Like many of you, I subscribe to various and sundry blogs in order to keep up on what’s out there in theology, church ministry, and Christianity at large. Which blogs do you follow? Mine are listed below.
Let me first make two disclaimers:
- I do NOT have time to read every post on every blog I follow. (By “follow,” I mean that I am subscribed to the blog, not necessarily that I read every post.) That’s the great thing about a blog reader—you can subscribe to a blog, then peruse your blog reader to see new posts that have been added and read the ones that interest you.
- And of course, I do not necessarily agree with or endorse all of the content of or individuals represented by these blogs.
So, with no further ado . . .

Here are mine in alphabetical order. I used Google Reader as my feed reader. I hardly ever go to the main sites themselves. I cover a wide range of views and topics.
C.J. Mahaney’s Sovereign Grace Ministries Blog
Challies.com
Discerning Reader– Chraistian book review site by the author of the previous blog. I usually agree with his assessments.
Justin Taylor– editor at Crossway. Actually good for general Christian news.
Kevin DeYoung–only recently started following it after reading some of his books
The Lasting Divergence–by Steve Wright, author of the youth ministry book reThink
Here–very meta to mention this
The Rebulution–teen ran blog by the Harris brothers who wrote Do Hard Things
Joe Thorn–a missional SBC pastor of a church in St. Charles, IL.
And for fun, sites that are not necessarily spiritually related:
Dubious Qualityvideo game and life observations for an analyst in Texas
Rock, Paper, Shotgun–PC computer gaming information
The Brainy Gamer–intelligent discussion about video games and their influence on culture
MicroBricks–love me some LEGOs
The Brothers Brick–yeah, more LEGOS
Duarte Blog–excellent site and author for effective powerpoint presentation and design. Let’s face it, most pastors’ message PowerPoints are horrible–maybe even detrimental
Presentation Zen–another excellent author about presentation design. A little too new age-y, but excellent tips
Life Hacker–yeah, just plain cool living and productivity tips
Doh! I posted all mine and the comment system thought it was spam. Just a heads up. Don’t post a lot of links in your comment reply.
😀
I’ve got to try and save my comment.
Thanks for the great list. Many of my favorites are on there, but also some new ones that I added to my rss reader.
Nat, I’ll try to rescue it from spam and keep an eye out for others that might have the same thing happen. 🙂
Kevin DeYoung – http://thegospelcoalition.org/blogs/kevindeyoung/
Almost every day there is a read-able (not able to be read, but need to be read) article. It’s good stuff.
