Background

Julie Roys, a Northwestern-trained journalist, worked at Moody Radio until she was fired in 2018, after she published an exposé of Moody Bible Institute. She then launched The Roys Report as an independent site that year. In 2022 it was set up as a nonprofit, The Roys Report NFP, with Roys as president. It is best known for investigations of prominent evangelical leaders and institutions, including Moody Bible Institute, Harvest Bible Chapel and James MacDonald, and Hillsong. Its more recent work includes reports on the preacher Kathryn Krick. The outlet is written from an openly evangelical perspective and holds ministries to biblical and ethical standards, so it reflects the outlet's faith commitments rather than a partisan program. It has faced criticism and legal pressure from some of its subjects. Critics such as Protestia have attacked its nonprofit status, and in April 2026 a Newsboys co-founder sued Roys and others. Its political coverage is limited, but it has reported on the evangelical advisers close to Trump, such as Samuel Rodriguez, and on a roughly $2 billion faith-based funding plan that the administration announced in August 2026. Those reports examined claims and money rather than taking a clear pro- or anti-administration line.
