James Robison is the Founder and Publisher of The Stream. He also is the founder of LIFE Outreach International and host of the daily television program LIFE Today, an inspirational series that broadcasts worldwide. In addition to the daily program, LIFE engages in evangelistic outreaches and humanitarian efforts internationally. Robison and his team have helped drill water wells around the world, feed people in crisis situations, establish orphanages and schools, build homes for the homeless and rescue children from sex trafficking.
Over the past 50 years, Robison has preached in over 600 citywide evangelistic crusades attended by more than 20 million people. He has focused on national and international issues throughout his career and has authored many books. In 2012 he teamed with Jay W. Richards to write The New York Times bestselling book Indivisible: Restoring Faith, Family, and Freedom Before It’s Too Late.
In 2003, Robison began writing weekly commentaries, and in 2010, he began meeting with key evangelical and Catholic leaders and praying diligently about how to work together for a unified public witness. The Stream was birthed through that process.
