D. James Kennedy Ministries (DJKM), formerly “Coral Ridge Ministries,” is an evangelical Christian media outreach founded by minister and evangelist D. James Kennedy in 1974.[1] The group is listed as an anti-LGBT hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) due to statements and positions which the SPLC describes as falsely demeaning gay and lesbian people.[2]
Best known in the 1980s and 1990s for its flagship one-hour television program, The Coral Ridge Hour, which claimed an audience of three million nationwide,[3] D. James Kennedy Ministries now broadcasts a weekly half-hour TV program Truths That Transform. Hosted by ministry president, Rev. Robert J. Pacienza,[4] Truths That Transform airs nationwide on four cable networks and seeks to give a “biblical perspective” on “moral and cultural controversies.”[5] The program includes interviews, news segments, and video excerpts from sermons preached by D. James Kennedy (1930–2007), the former senior minister of Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
DJKM airs sermons preached by Kennedy on its weekly half-hour program, Kennedy Classics.[6] Truth in Action Radio is an Internet-only program featuring weekly messages from Kennedy.[7]
