Reporters and editors are people who love questions. We ask them in planning meetings and interviews with sources and rounds of fact-checking. Our work depends on our curiosity.

And we expect that our readers are curious too. They come to Christianity Today wondering about breaking news, developing stories, and difficult topics. They may be asking, “How does faith inform how I approach a particular hot-button issue?” or “How are ministries around the world offering help and hope in places of great need?”

Sometimes we get a glimpse of the very specific questions that lead people to our work, such as “what is mike pence doing now,” “what church does trump attend,” “what is christian nationalism,” or “is jordan peterson a christian.”

Those are some of the top Google search queries that referred internet users to our site in the past few months. It can be interesting to see exactly what questions are taking off more broadly as we think about ways to provide trustworthy reporting and thoughtful commentary to help seekers find some answers.
