|
Our top stories from around the world this year, from pastors ministering at suicide cliffs to the release of a Chinese missionary from prison. |
|
The most-read testimonies of 2025, with people coming out of neo-Nazism, sickness, and abandonment and into Christ’s love. |
|
Thin community results in a loss of meaning, but a memoir on snake-handling in Appalachia shows the perils of a thick community. |

From international editor Angela Lu Fulton: While living in Taipei, Taiwan, I’d celebrate New Year’s Eve 16 hours earlier than my friends and family back in LA. We’d watch fireworks shoot out the sides of the massive Taipei 101 building, then walk home among throngs of revelers as Americans were eating breakfast. |

As the hours passed, different parts of the world would have their chance to count down the remaining seconds of the old year and cheer in the new. It’s a beautiful picture of how despite the differences in cultures and languages, we all share this celebration in common. Today we published a list of 15 stories of how God has worked around the world in 2025. Amid wars, unjust imprisonment, migration, hopelessness, stagnation, and revival, God is continuing his work of bringing his kingdom on earth as it is in heaven. Through all of 2025 and in the coming year of 2026, God sits on his throne and reigns as he has from the beginning of time. |

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." |

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. |
