Converge Podcast Network

What Converge Podcast Network does

Converge Podcast Network is a Cleveland-based podcast network operating as a brand under Front Porch Media Network, LLC. It curates, produces, and distributes 11+ faith-centered podcasts spanning theology, daily devotionals, relationships, parenting, leadership, and comedy, serving Christian audiences seeking content that connects faith to everyday life. Notable shows include Theology in the Raw (hosted by Dr. Preston Sprinkle), Hearing Jesus, Leadership Lean In (with Pastor Chad Veach), Pass the Mic (with Rev. Tyler Burns and Dr. Jemar Tisby), Sidetracked, The David Nurse Show, and the recently added Janine Turner's God on the Go.

The network operates a creator-first platform model, recruiting podcasters through its "Join Converge" program and offering full production support (editors, show runners), cross-promotional audience growth, and monetization opportunities. Shows are distributed across major global podcast platforms including Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, iHeartRadio, and Pocket Casts, reaching over 1 million monthly streams. The underlying technology is conventional podcast hosting and marketplace distribution rather than proprietary infrastructure; no APIs, SDKs, or notable technical differentiation is disclosed. Marketing and audience engagement run through Instagram, Twitter/X, Facebook, YouTube, and TikTok.

Revenue is generated primarily through brand partnerships and advertising, with custom sponsorship approaches connecting advertisers to the engaged faith-based audience. Three named brand partners — Five Lakes Coffee, Athletic Greens, and Field Of Greens — illustrate the ad-supported model. The company is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds, headcount, or financial metrics. Strategic positioning within the broader Evergreen Podcasts ecosystem (alongside Rhapsody Voices) provides operational and distribution synergies, while Converge itself maintains a focused vertical segmentation on faith-based audiences.

Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• CBN Podcasts (Christian Broadcasting Network): Established Christian media organization producing a broad slate of podcasts and broadcast content. Comparable in target audience and faith-content vertical, but much larger and diversified across TV, streaming, and publishing rather than pure podcast network operations.
• SiriusXM Podcasts: Large incumbent distributing and monetizing podcasts across many genres, including faith-adjacent talk programming. Comparable in ad-sales-driven network model, though it serves a much broader audience and is bundled into a satellite/streaming subscription business.
• iHeartPodcasts: One of the largest U.S. podcast publishers, distributing thousands of shows and operating a national ad-sales network. Overlaps with Converge in distribution and ad monetization, but operates at vastly greater scale across all genres, not specialized in faith content.
• Wondery: Major podcast publisher (Amazon-owned) producing and monetizing premium narrative and faith-adjacent content at scale. Comparable as a multi-show network with creator services and brand advertising, though its portfolio is far broader than faith.

Direct peers

• Evergreen Podcasts: Converge's parent network under Front Porch Media Network. Operates the same multi-show podcast publishing model with production, monetization, and cross-promotion services — making it the closest operational and strategic peer.
• Rhapsody Voices: Sibling podcast network under the same Front Porch Media Network parent. Operates the same multi-show, cross-promotion-driven network model with shared back-office, sales, and creator services.

Emerging players

• Faithit: Faith-based digital media platform producing articles, videos, and podcasts for Christian audiences. Comparable to Converge in audience focus and faith-content monetization, though it is broader than a pure podcast network.
• Hume (faith-based podcast platform): Faith-aligned audio/podcast community platform focused on spiritual and devotional content. Comparable in that it targets the same faith-based listener with podcast-adjacent audio content, though its model skews more community/interactive than network publishing.
