In this series
Summarizing an entire year of reporting, commentary, and storytelling is no easy feat. One way to reflect on 2025 coverage is by looking at what you, our readers, visited the most. Here are our top ten by page views, an intriguing mix of breaking news reports, cultural coverage, and global stories.
But readership is only one way to measure an article’s impact. In our other year-end lists, you’ll find curated selections based on topic (such as ten of this year’s biblical archaeological discoveries), medium (such as articles from the print magazine and podcasts), genre (book reviews, testimonies), and more.
As we close out 2025, we hope these lists allow you to meditate on all that God has done this year.
