Editor’s note: Your overwhelming support for our December 18-20 matching challenge ($72,606 from 213 readers!) inspired a fourth donor to pledge an additional matching gift of $50,000 for all new and increased gifts made before January 1. Help us unlock this additional $50,000 by giving today! ([link removed])
Dear Reader,
You know me as the voice behind the FIRST THINGS podcast, where I converse with people whose books and thought deserve wider appreciation.
Today, you’re hearing from me as the mouthpiece for a different—and just as essential—part of the FIRST THINGS enterprise: the charitable giving without which we could not continue as America’s most influential journal of religion and public life.
Would you lift the voice of FIRST THINGS even higher by making your first gift today?

Reader, your donation will go to FIRST THINGS, but also toward something more: a recovery of the moral and spiritual foundations of Western civilization.
That’s a bold statement, but true. The support of readers like you publishes a magazine whose writers amplify your intentions to a loyal audience of intelligent subscribers, web readers, and podcast listeners.
And your first gift to FIRST THINGS today will amplify those intentions to even more people in 2024.
With only eight days left in 2023, your year-end gift is urgently needed to make possible the magazine, web content, and podcasts that comprise FIRST THINGS. We stand only $206,226 short of our wildly ambitious $1,000,000 campaign goal.

Because of contributions by readers like you, FIRST THINGS remains one of the sturdiest xxxxxxs against the take-no-prisoners march of godless progressivism through our public square and our core institutions, including our schools and (sad to say) our churches . . .
As other publications pinch incense to the secular regime, FIRST THINGS readies itself for the battle. And you have stepped forward with us.
Will you take another step forward with FIRST THINGS today by making your first charitable gift?

Your giving will enable FIRST THINGS to publish clear, forceful arguments on behalf of religious faith and moral principle—arguments that guide the influential religious and conservative leaders to exercise their authority wisely and well.
And your giving will bring these leaders and their institutions into conversation with each other so that we can tackle this project of rebuilding together.
Make your year-end gift to FIRST THINGS today to lead this critical effort of cultural and spiritual renewal. Let’s build together.
