Pillar Media announced that Chief Programming Officer Matt Stockman will leave the organization on Aug. 31 following more than six years with the ministry. Stockman joined Pillar Media in 2020 and oversaw programming strategy and content development across the organization's media platforms.

Executive Director Art Garza credited Stockman with helping strengthen the ministry's mission of encouraging people in their faith through media outreach.

"Matt's leadership and expertise have made a lasting impact on our organization," Garza said. "While we never enjoy losing great talent, we've long known this entrepreneurial path was something he felt called toward."

Stockman said he is stepping away to expand his consulting business serving nonprofit and Christian radio organizations nationwide.

"I've loved every moment of my time with Pillar Media," Stockman said. "I believe God has opened the door for this next chapter, and I look forward to using my experience and gifts to help other organizations make an impact for the Kingdom."

Pillar Media said it will begin a search for a new chief programming officer while continuing its focus on Christian-centered programming across its five local markets. The organization said its media outlets currently reach more than one million people each week.
