Founded in June 2000, RELEVANT Media Group has been the leader reaching Christian twenty- and thirtysomethings.

RELEVANT is an independent media company that strives to give voice to what God is doing in and through this generation. We believe a relationship with God is relevant to all aspects of life—from our careers, to relationships, to social justice, how we engage culture and more—so that's what our media covers.  

Media for a Generation of World-Changers

An small company with a big vision, RELEVANT reaches millions of people each month through RELEVANTmagazine.com, podcasts, social media, our magazine and video content. 

We’re Christians seeking God and striving to impact the world around us. We are people who want to live well—outwardly, spiritually, creatively and intentionally. We are daily seeking to show how God is at work in the world and in our generation.

We strive to publish ideas that break stereotypes, challenge status quo and spur a generation to know God and impact their world. We want to engage a deeper conversation about faith and help people see God outside the box they’ve put Him in. We believe a lot can be learned by looking more deeply at things that may challenge you. 

We believe in dialogue—about Truth, faith and culture. Christians can’t be complacent living in a Christian bubble and never engaging the world they live in. We also believe in the importance of the Church. We want to be catalysts for change.

our story

Cameron Strang founded RELEVANT Media Group on June 1, 2000, when he was 24. It’s a self-contained, for-profit business not affiliated with any other companies, denominations or organizations.

We published books from 2001-2006, launched RELEVANTmagazine.com in March 2002, published our print magazine from 2003-2020, launched the RELEVANT Podcast in 2005 and our digital magazine in 2011 (in addition to a handful of other endeavors over the years, like Radiant, Neue and Reject Apathy).  We’ve reinvented ourselves several times along the way.

how we work (our AI policy)

The RELEVANT team is continually trying to innovate, is passionate to give voice to what God is doing today and wants to spur this generation to change the world. 

Every story RELEVANT publishes starts and ends with human editorial direction and judgment. Our editors decide what we cover, our journalists conduct every interview, and our Publisher reviews our daily coverage for accuracy, fairness, mission and voice before it reaches you.

Like most modern newsrooms, we use AI tools in parts of our production process — research, drafting and formatting — always under the direction and review of our editorial team. Our goal is to make repetitive, time-consuming aspects of the process more efficient for this new era of multiplatform publishing. AI never decides what RELEVANT covers, never conducts an interview, and never publishes without human review.

Our bylines mean what they say:

• "By [name]" — this person wrote the piece.

• "Interview by [name]" — this journalist conducted the interview the story is built on; the story itself was produced by our editorial team.

• "RELEVANT Staff" — daily news coverage produced collaboratively by our editorial team.

All of our reporting is rigorously fact-checked, and quotations are never invented, altered or "smoothed." If we get something wrong, we correct it and say so. Corrections and concerns: editorial@relevantmagazine.com
