James Robison Ministry
Robison was fired from his regular spot on WFAA-TV in Dallas in 1979 after presenting a sermon condemning homosexuality as a sin. When he called for “God’s people to come out of the closet” and reclaim the country, he had already created a name for himself. In response, Robison organized a 10,000-strong “Freedom Rally” at the Dallas Convention Center. That rally, according to Mike Huckabee, Robison’s communications director at the time, was the birthplace of Moral Majority.
During the early 1980s, Robison emerged to become one of the most prominent and popular conservative evangelical figures in politics. Some speculated that he would one day inherit Reverend Graham’s illustrious mantle. Robison, on the other hand, abruptly ceased his political activity in the mid-1980s. Instead, he began to concentrate on his own church community, church unity, and forgiveness.
His demanding schedule, he admitted, had absorbed him, and his rapid rise to fame, combined with an increasing yearning for more such adoration, had transformed him into someone he no longer recognized and disliked. Betty, his wife, agreed with him on this point. He switched from evangelicalism to the charismatic movement at this time, abandoning the Southern Baptist Convention in the process. He and his wife Betty attend Gateway Church, a DFW megachurch led by Robert Morris. Robison, on the other hand, has recently resurfaced in social conservative circles. In 2010, he hosted a meeting in Dallas with numerous notable conservative Christian leaders, including Richard Land and Tony Perkins, to discuss preparations to succeed Barack Obama as president in 2012 by electing a more socially conservative candidate.
