter: Trump and Other Unlikely Agents of Revival, Troy discusses why disruption frequently precedes renewal, why chaos may signal opportunity rather than collapse, and what a modern "Nineveh moment" could look like in today's cultural climate.

This conversation touches on faith, leadership, revival, and the tension between institutional stability and transformational change—challenging listeners to reconsider how awakening begins and who it comes through.

Whether you agree or disagree, this episode invites thoughtful reflection on leadership, belief, and the role individuals play during pivotal moments in history.
