Core Christianity
Core Christianity launched in 2017 with a vision to get back to the basics—to the core truths of the Christian faith. Our multimedia effort provides answers to tough questions about the Bible and the Christian life on multiple platforms, helping people experience the comfort of the gospel and gain confidence and wisdom.

Modern Reformation
The characteristics of the theological thinking that MR continues to model include: theological retrieval, whereby we learn to listen to the wisdom of the past; theological conversation, where we consider, probe, examine from varying perspectives in order to prove what is excellent and grow in our discernment ; and theological engagement with the goodness, the perplexities, the agonies of our time and place. By engaging in these efforts, MR seeks to persuade readers that the truths of the Christian faith, and the particular insights of the confessional reformation traditions, matter greatly.

The Davenant Institute
In an age when the church has become progressively unmoored from its roots and unable to speak with conviction, the Davenant Institute is committed to re-integrating past and present and re-integrating Word and world.

  • We return to the sources, mining the legacy of a mere confessional Protestantism and creatively applying it to the needs and questions of our own age.
  • We re-imagine theological education, refounding the medieval university for the digital frontier, and translating the faith from the scholar’s study to the churches and the streets.
  • We reforge the bonds of friendship that lie at the foundation of all sustainable reforming work, building a community of like-minded men and women equipped with the fearlessness of wisdom.

The Gospel Coalition
We are a fellowship of evangelical churches in the Reformed tradition deeply committed to renewing our faith in the gospel of Christ and to reforming our ministry practices to conform fully to the Scriptures.

1517
1517 is a nonprofit organization that exists to declare and defend the Good News that you are forgiven and free on account of Christ alone.

Mockingbird
Mockingbird is an organization devoted to “connecting the Christian faith with the realities of everyday life”. This site is one of our chief venues for doing so. We also publish books and magazines, host conferences, and distribute podcasts. We think of mbird.com as an ever-growing catalog of the ways in which a Christian understanding of reality – what people are like, what God is like, and how the two intersect – is borne out around us. This looks different every day. One minute we’re talking about parenting, the next pop music, the next religious history. Sometimes we’re simply being ridiculous.

Gospel in Life
Gospelinlife.com is the site for all sermons, books, articles, and resources from Timothy Keller, Redeemer Presbyterian Church, and Redeemer City to City. The name reflects our conviction that the gospel changes everything in life.

The White Horse Inn
Launched in 1990, White Horse Inn is a listener-supported radio show and podcast named after the pub in Cambridge, England, where the Reformation came to the English-speaking world. Our hosts model conversational theology, representing the Baptist, Reformed, Lutheran, and Anglican traditions. Each week, they tackle tough topics that matter to Christians living in a pluralistic world. Part theology, part apologetics, part cultural analysis, White Horse Inn calls the church back to the first principles of the Reformation, believing that a rediscovery of those riches could spark a modern reformation in our churches and family rooms.

This series will provide a broad overview of the entire Bible, especially designed for those who are brand new to the Bible or those who want to review the grand narrative of redemption.

Family Style Theology
Family Style Theology explores theological topics through family conversation. Host Cindy Koch, joined by her children, explore essential questions in a way that is not only theologically satisfying but accessible to the whole family.

It is hosted by Caleb Keith and Drs. Rod Rosenbladt, Scott Keith, and Adam Francisco. The Thinking Fellows shares the Gospel message by recording lay-level conversations about Christian doctrine, apologetics, and church history.

Christianity On Trial
Welcome to Christianity on Trial, where the claims of Christianity are examined and judged by the rules of evidence as used in the court of law. Your host, Dr. John Warwick Montgomery, is a lawyer, a theologian, an author, and an accomplished defender of biblical Christianity. He is no stranger to the rules of evidence or the courtroom.

Questioning Christianity
Questioning Christianity with Tim Keller is a seven-part podcast series for people who are interested in exploring Christianity, brought to you by Gospel in Life. This series will help listeners work through tough questions like: Can there be moral absolutes? Does life have meaning beyond what I make of it? Can hope exist in the face of death? Each of the talks and Q&A sessions were given by Tim Keller in 2019 before a live gathering in New York City, made up primarily of attendees who did not identify as Christian.

PZ’s Podcast
An off-the-wall but powerfully deep reflection on the Gospel by The Very Rev. Dr. theol. Paul Zahl. From "Telstar" to "Vault of Horror," from Rattigan to Kerouac, from the Village of Bray to the Village of Midwich, help PZ link old ancient news and pop culture. I think I can see him, "Crawling from the Wreckage." Will he find his way? This show is brought to you by Mockingbird! 

Key Life
Key Life isn’t for everyone. If you want the Bible to be a “book of rules,” if you think there is something unspiritual about laughter and dangerous about freedom and if you define faithfulness as conformity to Christian stereotypes, then Key Life probably isn’t for you.

But if you’re interested in an honest, non-manipulative and thoughtful presentation of Biblical truth in the context of Christ’s unconditional love, Key Life may be for you. If you need to hear the hopeful truth that God isn’t mad at you, Key Life is for you.

Timothy Keller Sermons
Sermons by Tim Keller, founder of Redeemer Presbyterian Church in NYC and NY Times best-selling author of  ”The Reason for God: Belief in an Age of Skepticism.”
