Trashy, the top spender here, has run roughly 7 to 8 ads on the show. For a buyer, that mix means one thing: this is a coded-offer feed built to move product, not a soft awareness play. Spotsnow estimates all of this from tracked advertiser activity, not audience surveys. Read the full profile for Elevation with Steven Furtick on Spotsnow.

Why Elevation with Steven Furtick is built for host-read direct response

Steven Furtick hosts, and he's the lead pastor of Elevation Church, which is the whole draw: a preacher speaking to a congregation that already trusts his voice. The show sits in the religious institutions space, and Spotsnow attributes a 100% direct-response share to its ad mix. That's not a rounding artifact. Nearly every read carries a code, a URL, or a promo that ties a sale back to the placement, which is why the show reaches an estimated 307,000 listeners and advertisers keep booking it.

The format is the argument. A sermon holds attention the way a talk-show monologue does: people lean in for the whole arc, not clips. When a message runs to its point, the ad break inherits that same patience instead of getting skipped. A host-read borrows the trust the pastor has already built, so the offer lands as counsel rather than an interruption. That sustained attention is exactly what a direct-response advertiser needs for a code to actually get typed in.

Influence shows up in the reviews. Spotsnow data shows an Apple Podcasts rating of 4.8 across roughly 13,800 to 16,100 ratings. The audience skews female and skews toward young to mid adults, spread across a broad, middle-income range and heavily concentrated in the US. Its pull is concentrated in the feed itself, in the listening and the ratings, rather than spread thin across social channels. For an advertiser, that's the good kind of concentration: the attention is where your ad runs.

The anchor advertisers, broken down

Trashy

Trashy is a direct-response consumer brand. Spotsnow estimates its total spend on the show at over $10K across roughly 7 to 8 ads, classified fully direct-response. It fits a mass, US, value-minded household audience, the kind of listener who acts on a clean offer the first time they hear it.

Bobbie

Bobbie sells mom-founded organic infant formula. Spotsnow estimates its total spend here at over $9K, classified direct-response. A female-skewing audience in prime parenting years is close to a bullseye for a formula subscription, which is why the read converts here in a way it wouldn't on a general-interest feed.

Optimum

Optimum is a connectivity and telecom brand. Spotsnow estimates its total spend on the show at over $9K, classified direct-response. It's a national spender chasing a broad US household base, and this feed delivers exactly that footprint at scale.

Worth flagging: Trashy and Optimum are large national spenders brand-wide, but their tracked spend on this specific show is modest. The point isn't the dollar figure. It's that both keep coming back to a faith feed, which tells you the audience performs for very different product categories.

All spend figures are Spotsnow estimates.

Why religion and spirituality brands cluster here

A pastor's endorsement carries a kind of weight most hosts can't manufacture. When Furtick reads an offer, it arrives filtered through the authority he holds with a congregation that shows up every week by choice. That's the mechanism behind a 100% direct-response mix: the audience isn't just tolerating ads, they're acting on them, which is why formula, telecom, and consumer brands all find footing on the same feed. The mindset matters too. Faith listeners tend to buy on trust and follow-through, so a coded read from a voice they respect converts better than a slick spot from a stranger. That combination, a trusted host plus a decisive audience, is what pulls direct-response money into a category that outsiders assume is purely awareness.

What makes a show like this convert

1. The format sells. Sermon-length attention carries through the ad break, so a host-read gets heard instead of skipped.
2. Host credibility does the heavy lifting. Furtick's authority with his congregation transfers to the offer, which is why every tracked read is direct-response.
3. The audience acts. An estimated 307,000 listeners, skewing female and US-based, buy on trust and follow through on a clear offer.
4. Buyers repeat. Trashy's roughly 7 to 8 ads show the math works: brands don't book a coded read that many times unless it pays back.

Elevation with Steven Furtick in a nutshell

The listener is a young to mid adult, US-based, female-skewing follower of Steven Furtick who shows up weekly. Anchor buyers like Trashy, Bobbie, and Optimum run coded direct-response reads, sitting next to mainstream names like Starbucks and Kia. Spotsnow shows no large network on file, so the show is bought direct and quoted per campaign rather than off a rate card. If you're weighing a buy, treat this as a direct-response feed with attribution built in, not an awareness placement.
