In my many contacts with church leaders around the world, I was amazed at how many were familiar with CT, and appreciated that CT led the conversation in many of the theological and cultural issues facing the church today.

My dream would be that CT Global could find an effective way to encourage dialogue and mutual learning between Christian leaders from America and other parts of the world. We have as much to learn from the global church as it has to learn from us.

What I really find provocative and interesting is the global reach of authors found in every issue of CT. The authors of three recent articles I found moving are authored by a woman living in Burundi, an Australian evangelist, and a corporate executive from Colorado. Where else do we have opportunity to hear from such a broad range of solidly Christian thinkers?

Christianity Today has been formative in my life in many ways. I have been reading CT for decades, and they always present the best of the center of evangelicalism, bringing together thought leadership, practical application, and then looking at issues in the church from all sides. It's fulfilled the vision that Billy Graham had for it: to help shape the church.

When I was a young pastor coming out of an unhealthy church environment, CT was one of the main influences that was able to show me what faithful orthodoxy looks like.

"I'm encouraged that CT is taking on complex and stimulating questions of scientific inquiry with immediate ethical implications for their readership and, indeed, for all of society."

"Speaking the truth, careful reliable journalism, standing up for the things that are going on in our culture today, the global and local and national perspective—this is all part of CT and it's so important to me."

"Christianity Today has been alongside me as a reliable magazine with clear journalistic standards. CT has a desire to dig deeper into issues and look further into the truth rather than just going with the easy position."

"I love that Christianity Today addresses every topic I'm thinking about sooner or later. CT doesn't shy away because it's afraid of losing readers. The CT team constantly keeps its eyes on God, and asking how we as Christians should understand important cultural issues."

I was fully in this world of people doubting religion, where you aren't smart if you believe in Christ, until I encountered C. S. Lewis and Christianity Today
magazine.
