Christianity Today
“CT's award-winning reporting in a calm, well-edited app; the daily briefing alone earns a spot.”
Christianity Today has anchored thoughtful evangelical journalism since Billy Graham founded it in 1956, and this app finally brings its full newsroom to your phone. You get the flagship reporting on theology, church life, and culture, a daily curated briefing called Your Daily Update, devotionals, and the magazine's growing slate of podcasts. It launched recently and already feels clean and considered rather than rushed.
The reading experience is the star. Typography is calm, articles load quickly, and you can bookmark pieces or podcast episodes for offline access on a commute or a flight. Reactions and comments add a light community layer without turning the feed into a shouting match, and the daily update does a genuinely helpful job of surfacing the two or three stories worth your attention instead of an endless scroll.
The app itself is free, but the deepest magazine reporting sits behind a CT membership that runs about $6.99 a month or roughly $72 a year, which also includes print and full digital access. Two honest limits: it is iPhone-only for now, and with only a handful of App Store ratings so far the app is still maturing. If you already trust CT's voice, it is an easy install; if you want everything free, some of the best long-form work will be gated.
Is it right for you?
