Letter from Josh Miller, Chief of Staff
As I reflect on the past year, I find myself overwhelmed with gratitude for what God has accomplished through Denison Ministries and for partners like you who made it possible.
In 2025, Denison Ministries reached a milestone we’ve never seen before: over 113,000,000 million content experiences. That’s 113 million moments when someone opened a devotional, listened to a podcast, read an article, or pressed play on a video that pointed them toward Christ. Each one of those moments represents a real person seeking truth, hope, and connection with God.
This kind of impact doesn’t happen by accident. It happens because of the generosity and faithfulness of people who believe that biblical truth can still transform lives, families, and communities.
Across all of our brands, we saw God at work in remarkable ways. Denison Forum continued to be a trusted voice helping believers navigate today’s headlines with biblical clarity, expanding our podcast offerings with Culture Brief and Faith & Clarity with Dr. Mark Turman. First15 reached millions through daily devotionals, guided prayers, and original worship music, helping people start their day in God’s presence. Christian Parenting grew its podcast network and continued equipping moms and dads to raise the next generation of Christ-followers. And Foundations with Janet Denison released new Bible studies and resources that help believers dig deeper into Scripture and apply it to their everyday lives.
From articles to podcasts, devotionals to videos, prayer journals to worship albums, we are continually seeking new ways to bring the hope of Christ to people wherever they are. And we’re not slowing down. We have exciting new content and initiatives on the horizon for 2026 that we can’t wait to share with you!
None of this would be possible without your partnership. Thank you for praying, for giving, and for walking alongside us as we pursue this mission together. We are honored to have you as part of the Denison Ministries family.
With gratitude,
Josh Miller,
Chief of Staff
Because of your partnership and God's blessing, Denison Forum is reaching more people than ever with the Biblical truth our culture so desperately needs. The impact below is a glimpse of what God is doing through your faithfulness.

Denison Forum brings biblical clarity to today's headlines
Denison Forum exists to help Christians replace fear with faith, cynicism with hope, and confusion with clarity. In a world where outrage drives clicks and division dominates headlines, we provide a trusted alternative, offering news and commentary grounded in biblical truth, not partisan talking points.
Through The Daily Article and other resources, we help believers engage the issues of our day with wisdom, conviction, and peace. Our goal is not to “win the news cycle” but to equip Christians to think biblically about current events so they can live faithfully in a chaotic world. By delivering truth without fear, commentary without partisanship, and news with a biblical lens, Denison Forum serves as a go-to source for those seeking to be shaped more by Christ than by the culture.
- “Today, it’s Tel Aviv. Tomorrow, it’s New York.”
- Should Christians watch “KPop Demon Hunters”?
- “The moment the Middle East changed forever”?

In an effort to provide resources to help individuals navigate the complexities of today’s culture from a biblical perspective, Denison Forum expanded its podcast offerings in 2025, launching Culture Brief and relaunching The Denison Forum Podcast as Faith & Clarity with Dr. Mark Turman. Both speak directly to the news and cultural issues shaping our world.
Culture Brief offers a fast-paced, conversational look at the week’s biggest stories in news, politics, sports, entertainment, and technology. Hosts Conner Jones and Micah Tomasella bring both humor and insight as they help listeners make sense of culture with biblical discernment, encouraging thoughtful engagement with today’s most talked-about topics.

“Denison Forum has had a profound impact on my faith. I appreciate the insightful articles and discussions that have helped me grow spiritually. I particularly enjoyed the daily devotionals which offer practical applications of faith in everyday life. Thank you for the work you do!”
–Frances W.
“A great resource for cultural events! I’m not much of a news follower, but I love to know what is going on in the world in snippets. The hosts have a great rapport with each other and don’t seem to take themselves too seriously, but it is obvious in the way Christ is integrated into their conversations, that they take their relationship with him very seriously. I look forward to listening to this show every week to and from my Bible study, and no doubt each week, I will come away with some fresh insight.”
—Culture Brief Podcast Listener
“Intelligent yet ‘down to earth’ Really enjoy this faith based podcast! Always has intelligent and useful information for today’s times. Dr. Mark does an incredible job interviewing knowledgeable guests and extracting the best information for listeners in a ‘down to earth’ fashion. Good stuff!”
—Faith & Clarity podcast listener

Drawing people closer to God in just fifteen minutes a day
“I would never want to go a morning without First15. It truly has become a vital part of my life now helping me stay grounded, spiritually connected to my Heavenly Father, my Lord and Savior, and keeping me aware of the presence of the Holy Spirit to guide my path. Thank you, Denison Ministries.”
—Donna S.
“I have been a faithful reader and listener to First15 for several years, it is the first thing on my schedule each day. That initial conversation with God sets the perspective for me to view the coming day through His eyes and follow Christ more intently. First15 touches me personally in the way it is written — an informal casual style but steeped in the deep truths of scripture. Many devotionals are written about a featured verse or two, but First15 uses more scripture passages than any other devotional I have seen. That is why this is such an effective daily plan. It reminds me before any distractions enter my mind to focus on God and watch for ways He is working in my life and in the lives of people who need the Lord all around me.”
—Kendall K.
“Thank you for sharing these short but powerful prayers. They help to pause in the middle of a busy day to spend time with God.”

A podcast for every parent (and their kids!)
The Christian Parenting Podcast Network continues to grow! In 2025, we welcomed two new shows: The Midlife Momma Podcast and Parenting IQ.
Our podcasts offer a wide range of content from general parenting wisdom, to support for specific parenting journeys, and even engaging podcasts just for kids. With podcasts for parents of kids on the autism spectrum, parents who have fostered or adopted, parents of teenagers and young adults, there is a podcast for every parent to encourage them as they raise their kids in the Christian faith.
Some of the top episodes from across the network this year have been:
- Broken trust and healing tough relationships with Lysa TerKeurst – Pardon the Mess
- Faith, family, and decision making with Emily Jensen and Laura Wifler – The Christian Parenting Podcast
- Remedies for an anxious generation – Let’s Parent on Purpose
- Your emotions are a gift – The Greta Eskridge Podcast
- Explore wonders of the ocean realm – The Bible for Kids
- Entitlement vs. gratitude: shaping your teen’s heart – Parenting Today’s Teens
- You’re not too late: Trusting God’s timing for your adoption story – Called to Love
- Let’s talk about people pleasing with therapist Heather Bjur – The Midlife Momma Podcast
- Blind Bartimaeus (Faith and Miracles) – Truthseekers
- How to navigate motherhood with ADHD with Dr. Shannon Crawford – Parenting IQ
The Christian Parenting annual prayer journal continues to be a favorite resource for families across the country. Each week, parents are using it to intentionally cover their kids in prayer.
This year’s journal, A Great Cloud of Witnesses, invites parents to draw inspiration from the heroes of faith found through the Old and New Testaments as they pray for their kids to live bold, faithful lives. Each week includes a short devotional, Scripture reading, a written prayer, and space to record personal prayer requests.
Along with the journal resource, Pardon the Mess also releases a bonus podcast episode every Monday praying through that week’s devotional with the parents. This is the perfect resource for parents on the go, or who need something quick and easy while still prioritizing prayer over their kids during the school year!
We’re thrilled to announce that Christian Parenting is now partnering with RightNow Media to offer the Helping Moms Raise Confident Daughters course series on their platform. Designed by licensed marriage and family therapist Terra Mattson, this resource equips moms with age‑specific video coaching, conversation guides, and journals to cultivate godly confidence in their daughters at every stage. Because of our collaboration with RightNow Media, this vital training is now accessible to thousands more moms through their congregations and communities.

Our goal at Foundations is to create content that helps people learn to think critically and live biblically, and Janet’s devotional, Wisdom Matters, is a resource that continues to impact our audience. In today’s culture, discerning all the information at our fingertips can be challenging. The Bible, however, doesn’t change because it is God’s perfect truth and timeless wisdom. This beautifully designed and printed 365-day devotional helps people end their day with a thought about God.
Audio and digital options of this devotional are available for free on our Bible study app and through a daily email.

Our new Bible study, Restoring Vintage Faith, is a 20-week study that invites you to pause, reflect, and rediscover the ancient paths of biblical truth that bring genuine rest for the soul. We are excited to offer this study in print form this year.
Earlier in the year, we released a 7-week study on the Lord’s Prayer. Lord, Teach Us to Pray explores the model prayer that Jesus gave us and is intended to help believers approach God in a transformative, life-giving relationship.
With all of Janet’s recorded lectures on YouTube, more and more people are finding our studies!

Grounded in truth
“I really appreciate your wisdom! Even though I’ve been walking with the LORD for decades, you write in such a way that it makes me stop & think. I often jot a quote from you into my notebook during my quiet time.”
—Barb B.
“I can only imagine the many roles you have throughout the ministry, and the many souls you are helping to win for the Kingdom. Hearing your voice through the evening podcast, Wisdom Matters continues to immensely bless me.”
—Wisdom Matters podcast listener
“This has been the most personal of all the Bible studies I have taken. Janet’s teaching is clear, thoughtful, and totally in step with the Scripture. I needed this and look forward to more. Thank you.”
—Jill C.
Your gift fuels a movement of biblical clarity and courage.
The world seems to change every hour. Yet one reality stands firm: God’s word has not changed, and never will.
That conviction is why Denison Ministries exists. Every day, we equip believers to think critically, live faithfully, and serve intentionally in a culture desperate for clarity and hope.
Throughout the last 16 years, God has expanded this work far beyond what we could have imagined, reaching millions across the globe with Christ-centered resources. From daily emails to parenting podcasts, books, and devotionals, lives are being touched, questions answered, and faith strengthened.
But the need is greater than ever. The next generation is growing up in a world where biblical truth is increasingly ignored or rejected outright. And that’s why your partnership matters so deeply.
When you partner with Denison Ministries, you’re not simply funding an organization, you’re fueling a movement of truth. You’re equipping believers to stand with courage, engage with civility, and help transform our culture through Christ.
Thank you for advancing God’s unchanging truth in a changing world!
