Since 2002, RELEVANT has been the leading platform reaching Christian twenty- and thirtysomethings. Covering faith, culture and intentional living, the stories we tell are at the intersection of where a Christ-centered life is really lived. Our magazine is not about "being relevant" (whatever that means)—it's that God is relevant to every aspect of our lives. (And yes, we cover the stuff that's relevant to our readers.)
We reach about 2,300,000 people a month through all of our platforms, publishing every other month in print and iPad, as well as daily online, occasionally on RTV and weekly via our podcast.
Who Are We?
We’re twenty- and thirtysomething Christians seeking God and striving to impact the world around us. We are people who want to live well—outwardly, creatively and intentionally. We are pro-Church and want to love our neighbors as ourselves. We serve the Creator, so we love great art—whether that be redemptive music, movies, books or design. We are daily seeking to show how God is at work in the world and in our generation.
We try to publish ideas that break stereotypes, challenge the status quo and spur a generation to know God more—and change the world while they're at it. We want to engage our generation in a deeper conversation about faith, challenging worldviews and causing people to see God outside the box they’ve put Him in. Encountering God changes things. We believe God is alive and speaking both inside and outside the four walls of the church.
That’s why we cover life issues and culture next to social justice and spiritual growth—to look at the things relevant to our lives and world, and give voice to what God is doing in and through our generation. We believe a lot can be learned by looking more deeply at things that challenge you. But we also believe in the importance of the Church and want to be catalysts for change rather than part of the mass exodus of our generation leaving it.
Christians can’t be complacent living in a Christian bubble and never engaging the world they live in. We want to live the way Jesus did. Through relationship and love, the world was changed. We don’t think believers should be known primarily for legalism and bigotry. We believe in dialogue—about Truth, about faith, about freedom in Christ.
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 (R.I.P., RELEVANT Books), launched RELEVANTmagazine.com in March 2002, the print magazine in March 2003, and our iPad edition in September 2011.
We've added a few brand extensions along the way, including our social justice magazine Reject Apathy, RELEVANT U, RELEVANT.tv and more.
You can subscribe to RELEVANT in a number of ways: in print, on your iPad or both. And every subscription now includes subscriber-only access to magazine content and premium downloads at the website.
Our Purpose
RELEVANT Media Group is a multimedia company whose purpose is to impact culture and give voice to what God is doing in and through our generation. We believe encountering God changes lives, so the magazine looks at how we can live that out in tangible and intentional ways. We talk about culture and real-life issues that other faith-based magazines might shy away from, because we believe it's important to address the gritty stuff of life—even when it makes us uncomfortable. If it's relevant to our readers, you'll find it on our pages.

What We Believe
Whether 20 years into it or just starting out, if you’re at this website you’re probably on a spiritual journey. Christianity is not a destination. No one has it all figured out. And because of that you’ll find the articles in RELEVANT ask questions a lot of others won't, which is something we feel is vital to our spiritual growth.
We need to never stop pursuing Truth and authenticity with passion. But we do believe. We believe that eternal life and the only true freedom is found in Christ. We believe a relationship with Him changes things forever. You are not the person you used to be after you find Him. You may not be perfect—we’re all sinners, after all—but you don’t live the way you used to. Jesus told us to be in the world, yet not of it. We’re supposed to stand out and make a difference. We’re supposed to live for something bigger than ourselves. That’s not something we can magically attain overnight.
Following Christ and figuring out what it means to be like Him is a lifelong quest. It’s the hardest, longest and most rewarding thing we will ever undertake. It is what will define us—not only in this life, but the life to come. For more information about Christianity, we recommend checking out the Bible (it is the source, after all) and finding a good local church where you can meet other people like you.
