Mere Orthodoxy believes that “whether it is arts, movies, literature, politics (yup, we go there), sexuality, or any other crevice of the human experience, we believe that the Gospel has something to say about it and that ‘something‘ really can be good news.” Some of their articles won’t be your thing, but whatever your interest—from Biblical studies to psychology—you’ll find something right up your alley.

The title of this journal communicates its aim: to make the first things—the most important, foundational things in life: truth, goodness, beauty, God—first. At First Things you’ll find both thoughtful commentary on current events and more esoteric reflections on timeless ideas, like why we hunger for beauty.

This remarkable ministry is oriented around a single goal: proclaim Christ to the culture. This ministry—fueled by the rich philosophical and theological education of its founder, Bishop Robert Barron, as well a deep passion for evangelization—has everything from reflections on the latest Netflix series to excellent weekly sermons. The site is full of resources in practically every medium, but this collection of videos is perhaps the place to start.

This project is actually an offshoot of Word on Fire. Desiring to evangelizing a culture of increasing skepticism of faith, Bishop Barron believes one of the central stumbling blocks for modern people is what he (following many others) calls Scientism: an admiration of scientific knowledge that is so great that it discounts all other kinds of knowledge. This project aims not to discredit the sciences but to show that, far from disproving the faith, science actually has grown out of the Church and always points back to the Creator.

The Front Porch Republic, while not always directly Christian, is founded upon concern for a question the faithful ought to carefully consider: in a world of mass media, cultural amnesia, and disconnection, how do we remain rooted in the world God made as he created us to live in it—in our given place, loving our given neighbors? To start: here’s a brief introduction to the magazine, and here’s a curated weekly roundup of readings from around the web.

The work you’ll find at Plough represents the thinking of Christians across a broad spectrum–from varying traditions and denominations, from ancient to present. (We at Lewis House find it especially fun to see John Chrysostom or Mother Theresa of Calcutta in the bylines of “recent articles.”) And the topics of reflection are just as varied: on everything from devotional reading to grieving, non-violence to singleness.

The Center for Pastor Theologians’ mission is pretty clear: to aid church leaders in thinking theologically about the vast array of challenges that come with shepherding a church in a culture full of difficult questions, changing public norms, and enticing distractions. The site is full of great resources, but the archive of presentations from their annual conference are an especially collection.

Since 1993 (before podcasting was even a thing), Ken Myers has been interviewing the best Christian writers and thinkers, exploring how to think Christianly about pretty much anything you can imagine—from bioethics to worship to poetry, and so much more. To access every “catalogue” of new interviews, you should get a subscription. But before you do, you can download the app and listen to the Free Friday Feature every week, or check out the page’s blog.
