In its early years, INSP produced numerous original specials, concerts, and inspirational<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mtv.com/artists/mark-lowry/biography/ |title=Mark Lowry Bio &#124; Mark Lowry Career |publisher=MTV |access-date=2014-04-25}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|author=@InspirationMins |url=http://www.wheredopeoplego.com/about-the-film |title=Where Do People Go When They Die?Where Do People Go When They Die? |publisher=Wheredopeoplego.com |access-date=2014-04-25}}</ref> entertainment programs.

The development of original entertainment content became a focus after the 2010 re-brand,<ref>{{cite web|author=Weirton Daily Times |url=http://www.weirtondailytimes.com/page/content.detail/id/601295/City-native-holds-post-with-family-channel-in-N-C-.html?nav=5008 |title=City native holds post with family channel in N.C. - WeirtonDailyTimes.com &#124; news, sports, jobs - Weirton, Hancock County — Weirton Daily Times |publisher=WeirtonDailyTimes.com |date=2013-06-23 |access-date=2014-04-25}}</ref> beginning with ''A Walton’s Family Reunion'', starring surviving cast members of ''The Waltons'' who journey back to Walton's Mountain almost 30 years after the series ended its iconic run.

In 2011, a web network series entitled ''Moments'' was launched. Originally airing exclusively on INSP, ''Moments'' is an original, short-form inspirational video series that ranges in formats like documentary, narrative, and interviews, with each sharing an uplifting story. One of the featured short videos, ''"Thank You For Your Service"'',<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x2L3skZ7FEw|title=Thank You For Your Service (A Moment of Truth)|accessdate=Jan 16, 2023|via=www.youtube.com}}</ref> quickly went viral: it has been featured on [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]]’s '' [[The View (U.S. TV series)|The View]]'', the [[Pentagon Channel]], and [[USAA]]’s web site. It has been shown at several national conventions and conferences, including the [[American Legion]], [[Veterans of Foreign Wars]], [[Vietnam Veterans of America]], and [[Jewish War Veterans]]. In 2013, INSP was honored by the Vietnam War Commemoration for ''Thank You For Your Service''. General Claude “Mick” Kicklighter noted the video's impact: “This stirring tribute never fails to inspire deep emotions. It has helped bring healing and encouragement to true patriots, many of whom have felt taken for granted and ignored.”<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.vietnamwar50th.com/insp_teams_with_the_united_states_of_america_vietnam_war_commemoration_to_honor_vietnam_veterans_and_their_families/?pg=4 |title=INSP Teams with The United States of America Vietnam War Commemoration to Honor Vietnam Veterans and Their Families &#124; VWCC News - News &#124; Vietnam War Commemoration |publisher=Vietnamwar50th.com |date=2013-10-01 |access-date=2014-04-25}}</ref>
