This podcast, CHRISTIAN RESEARCH JOURNAL Reads, presents audio versions of CHRISTIAN
RESEARCH JOURNAL articles. As the flagship publication of the Christian Research
Institute, the JOURNAL seeks to equip followers of Christ to think and to live
Christianly—to exercise truth and experience life. Truth, especially essential Christian
doctrine, forms the basis for how we live our lives in Christ. As the apostle Paul
instructed Timothy in 1 Tim. 4:16, “Watch your life and doctrine closely. Persevere in
them, because if you do, you will save both yourself and your hearers.”
The CHRISTIAN RESEARCH JOURNAL enjoyed a print incarnation of almost 45 years. Now
exclusively an online publication, the JOURNAL consists of thousands of free articles on
We hope that through these audio articles you are not only equipped to proclaim and
defend your faith but that as a disciple you also draw closer to Christ in your walk with
Him. You can find the written version of each article that is an episode of CHRISTIAN
RESEARCH JOURNAL Reads at the website of the Christian Research Institute, equip.org. All Christian Research Journal articles at equip.org are completely free and do not require a subscription and are not under a paywall.
