One Ministry | Four Brands

Denison Ministries is comprised of a few brands: Denison Forum, First15, Christian Parenting, and Foundations with Janet Denison.

News Discerned Differently

The Denison Forum exists to thoughtfully engage the issues of the day from a biblical perspective. Cultural apologist Dr. Jim Denison offers news discerned differently through The Daily Article, his daily email newsletter and podcast, and through books, interviews, articles, and more.

Connect with God Daily

First15 is a daily devotional and podcast that seeks to provide believers of all backgrounds with a unique experience with God in the first 15 minutes of their day. First15 is designed to help readers have an encounter with God that leads them to a sincere search to love God and others.

Perfectly Imperfect Parenting

Christian Parenting gives parents everywhere the practical and spiritual help they need, on as many platforms as possible through articles, printed resources, and a podcast network. With the right resources given in the right ways, growth can happen in the midst of the busyness. Parents don’t need to be perfect. In fact, growth comes as we embrace becoming perfectly imperfect.

Grounded in God’s Truth

Foundations with Janet Denison exists to teach people about the transforming power of Scripture through digital Bible study. We are dedicated to helping people learn how to study the Bible and apply God’s truth to their lives.

A Letter from Dr. Jim Denison

Because of your prayers, conversations, support, and God’s blessing, our ministry has continued to grow, as evidenced by the numbers given in this report.

Whether our content waters a seed of truth in someone’s life or provides a life-giving taste of the Living Water to a long-parched soul, please know that your partnership with the Denison Ministries family of brands is deeply affecting Christians, encouraging them to live out biblical truth in their pursuit of Jesus amidst a world that urges us to live for ourselves above all.

One of those impacted is Dan, who recently wrote us:

Most every day your message seems to be what I need for the day. Some days encouragement, some humility, some strength, some guidance and the hope we have in Jesus Christ.

So, thank you for choosing to support Denison Forum. Because of thoughtful Christians like you, our ministry can continue speaking the truth in love to a culture in desperate need of both.

I am deeply grateful for your partnership,

Dr. Jim Denison

Deborah

I love the Denison Forum. It's a voice of reason in our chaotic world. We have lost our moral compass. The Forum reminds me that there are people out there that really want our world to know the only way to God is through Jesus Christ. Thank you.

Larry

I find great value for my soul by reading your daily articles which give me prospective on the news of our day through a biblical lens. Thanks for your ministry.

Barbara

I read The Daily Article for help in staying positive and grounded in the knowledge that there is still a strong Christian influence to turn to in an otherwise very confused world.

The New First15 App

Most of us know the importance of a daily quiet time consisting of Bible reading and prayer, yet many struggle with finding a devotional resource that is both easy to understand and relatable to daily life. The First15 app is designed to make connecting with God easier than ever.

As believers, we want a real connection with God every day, not just on Sunday. We want the peace and passion that comes from living with God, not for God. But finding an abiding connection with God in the busyness of everyday life isn’t easy, especially on our own.

Christian Parenting
Prayer Journal

God knows all of these daily stressors and he hears our prayers regarding the big AND small things. But sometimes we feel like we don’t have the right words to pray, especially when it comes to praying over our kids. That’s why Christian Parenting has created our annual prayer journal, Key Psalms to Pray Over Your Kids, including weekly podcast episodes to go along with your journal! This beautiful resource draws from powerful scriptures found in the book of Psalms, helping parents to pray each week over their kids.

Equipping the next generation

We created Christian Parenting to give you the practical and spiritual help you need, on as many platforms and in as many ways as possible.

I'm so grateful. You all touch all avenues of parenting and that is what I love. Always remember the parent or the topic that isn't the norm or hot for the majority- those are the ones people need help desperately. Thank you for already doing this!

Julie S.

Christian Parenting has been a “lifeline” for me. Thank you for all of your resources. From the prayer journal to all of the podcasts in your podcast network to the newsletters with amazing articles you seem to know just what parents need. Keep up the great work. We need you!

Amanda P.

So grateful for all the incredible resources you create and provide! My wife and I are expecting our first in April and we feel so much more equipped because of you all!
