Early life

Stakelbeck had a working-class upbringing in Philadelphia, with his father, who was a factory electrician by trade, also being "an autodidact who loved to study biblical history."[3] Stakelbeck graduated from the Holy Family University in the same city.[6] While a long-time supporter of Israel, he also became increasingly drawn to studying the roots of Islamic terrorism after the September 11 attacks, and began writing articles for FrontPage Magazine.[3]

Television career

Stakelbeck worked as a senior writer and analyst at the Investigative Project on Terrorism from 2003 to 2005, and his articles appeared in several newspapers.[6] From 2005 he worked as a television correspondent, host and analyst for CBN News, where he covered "U.S. national security, the Middle East, Israel-related issues and the growth of radical Islam at home and abroad."[6] He has also been a regular contributor to The Blaze TV, and a regular guest on several Fox News shows.[6] He received the Ben Hecht Award for Outstanding Journalism from the Zionist Organization of America in 2014,[7] and a media "Truth" award from the Endowment for Middle East Truth in 2015.[8]

He began hosting The Watchman on TBN in 2016.[5] For his show, he has travelled throughout Israel, reporting from the borders of Gaza, Syria and Lebanon, and interviewing senior Israeli leaders.[3] He regularly highlights Israel's "strategic predicament", noting its proximity to radical Islamic terror groups such as Hezbollah and Hamas at its borders.[3] He also focuses on biblical end times prophecy, believing that "we live in prophetic times", and that "the miraculous rebirth of Israel ... set the prophetic time clock into overdrive".[9] In 2022, he recorded an exclusive interview with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.[10] He also became a correspondent for TBN's new Centerpoint, a nightly news and analysis program.[11]
