A MESSAGE FROM THE POUR OVER

Not conservative. Not liberal. Just Christian.

The world feels chaotic––but your news source doesn’t have to.

You can hide under a rock or spiral into the chaos… or you can subscribe to The Pour Over and get the news you need to know and the peace you crave.

Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, The Pour Over sends quick news summaries that are actually fun to read. Plus, each newsletter includes short biblical reminders to help you stay focused on Christ and eternity. Instead of fueling outrage or anxiety, the news becomes another prompt to rest in God and respond in faith.

Over 1 million readers have ditched the doomscroll and found a better way to stay informed––Christ-first, anger-free, and (kinda) funny.
