What We Do
Christians are called to re-tell the good news we have received—that Jesus came to dwell among us, rescue us, and restore us to right relationship with God. Love Is Moving aims to help Christians embrace and live out this call to discipleship and evangelism.
Part of the work of being faithful Jesus followers is sifting and translating the culture around us and learning how to serve an unchanging God amid changing contexts. Love Is Moving’s cultural analysis and discussions about societal issues help Christians navigate faith in today’s world.
We celebrate that each of us are mini creators who bear the image of the Great Creator. We are makers of all kinds, and as Christians, we can think of making as an act of praise. When we create good and beautiful things, whether it’s a meal for our family, a Bible study for our church small group, or a painting for our friend’s living room, these creations are echoes and imitations of God’s creativity.
Love Is Moving offer a unique blend of poetry and artist profiles along with Christian resources on culture and spiritual formation. Our style emphasizes narrative storytelling that combines personal stories with societal and theological discussions. We’re an online magazine, publishing articles each month and releasing three issues per year, each circling a specific theme.
What We Value
We’re here to ask deep questions and encourage young Christians to cultivate maturity in faith and life. We’re not here to be trendy or controversial. This means we aim for depth and nuance over click bait. We want you to feel that we’re friends for the journey of faith.
Faith is not just an internal experience, it calls for outward action—seeking the flourishing of our neighbours, communities, and churches. We want to inspire and equip you to act out your calling as a Jesus follower.
The Church has a long history and many layers of diversity. Our work is honest about when churches disappoint us but is also filled with love and respect for that long tradition and hope for its future.
We value beauty and aesthetic design and believe it’s essential to demonstrate creativity and excellence in what we produce. Part of the way we do this is by championing the role of artists as uplifters, edifiers, and informers of Christian life.
Our History
Love Is Moving began first as a Bible study curriculum for youth, then as a TV series. Love is Moving was founded in 2010 by Joel Gordon and Benjamin Porter with the vision of reviving a biblical concept of love, challenging younger generations to grow deeper in knowing God’s love for them, and living out their faith with passion for Jesus and compassion for people.
Starting in 2013, Love Is Moving became a national magazine, reaching a broad, diverse audience representing 45 denominations and nearly 500 churches. In 2015, Love Is Moving was adopted by the Evangelical Fellowship of Canada.
