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 over 42 million users worldwide.^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.^3 While many Christian news outlets cover faith broadly, Charisma has spent a half-century specifically rooted in the Pentecostal and charismatic tradition.^1
