“I see Christianity Today as a voice of gospel hope, a source for stories and ideas that reflect the heart of God. I appreciate that CT’s stories regularly cause me to consider things that I hadn’t considered before or see things from an angle that perhaps I didn’t see before.” These words from Billy Graham’s grandson Stephan Tchividjian remind us of the importance of Christianity Today’s ministry. Your year-end gift is more than a donation; it’s a partnership in our mission to share the stories and ideas of the Kingdom of God. All gifts made through December 31 will be matched up to $400,000.

How do you sum up an entire year? We’re taking a stab at it by revisiting some of our biggest stories from 2024. From students reading John Mark Comer to a review of “Bonhoeffer,” these articles offer a snapshot of the interests, hopes, and fears of evangelicals in America and around the world.

An unprompted smile. A childlike cartwheel. A dance party. “Our bodies, words, and actions are more than simply passive reflections of our emotions; they are active participants in how those emotions are shaped.”

Arab Baptist Theological Seminary has served almost 250 individuals displaced in Lebanon. “Evangelicals are the best people. There is no sectarian spirit or self-interest. They just cared for us,” said one Shiite man about ABTS.

“When my grandma died, when my brother died, when I miscarried my baby, God’s presence didn’t feel like easy oxygen or reliable gravity. It felt more like a friend walking through the door, turning on a lamp. It felt personal, particular, located, new.”

Olivet University is vowing to stay open despite a California state judge’s ruling that bars the school from enrolling new students and requires current students to be sent to other schools.

“Many who began the journey of Christian adoption advocacy are still at it but are markedly changed. Most bear invisible scars. Their early enthusiasm has been humbled, their idealism chastened. Yet many also evidence surprisingly buoyant hearts and spiritual depth. How did they get there? What can fellow believers committed to justice and mercy learn from the passion, pain, and perseverance of the orphan care movement?”

In 2024, CT published hundreds of global stories and translated 1,300 stories into more than a dozen languages. Your support helps us continue to elevate more redemptive stories from around the world. Learn more & give: https://lnkd.in/gwbH_PCn
