===''Travel the Road'' in Afghanistan===
TBN produces and airs the Christian [[reality television|reality]] show ''[[Travel the Road]]'', which features missionaries Tim Scott and Will Decker in remote and often war-torn locations. In December 2008, the program attracted criticism from the [[Military Religious Freedom Foundation]] (MRFF), a watchdog group that looks for [[religious discrimination]] in the [[United States military]], which claimed that Scott and Decker were embedded with U.S. troops stationed in [[Afghanistan]]. According to MRFF president Mikey Weinstein, the military exercises a "complete prohibition of the proselytizing of any religion, faith, or practice...You see [Scott and Decker] wearing American helmets. It is obvious they were completely embedded." When [[ABC News]] contacted the [[U.S. Army]] in Afghanistan about Scott and Decker's alleged embed, which had taken place four years previously, they said that they no longer had the documentation of the missionaries' status with the troops.<ref name="abcnews.go.com">{{cite web|title=Missionaries Face Death, Criticism to Preach|url=https://abcnews.go.com/Nightline/FaithMatters/Story?id=6786701&page=3|work=[[ABC News]]|date=February 2, 2009}}</ref>

Scott defended the trip to Afghanistan, telling ABC, "It wasn't like we were hiding in the back saying we're going to preach. [The military] knew what we were doing. We told them that we were born again Christians, we're here doing ministry, we shoot for this TV station and we want to embed and see what it was like. We were interviewing the chaplains and we talked to them. We spoke at the services and things like that. So we did do our mission being over there as far as being able to document what the soldiers go through, what it's like in Afghanistan. So I could say that we were on a secular mission as well as far as documenting. I would say we were news reporters as well, we were delivering news of what was actually happening there, but we were also there to document the Christian side." Scott argued that since the pair were acting as Christian journalists, they had the same right to cover the war in Afghanistan as secular networks.<ref name="abcnews.go.com"/>
