You want to stay informed about what's happening in the global Church — not through a partisan lens, but through the lens of Scripture. Christianity Today has been that trusted voice since 1956, when Billy Graham founded CT with a vision to "plant the evangelical flag in the middle of the road, taking the conservative theological position but a definite liberal approach to social problems."^1 Nearly seven decades later, that founding vision still animates everything CT publishes — now under the tagline "Seek the Kingdom."^2
Christianity Today is a nonprofit global media ministry reaching 40 million people annually with in-depth reporting, theological commentary, long-form storytelling, and cultural analysis — all rooted in biblical orthodoxy and a commitment to the global body of Christ.^3 The flagship magazine publishes six bi-monthly print issues per year alongside daily digital content on ChristianityToday.com, covering news, theology, church life, books, history, and the arts. In May 2026, CT launched its first mobile app for iOS and Android — offering a personalized daily briefing, curated homepage, podcast listening, and devotional reflections in a mobile-first experience.^4
CT produces a growing portfolio of podcasts: The Bulletin (a twice-weekly roundtable with Clarissa Moll, Mike Cosper, and Russell Moore), The Russell Moore Show, Devil and the Deep Blue Sea (from the creators of The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill), Being Human with Steve Cuss, The Just Life with Benjamin Watson, Wonderology (a science-and-faith series in partnership with BioLogos), This Great and Complicated Place, Be Afraid with Kutter Callaway, Music & Meaning with Charlie Peacock, and more.^5 The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill remains one of the most talked-about podcasts of the decade, drawing comparisons to Serial for its investigative depth and production quality.^6 Other CT brands include CT Pastors (leadership resources, now incorporating Preaching Today), SmallGroups.com, and Inkwell (a creative arts publication).^7
With 38% of its audience outside the United States, 40% aged 18–34, 1.5 million annual non-English readers, and 6.5 million annual podcast listeners, CT serves as a unifying voice across denominations, generations, and continents.^3 The organization's "One Kingdom" campaign is raising $32 million through its 70th anniversary (2026) to expand global, next-gen, and "big tent" initiatives.^3 CT is led by President & CEO Nicole Massie Martin and Editor-in-Chief Marvin Olasky, with Russell Moore continuing as Editor-at-Large and Columnist.^8
Why Christians Love CT:
"CT is always trying to listen and have an honest conversation around difficult topics. CT brings things to light that other people don't want to address, but it's not to be provocative. CT is willing to take some risks, to make culture, to talk about important issues that other people don't know how to talk about." — Sandra McCracken, singer/songwriter^7
"I do not know of any other resource that is seeking to understand the world and the gospel in the ways CT is." — Darrell Johnson, retired pastor and professor^7
"Christianity Today was the tool God used to give us direction, practical inspiration, and a clear strategy." — Leandro Silva, missionary in Natal, Brazil^7
