You've read the Bible, maybe even grown up in church — but something about your faith still feels passive, theoretical, more about belief than practice. ActiveChristianity exists for that gap. Built by Brunstad Christian Church (BCC), it's a free web-based library of over 1,195 articles, 226 testimonies, 120+ videos, 362 downloadable wallpapers, and 33 curated playlists — all centered on one conviction: that genuine Christianity means living out God's Word, not just knowing it.^1
What sets ActiveChristianity apart from the thousands of devotional sites online is its singular editorial focus. Every piece of content — whether a 5-minute testimony, an animated Bible-word explainer, or a deep-dive Bible study — orbits the theme of active discipleship: overcoming sin through the power of the Holy Spirit, growing in sanctification, and experiencing personal transformation. Theme pages on topics like anxiety, self-image, prayer, and temptation organize the content into practical, searchable collections rather than a chronological blog feed.^2 Audio articles and song playlists let you engage while commuting, exercising, or winding down at the end of the day.^1
Brunstad Christian Church traces its roots to Norwegian naval officer Johan Oscar Smith, who dedicated his life to God in 1898 and began teaching that the early church's radical commitment to Christ-like living was still possible today. That conviction — victory over sin through the Holy Spirit — remains the heartbeat of ActiveChristianity's content nearly 130 years later. BCC now includes around 220 local churches worldwide across Europe, the Americas, Africa, and Asia.^3
Why Christians Love ActiveChristianity: "I believed in God and His Son, but was not living a Christian life. I didn't feel I needed to, either. But as life went on, I became more and more tired of it all." Øivind's testimony captures what draws many readers — a hunger for faith that goes beyond Sunday mornings.^4 Another contributor, Eric, wrote: "I never expected to become someone who believed in God. I grew up as an atheist; my goal in life was to find objective truths through science" — and found in ActiveChristianity a vision of Christianity that matched the radical claims of Scripture.^5 Andrea shared in a video testimony: "I just kind of saw it as like Jesus and God were up in heaven… But after that it was like, 'I know Jesus loves me, and thank you God for making me exactly the way I am.'"^6 Across the site, readers encounter voices from every stage of life — parents navigating faith in the home, young people wrestling with identity, former skeptics finding something real — all testifying that active obedience to God's Word produces genuine, lasting change.
