Brent Dusing to Join CPAC Christian Persecution Summit

Brent Dusing, Managing Partner of Gideon Ventures and CEO of TruPlay, will speak at CPAC's Christian Persecution Summit on October 30, 2025, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in the Terrace Theatre, addressing a form of persecution many overlook: the systematic censorship and digital discrimination against Christian content in the spaces where children spend the majority of their formative years. 

Dusing has become a leading voice exposing how Google and TikTok censor faith-driven content while promoting harmful entertainment. TruPlay ads, which describe their games as "safe, fun, and faith-filled gaming for everyone", have been flagged and banned while ads from Roblox and Diablo, featuring violent, graphic images aimed at kids, run freely on the same platforms. This battle represents a new frontier in the fight for religious freedom—one where Big Tech companies function as modern-day persecutors, silencing Christian voices while amplifying destructive content.

Dusing pioneered game creation with Christian content through Lightside Games, a Christian gaming studio reaching more than 7 million game players worldwide. As founder and CEO of Cellfire, he created the nation's leading mobile coupon company used today at grocers like Safeway and Kroger. But his most urgent work came when he recognized a devastating reality: only 31% of children believe in God, while just 2% hold a "Biblical worldview", with depression and suicide among children at all-time highs. This crisis drove him to create TruPlay through Gideon Ventures—a faith-based entertainment platform growing and outperforming multibillion-dollar kids apps like Minecraft and Roblox and endorsed by the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, Promise Keepers, Christianity Today, and Dave Ramsey's organization. Dusing explains the urgency: "Fifty-two-and-a-half hours is the average amount of time a child spends on a screen. They're only at church 30 minutes a week". 

When he attempts to advertise this Christian alternative, tech giants ban his content while permitting harmful material to flourish—a form of persecution that targets the youngest and most vulnerable. At the Summit, attendees will hear from a technology leader who has spent his career building successful companies and now uses that expertise to combat the cultural persecution that seeks to erase Christian truth from the digital spaces shaping our children's future.
