In 1979, God clearly spoke to Bayless about preaching the Word of God on television.

“The possibility of this happening seemed as far away as the moon,” says Bayless about God’s calling to preach the Gospel on TV. “Yet I wrote it down on a 3 x 5 note card, which I still have.” 

It was just a few years later that the ministry aired its first broadcast.  What seemed impossible at one point was now more real than ever. “I remember when we first went on television. It was well over two decades ago. We were on public access television—channel bazillion and five—in the middle of the night.”

Since then, God has opened the television airwaves to our Answers program across the United States and around the world. Currently we are privileged to air the broadcast each week, in a number of different languages, in more than 100 nations on major television channels all over the globe.

Answers with Bayless Conley brings the practical teaching of the Bible in a non-religious way. The program appeals to an audience comprised of all backgrounds, ages, and cultures, because the underwritten message is:

”There are answers in the Word of God.” We believe we should always have a worldwide focus, especially in areas which do not have gospel broadcasts. We have been privileged to pioneer a number of channels around the world, including Zee TV in India and CNBC in Europe. 

“For years I struggled with drugs and alcohol while searching for answers,” says Bayless. “It wasn’t until I was more than 20 years of age that a 12-year-old boy showed me the powerful reality of a relationship with Christ. Jesus was The Answer I was looking for, yet nobody had made His message real and understandable to me. “I never forget where I came from, nor how broken and hurting I once was before a simple and clear Gospel message changed my life. Because of this, I strive to make the message of Christ understandable and relevant to the everyday lives of people.”


“Even as a young Christian, I was still so filled with questions. I saw a guy in the park one day, and he had a sticker on his guitar case. It said ‘Answers—they are in the Bible.” I was so struck by that, that I went out and got one, myself, and put it on my guitar case. That is where the name for our broadcast came from, because the answers to life will only be found in the Bible.

Answers online presence ministers to an audience around the world. Through our streaming audio and video, extensive sermon notes and teaching resources collection, and e-store, we are bringing a living Jesus to a group of people that might never watch us on television.

However you interact with Answers, our prayer is that God will use this ministry to help you and others learn more about our living Jesus and how a relationship with Him can give the answers to the deepest needs of your heart!
