With 2023 nearing its end, Good Faith Media wants to thank you for your continued support. Because of your generosity, we have shared stories that advocate for an inclusive faith and advance a hospitable and just future. You empower us to inspire others through leading voices like Miguel De La Torre, Amy Butler, Wendell Griffen, Kali Cawthon-Freels and Randall Balmer.
As 2024 begins, GFM invites you to invest in our mission to provide reflection and resources at the intersection of faith and culture through an inclusive Christian lens.
The new year will be consequential and pivotal for the Christian witness and American democracy. The presidential election in November will provide yet another opportunity for Christian nationalists and fundamentalists to force their restrictive beliefs and practices onto the broader culture.
The rhetoric will be intense and profane as proponents of Christian nationalism attempt to redefine faith and democracy. They will promote a perverse gospel and a revisionist history of America to gain control of the church and government.
Good Faith Media commits to partnering with like-minded organizations to amplify a counter-narrative. While GFM remains a nonpartisan organization, we refuse to stand down while Christian nationalists pervert the gospel to gain power and control.
Good Faith Media believes in a better way to be both a person of faith and a patriotic citizen. We hold firmly to the foundational principle of religious liberty. We contend that a wall separating church and state protects the practice of faith from the state and the state from the church.
Investing in Good Faith Media will ensure our ability to counter Christian nationalism and advocate for a better way. Faith should always guide our conscience. But we must also realize that democracy allows for opposing views, so we should be leery of those attempting to control ours.
There are numerous ways you can invest to ensure GFM amplifies marginalized voices and advocates for the common good.
By becoming a monthly donor, you provide GFM with consistent support for our staff and our mission throughout the year. Being a monthly donor makes you a GFM Advocate.
One-time donations are also always appreciated. These often arrive just when we need them to support a specific cause or project. Last year, one-time donations helped GFM publish more books, produce more media content and report on more stories than any year prior.
For those wanting to invest in the long-term future of Good Faith Media, we welcome a conversation about a single donation or estate gift to the John D. Pierce Endowment Fund. The Pierce Endowment Fund was established to ensure a viable financial future for GFM to publish and produce for generations to come the resources you’ve grown to appreciate over the years.
Next year is sure to be a momentous one. While Christian nationalists will make efforts to dominate the public square in matters of faith and culture, Good Faith Media is committed to providing a better way to counter those efforts.
The board, staff and GFM community thank you for your continued financial and spiritual support.
Happy New Year, and remember: There is always more to tell!
