CT Daily Briefing

Today’s Briefing

Behind the Story

At the end of each year, we curate several categories of CT articles that we think are worth returning to. Over the next few days, we will share lists of news stories, print stories, leaders lost, testimonies, stories you may have missed, and more. You can also read this year’s top ten discoveries in biblical archaeology, along with our most-read stories of the global church. Today, we are sharing our list of 2025’s big stories, book reviews, and podcasts

In reviewing stories from throughout the year, may you be reminded of the ways God has provided, moved, and comforted. Whether mourning the loss of leaders, contemplating thoughtful Ideas pieces, or engaging in the news, these stories remind us that we are currently living through history, and it is all ultimately in God’s hands.


Because Christ Reigns, The Church Can Flourish

Isaiah tells us of the coming Messiah, "Of the greatness of His government and peace there will be no end." At Christianity Today, we believe that because Christ reigns, the Church can flourish—even in a world that still aches for His peace.

Through in-depth journalism, redemptive storytelling, and resources that disciple believers, CT helps the global Church live faithfully in this "already and not yet" Kingdom—seeing the world through the lens of Christ’s truth and hope.

As one reader shared, "CT helps us learn to be faithful and see the world in a faithful way."

Will you join us with a tax-deductible gift before December 31 to help our ministry strengthen the Church for generations to come? Give now.

in the magazine

As we enter the holiday season, we consider how the places to which we belong shape us—and how we can be the face of welcome in a broken world. In this issue, you’ll read about how a monastery on Patmos offers quiet in a world of noise and, from Ann Voskamp, how God’s will is a place to find home. Read about modern missions terminology in our roundtable feature and about an astrophysicist’s thoughts on the Incarnation. Be sure to linger over Andy Olsen’s reported feature "An American Deportation" as we consider Christian responses to immigration policies. May we practice hospitality wherever we find ourselves.
