Help Us Reach the World for Christ

It Started With a Calling, Not a Strategy.

Before The Cross wasn’t started with a business plan or a branding roadmap. It was started because of the belief that people are searching — for answers, for truth, for hope — and the Bible had something to say to every one of them.

What began as a simple blog has grown into a ministry reaching thousands of people every day. Not through flashy marketing or viral moments. Through faithful, consistent, biblically-grounded content that meets people exactly where they are.

People like Teresa, who wrote:

“Thank you so much for the insights and excellent writing! I praise God for your faithfulness and the way He is using you to help me — and I’m sure many others!”

And Babu, writing from India:

“Thank you so much. It is a blessing to study these teachings to strengthen and to share with our people.”

That’s the mission. That’s what your gift supports.

The Impact

• 52,657+ Subscribers receiving biblical encouragement
• 15+ Years of faithful Gospel content
• Millions of lives reached through search, social, and Scripture

Featured in WORLD Magazine, the YouVersion Bible App, Pastors.com, Pilgrim Radio Network, Faithlife, and more — because the content is trusted, credible, and Christ-centered.

Every Dollar Goes Toward the Mission.

Before The Cross is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit ministry. We don’t sell courses. We don’t gate our content behind a paywall. Everything — every article, every devotional, every scripture study, every podcast episode — is completely free.

That means this ministry runs on the generosity of people like you.

Your gift helps us:

• Keep the content free for anyone who needs it, anywhere in the world
• Write new Biblical teachings on the topics people are actually searching for
• Grow our reach through outreach tools that put Gospel content in front of people in spiritual need
• Support local ministries that are serving their communities in practical ways
• Maintain and improve the website, resources, and tools thousands of people rely on every week

When you give to Before The Cross, you’re not just funding a website. You’re partnering in a mission to glorify God by sharing the love of Christ — one person, one search, one article at a time.

“Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.” — 2 Corinthians 9:7

A Note From Mike

I never set out to build a platform. I set out to be faithful with what God put in front of me. Years later, I’m still amazed at how He takes a willingness to show up and turns it into something that reaches people in living rooms, on morning commutes, and even halfway around the world.

If you’ve been encouraged, challenged, or pointed toward Christ through Before The Cross, I want you to know — that was never just me or other writers. That was every person who prayed for this ministry, shared a post, or gave so we could keep going.

If you’re in a position to give, thank you. And if you’re not, keep reading, keep sharing, and keep praying.
