Initiatives

Secularization is increasing, especially in cities.

Much has been written about the decline of Christianity in urban areas. But there are no studies on the most common objections to the gospel in American cities.

We’re going to change that.

In partnership with Barna Research and Wheaton College, the Mapping the secular mind project will discover the most common objections to Christianity in the most secular part of the country—the urban centers of the Northeastern United States.

We’ll provide free, reliable data you can trust.

And that’s just the beginning.

Robust scholarship for modern questions.

The ancient teachings of Jesus satisfy the longings of modern people. Drawing from the best academic resources, the Orthodox & Modern initiative will provide biblically and theologically robust answers to common objections.

The teachings of Jesus, explained for skeptics and doubters.

We’re providing free content answering common questions about Jesus. This will include videos, articles, and a book written for a broad audience.

We’re also hosting gatherings for believers and unbelievers to have genuine conversations about their beliefs.

We’re convinced that Jesus still offers the greatest hope for the modern world.
