IN THE MEDIA
OUR MISSION
At Defender Publishing, we are a Christian-based publishing company committed to reshaping the traditional publishing landscape by tackling topics that the mainstream Church often overlooks. While we offer the same national distribution opportunities as other publishers, we distinguish ourselves by focusing on innovative post-production promotion through visual and audio media. In partnership with SkyWatch Television and a network of ministries and organizations, we amplify the voices of our authors through dynamic media platforms, ensuring their messages reach a broad audience.
Our mission is not only to provide a space for faith-based stories, but to address the pressing and often controversial issues of our time. We are unafraid to explore subjects such as the Nephilim of Genesis 6, the gods of the old pagan world, transhumanism, occult symbolism in society, and hidden theological pursuits that deepen our understanding of God and His will. Guided by the example of our late founder, Dr. Thomas Horn, we are committed to answering the hard questions and tackling uncomfortable truths, with the goal of reaching all people—not just the mainstream choir. We seek to be bold and relevant, covering the crucial issues of today with a Christian perspective that speaks to the soul of a world in need of deeper understanding.
​
We believe that an author’s message should transcend the page, which is why we give equal weight to their ability to engage through audio and visual media. Our holistic approach ensures that every book we publish has the opportunity for sustained impact, equipping both authors and readers to boldly pursue truth and faith in an ever-evolving world.
