Background

Billy Graham founded Christianity Today in 1956 as a mainstream, intellectually serious voice for American evangelicals. Early financial backing reportedly included $350,000 from oilman J. Howard Pew, and the magazine is now published by the nonprofit Christianity Today International. It has long been associated with moderate-to-conservative evangelicalism and gained wide attention in 2019 when then-editor Mark Galli published an editorial calling for President Trump's removal from office. Russell Moore, who became editor-in-chief in 2022 after leaving the Southern Baptist Convention, was a vocal Trump critic, and the outlet drew criticism from some on the evangelical right who called it too liberal or 'woke.' In September 2025 Moore moved to editor-at-large and columnist, and Marvin Olasky became editor-in-chief. In November 2025 senior news editor Daniel Silliman resigned, citing significant disagreements with the new leadership, and the outlet saw further staff turnover. Moore's columns in 2026 still criticized Trump, including on Iran threats and immigration, and the site has carried news on evangelical leaders urging the administration to release frozen global health funds. The overall picture is a theologically conservative outlet with a mix of critical and more conservative voices, whose editorial direction is in transition under new leadership.
