If we cannot trust Big Tech as a neutral gatekeeper, how do we protect the privacy of our most sensitive conversations?

“Most Americans think ‘encrypted’ means nobody can see anything—but Big Tech messengers still collect rich metadata: who you talk to, when, how often, and from where. That trail is often just as revealing as the message itself.” — Janice Trey

Churches and ministry‑based organizations are handling more sensitive information than ever—pastoral counseling, charitable assistance, donor discussions, internal leadership decisions—yet much of that communication still happens over ordinary email, text, or big‑tech messaging apps that were never designed with spiritual confidentiality in mind.

In an era of data leaks, social‑media pressure campaigns, and growing concern about how platforms handle private content, your audience is asking: What does digital “confidentiality” look like for the Church? And how do ministries protect their flock when so much ministry now happens online?

I’d like to offer Janice Trey, spokesperson for SafeMeet and Board Chair of The Epoch Times & NTD TV, for an interview on why faith‑based and ministry organizations should move their most important conversations to a secure, encrypted platform.

Janice can speak in clear, non‑technical language to:

Why prayer requests, pastoral counseling, and benevolence conversations deserve the same level of protection as legal or medical information.
How common tools (email, basic texting, and mainstream chat apps) can expose ministries to privacy, reputational, and even legal risk.
The difference between “private” and encrypted communications—and what that practically means for churches, missionaries, and nonprofits.
Simple steps any ministry can take this month to transition staff, volunteers, and key lay leaders to a more secure communication platform.
How ministries can protect both their members and their mission while still being accessible and engaged online.

Janice is based in New York City and available for TV, radio, and podcast interviews, as well as faith‑focused digital shows. She brings a unique blend of technology, media, and free‑speech experience that resonates with faith‑based audiences who want to be wise stewards of the information entrusted to them.

Would you be open to considering Janice for an upcoming segment on digital safety for churches and ministries?
