Informing believers with news from a Spirit-filled perspective
Looking for Christian news that goes beyond the headlines? Charisma News delivers 24/7 breaking news coverage through the lens of what the Holy Spirit is doing in the world — covering everything from revival movements and prophetic insight to culture, Israel, and the global church.^1
Born out of Charisma magazine, which Stephen Strang founded in 1975 as a 24-year-old journalist in Florida, Charisma News grew into its own brand under the Charisma Media umbrella.^2 What started as award-winning print coverage of the charismatic movement expanded through a news wire service, television specials, and eventually a robust digital platform reaching millions of readers each month on MyCharisma.com.^3 The Charisma Podcast Network alone has amassed over 78 million downloads, broadcasting Spirit-filled content across more than 150 nations.^3
In 2025, Charisma Media celebrated its 50th anniversary — five decades of documenting and championing what the Spirit is doing around the world, from revival reports to prophetic voices to stories of supernatural encounters. Strang marked the milestone by reflecting that the magazine has been "a prophetic watchman on the wall for the Pentecostal and charismatic church," chronicling moves of God from the Jesus People revival to the Toronto Blessing and beyond.^7 While many Christian news outlets cover faith broadly, Charisma has spent a half-century specifically rooted in the Pentecostal and charismatic tradition.^1
