In 2024, we witnessed God’s hand at work in remarkable ways. Our ministry expanded its reach, touching lives across the globe through our digital platforms and resources. We launched over 80 resources to guide believers through the complexities of the election season, emphasizing unity and the sovereignty of God. This initiative was a collaborative effort across our brandsâDenison Forum, Christian Parenting, First15, and Foundationsâeach contributing unique content to help our audience navigate these times with a Christ-centered perspective.
Our content ministry has continued to thrive, with Denison Forum’s The Daily Articleâs reaching an ever-growing audience, providing biblical insights into current events. The First15 devotional has deepened its engagement, offering new resources to guide believers in their daily walk with God. Christian Parenting has solidified its presence in the podcasting space, and Foundations has released impactful Bible studies, including a new focus on contentment in Christ.
Looking ahead to 2025, we are excited to build on this momentum. Our vision is to deepen our discipleship efforts, ensuring that our content not only informs but transforms lives.
We are developing new podcasts, like Culture Brief, to engage younger audiences with relevant, biblically grounded discussions on current events. Our strategic plan aims to enhance the synergy between our brands, fostering a holistic approach to discipleship that addresses the heart, soul, mind, and strength.
We are also committed to expanding our impact through strategic partnerships and innovative content delivery. Our goal is to reach more people with the life-changing message of the Gospel, equipping them to live out their faith in every aspect of their lives.
Your support is crucial as we embark on this journey. We are grateful for your partnership and invite you to continue walking with us as we seek to fulfill our mission. Together, we can make a lasting impact for the Kingdom, transforming lives, communities, and cultures with the hope and truth of Jesus Christ.
