Erick Stakelbeck is Host and Executive Producer of The Watchman, a cutting-edge newsmagazine delivering the inside story on what’s happening in Israel and the Middle East and why it matters to everyone.
The Watchman television show can be seen in primetime each week on TBN.
Stakelbeck also hosts The Watchman Newscast, which is seen exclusively on YouTube every weekday.
One week, he'll be on the Israel/Gaza border covering incoming Hamas missile attacks, and the next he's in Jerusalem exploring ancient caves from the time of King David, or walking in the footsteps of Jesus in Galilee.
In addition to global security and Biblical history/archaeology, The Watchman focuses on how Israel is blessing the world with incredible innovation and hi-tech breakthroughs, and stepping into its Biblical destiny as a light unto the nations.

EXCLUSIVE: I sat down with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for a no-holds-barred conversation about Israel’s future — from expanding the Abraham Accords and reshaping the Middle East, to confronting Iran’s grip on the region, and his partnership with President Trump in a new era of U.S.-Israel unity. We retraced the path from the horrors of the October 7 invasion to Israel’s stunning victory in the 12-Day War — a journey of pain, resilience, and ultimate triumph. What Bibi shared was a wake-up call the world cannot afford to ignore. WATCH the full interview on September 4th on TBN

Hey all, you may be wondering where I’ve been this week, with talk of impending deals both in Gaza and on Iran’s nuclear program, major Middle East developments for sure. I’m actually at home and on the mend after undergoing a minor surgical procedure. It all went very smoothly and I just need a few days of rest to recover. And then, with God’s help and blessing, I’ll be back with new daily updates on the channel as we navigate these prophetic, Bible times together. In the meantime, prayers for a speedy recovery are much appreciated. I’ll see you all very soon!

Hey all, I’m traveling today--on my way back from the Jerusalem Prayer Breakfast, a great event held at Mar-a-Lago in which hundreds of Christians and Jews lifted up Israel, the hostages and the incoming Trump administration in prayer. Be encouraged because God is on the move! I’m following events in the Middle East, including the hostage deal, very closely and will be back with you all tomorrow afternoon (Thursday, January 16th) for a Watchman Newscast Livestream filled with important updates. See you then and God bless!
