About Us
Point of View is a live, nationwide talk radio program heard daily since 1972. With a firm commitment to God’s Word as the source of all wisdom needed for today’s culture, Kerby Anderson and the Point of View team leave no topic untouched. Point of View’s loyal listening audience thrives on daily interviews and interaction with prominent subject-matter experts, including faith leaders, conservative activists, influential authors, and others.
For over 50 years, Point of View has thoroughly covered the full spectrum of issues and current events that affect faith, family, government, education, and our Constitutional freedoms. But Kerby and the Point of View team don’t just talk about these issues. They offer listeners the advice and resources they need to make a difference — on both a personal and national level.
