Frequently Asked Questions

 

Q: Where can I find reliable Christian news online?

A: If you’re looking for a trusted hub, DiscipleDirect is a free Christian news aggregator that scans over 300 sources daily. Instead of bouncing between dozens of websites, you’ll find the latest stories, theological resources, and discipleship tools all in one place. Our goal is to help believers see current events through a biblical worldview and become better informed in 60 seconds just by reading the headlines.

​​

Q: What makes DiscipleDirect different from other Christian news sites?
A: Many Christian news outlets focus on publishing their own original articles. That’s helpful, but it can be narrow. DiscipleDirect is unique because we aggregate, the site gathers the most important content from hundreds of ministries, publishers, theologians, and trusted news sites, and puts it in one organized directory. Think of us as the  “Drudge Report for Christians,”  but for conservative Christ followers with a biblical worldview.

​

A: We update the site daily Monday through Saturday and is usually updated by in the mornings.

 

Q: Who updates the site and do you take recommendations?

Our main editor, who is also the founder, updates the site by reviewing articles, podcasts, etc., every morning and selects the most relevant content. Content providers are more than welcome to submit articles as well as the public to info@discipledirect.com.

​

Q: Why should I use an aggregator instead of just social media?
A: Social feeds are often noisy, divisive, and algorithm-driven. DiscipleDirect gives you a curated, Christ-centered newsfeed without the clutter. Every link is selected from a Christian or worldview relevant perspective, helping you stay informed while staying grounded in Scripture.

A: Our team scans over 300 trusted sources daily, updating the site six days a week. This makes us one of the most comprehensive and consistently updated Christian news directories online.

 

Q: Does DiscipleDirect promote a specific denomination?

​

Q: What are some of the resources used in aggregating DiscipleDirect?

A: While more than 300 main resources are scanned regularly, numerous other resources are used as well making the official number of sources used well above 300. Since all links are provided directly to the content provider, not all sources are linked on the main Source content page.

​

Q: Who owns DiscipleDirect?

A: DiscipleDirect is an LLC that is privately owned and created by an individual who chooses to remain anonymous.
