Manager of Music & Streaming Content

Hope Media Group is a multi-brand ministry. Every story we share, every event we host, and every song we play is done to engage people to love Jesus, serve others, and spread Hope. Hope Media Group is the home of KSBJ, WayFM, Worship 24/7, Vida Unida, NGEN radio. Way Loud, Way New, Way Back, Gospel 24/7, God Listens Prayer App and Hope Events.

Our team describes our environment as fun, encouraging, collaborative, engaging, caring, family-oriented, and friendly. The Next Digital Product is Hope Media Group's first digital product: a music app built for Christians, offering a generosity-funded alternative to ad-driven and algorithm-driven streaming. Rather than inferring what to play from behavioral data, the Next Digital Product starts by asking how you’re doing and curates a path in response.

It's built to give back to the people who use it, not extract from them.
