Awesome Science Media

What Awesome Science Media does

Awesome Science Media (ASM) is a privately-held, family-operated faith-based media production company that creates documentary, educational, youth, and adventure video content presenting a Biblical worldview of science. Founded in 2010 by Emmy-nominated producer Kyle Justice as a division of Compel Media, LLC, ASM operates from the Pacific Northwest with a mailing address in Amherst, VA, and maintains a small team consisting principally of the Justice family of ten (parents and eight children, several of whom appear on-camera). The company's catalog spans 30+ titles across distinct series including the field-trip documentary Awesome Science (hosted by Noah Justice), the geology-focused Flood Geology Series, the astronomy series The Heavens Declare, the apologetics curriculum Debunking Evolution (executive produced with Genesis Apologetics), the dinosaur reality series Dino Hunter, Ocean Odyssey (marine biology), Creeping Things, The Creation Guys, and the youth-targeted Science Foundations and Awesome Creatures. Production technology centers on HD video with a 4K format upgrade underway; content is delivered across physical DVD (retail $14.99-$15 per title, $60 box sets), a proprietary subscription video-on-demand platform AwesomeSciTV at $7.99/month, Patreon with tiered rewards, broadcast licensing to global Christian TV networks, the 52-episode AwesomeSciRadio weekly program, and an affiliate program for radio stations.

ASM serves a defined niche: Christian homeschool families, Christian schools, churches and ministries, and faith-affiliated broadcasters seeking science education that supports the Authority of Scripture rather than evolutionary theory. It monetizes through five distinct revenue streams — one-time DVD sales (retail and wholesale at up to 60% off for bulk ministry orders of 100+ units), recurring SVOD subscription, broadcast licensing for 2-3 year terms, ministry premium offers positioned for fundraising campaigns, and affiliate referral commissions. Distribution is global, with programming airing in North America, Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia/New Zealand and via Roku; content is translated into up to 25 languages. The company has been positioned through credentialed creation-science experts (Dr. Steve Austin, Dr. Danny Faulkner, Dr. Jason Lisle, Dr. Russ Humphreys, etc.) and through long-standing partnerships with Answers in Genesis (since 1997), Institute for Creation Research, Creation Ministries International, CSN, Focus on the Family, Genesis Apologetics, Pat Roy / Creation Quest, New Leaf Publishing (exclusive retail distributor for the Awesome Science series), and Master Books (initial 2010-2011 distributor).

The structural profile is that of a founder-led niche media business — owner-operator Kyle Justice controls strategy and creative direction through Compel Media, LLC, with no institutional investors or disclosed external funding. Revenue and headcount are not publicly disclosed; the company has an NRB (National Religious Broadcasters) membership and an active social footprint across eight platforms. Operational tempo is set by a 36-foot motorhome-based production model, with the family traveling full-time to capture remote locations, which simultaneously constrains scale and produces distinctive, family-integrated on-camera talent that competitors lack.

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Focus on the Family: Major Christian ministry that carries ASM programming and produces its own extensive family/education media. A larger incumbent in Christian family media with overlapping audience but much broader content scope.
• Moody Bible Institute: Major evangelical media and education organization; founder Kyle Justice's early-career employer. Comparable as a Christian media and education organization with a much broader content portfolio and institutional scale.
• Summit Ministries: Christian worldview education organization producing curriculum, conferences, and media. Adjacent to ASM as a broader Christian-worldview education provider, overlapping on worldview-defending content for students and families.
• The Great Courses (The Teaching Company): Premium video-based science and education content company with subscription and DVD distribution. Comparable in business model (expert-led educational video, multi-channel distribution, owned SVOD) but operating in a secular, science-only lane.

Direct peers

• Creation Ministries International: International creation-science ministry producing videos, articles, and educational material defending a young-earth Biblical worldview. Overlaps with ASM on creation-science content creation and global ministry distribution.
• Master Books: Christian science curriculum and book publisher; ASM's original distributor for the Awesome Science series. Produces competing creation-based science curriculum and is both partner and adjacent content competitor.
• Vision Video: Long-established faith-based video distribution company producing and distributing Christian and family-friendly documentaries. Comparable as a peer in physical/DVD and digital distribution of Christian documentary content.
• Christian Cinema: Retailer and streaming platform for Christian and family-friendly films, carrying ASM-adjacent titles. Comparable as a Christian video distribution and streaming platform competing for the same faith-based audience.
• Answers in Genesis: The flagship young-earth creation ministry, which both distributes ASM programming and produces its own extensive video, book, and curriculum content. Directly comparable as a creation-science content producer serving the same faith-based audience.
• Institute for Creation Research: Creation-science research and education organization that carries ASM programming and produces its own media, curriculum, and speaking content. Comparable as a peer in creation-science educational media targeting the same homeschool/Christian-school audience.
