Christ ian Standard is a “must-read” for me because i t informs me and inspires me. I invest my t ime in a lot of resources, but nothing speaks into my specific ministry as effect ively as Christ ian Standard.
—Arron Chambers, lead minister,Journey Christ ian Church, Fort Coll ins, Colorado
For more than three decades the eternal principles, t imely themes, and relevant insigh ts found week af ter week in T he Lookou t have strengthened my family life, church life, and personal walk wi th Christ.
—Tom Claibourne, ministerBethlehem Church of Christ, Winchester, Ohio
I read Christ ian Standard for three very good reasons. First, i t’s a ministry toolbox full of pract ical help on training leaders, discipling families, finding good resources, and much more. Second, i t’s a theological gathering place where we can think through the doctrinal issues of the day in conversat ion wi th other Christ ian leaders. Third, every tribe needs a story teller, and in this tribe called the Restorat ion Movement, Christ ian Standard tells the stories of our people, relat ionally connect ing me to other congregat ions, ministries, and belivers.
—Mat t Proctor, presidentOzark Christ ian College, Joplin, Missouri
T he Lookou t is rich fare for the soul. Its pages inspire, challenge, and encourage me both in ministry and in my personal life.
—Tom Ellsworth, ministerSherwood Oaks Christ ian Church, Bloomington, IN
Christ ian Standard is an old magazine wi th fresh, new energy. I rely on i t to keep our team envisioned informed, challenged, and equipped. The wri t ing is reliably intelligent, relevant, and probing. It’s not the only tool we use to shape and sharpen our leaders, but it’s one we trust and are grateful to have in our kit.
—Ben Cachiaras, senior pastor,Mountain Christ ian Church, Joppa, Maryland
T he Lookou t cont inues to be a source of personal inspirat ion and encouragement to me. The insigh ts of biblical tru ths undergird my Christ ian life. I look forward to i ts fresh, new themes each week.

Christ ian Standard is a “must-read” for me because i t informs me and inspires me. I invest my t ime in a lot of resources, but nothing speaks into my specific ministry as effect ively as Christ ian Standard.
—Arron Chambers, lead minister,Journey Christ ian Church, Fort Coll ins, Colorado
For more than three decades the eternal principles, t imely themes, and relevant insigh ts found week af ter week in T he Lookou t have strengthened my family life, church life, and personal walk wi th Christ.
—Tom Claibourne, ministerBethlehem Church of Christ, Winchester, Ohio
I read Christ ian Standard for three very good reasons. First, i t’s a ministry toolbox full of pract ical help on training leaders, discipling families, finding good resources, and much more. Second, i t’s a theological gathering place where we can think through the doctrinal issues of the day in conversat ion wi th other Christ ian leaders. Third, every tribe needs a story teller, and in this tribe called the Restorat ion Movement, Christ ian Standard tells the stories of our people, relat ionally connect ing me to other congregat ions, ministries, and belivers.
—Mat t Proctor, presidentOzark Christ ian College, Joplin, Missouri
T he Lookou t is rich fare for the soul. Its pages inspire, challenge, and encourage me both in ministry and in my personal life.
—Tom Ellsworth, ministerSherwood Oaks Christ ian Church, Bloomington, IN
Christ ian Standard is an old magazine wi th fresh, new energy. I rely on i t to keep our team envisioned informed, challenged, and equipped. The wri t ing is reliably intelligent, relevant, and probing. It’s not the only tool we use to shape and sharpen our leaders, but it’s one we trust and are grateful to have in our kit.
