EnglishHow ReKnew Is Funded and How You Can Support It
Updated
ReKnew (reknew.org) is funded entirely by direct support from its readers, not by advertising. The site states that it runs "the way we wished the whole internet worked: we provide high quality original content with no ads" and that it is "funded solely by your direct support." If you value ad-free, original theological content, the two ways to participate described on the site are a direct financial contribution through its "Support Us Now" link and signing up for ReKnew updates by email.
What "No Ads, Reader-Funded" Actually Means
The operating model is stated plainly on the homepage:
- No advertising. ReKnew does not sell ad space on its pages, so the content you read is not interrupted or influenced by sponsors.
- Direct support only. The site says it is funded solely by direct contributions from its audience.
- Original content priority. The stated aim is "high quality original content," which is the thing the funding is meant to sustain.
This is a straightforward donation-style model: readers who find the material valuable cover the cost of producing it. The site does not describe subscription tiers, paywalls, or premium memberships in the material available, so the support relationship appears to be voluntary giving rather than a paid-access arrangement.
How to Support ReKnew
Give directly
The homepage includes a "Support Us Now" link, presented alongside the explanation of the funding model. That is the entry point the site itself offers for financial support. The site does not publish specific amounts, recurring-versus-one-time options, or payment methods in the material available, so check the link itself for those details.
Sign up for updates
The homepage also offers a "Sign Up for ReKnew Updates" email form. Entering your email and submitting it subscribes you to ReKnew's updates. The form includes a validation field (labeled for company/validation purposes) that is part of the standard signup, not something you need to fill in as a reader.
Staying subscribed keeps you informed about new posts, podcast episodes, and books — which is itself a form of participation in the project's reach.
What Your Support Goes Toward
The content the site produces falls into a few visible categories, all of which the reader-funded model supports:
| Category | Examples from the site |
|---|---|
| Recent posts | "The Silly Search for Free Will," "Come Join Greg at ORTLine26!," "NEW BOOK: 'God Looks Like Jesus'," "Love Weeps," "Why Christ, not Scripture, is Our Ultimate Foundation" |
| Podcast episodes | "Will God Resurrect and Judge Every Human Who Has Ever Existed?," "Will Predators Become Vegan in Heaven?," "Why Wouldn't Jesus Coach His Disciples to Pray?," "Can Evil Spirits Repent?," "Is the Church Neglecting Missions?," "How Can I Better Remember the Bible?" |
| Books | Books by Greg (listed on the site) |
| Popular topics | Open Theism, Cruciform Theology, Spiritual Warfare, The Problem of Evil |
The site also points readers to a "Find a like-minded church near you" resource, which extends the same mission beyond the website itself.
Practical Notes Before You Give or Subscribe
- Check the Support Us Now link for current mechanics. The homepage confirms the link exists but does not spell out payment platforms, amounts, or whether giving is recurring. Those details live behind the link.
- Email signup is separate from giving. You can subscribe to updates without contributing financially, and the site presents both options side by side.
- No ad-free "free tier" language. Because the site never mentions ads being optional or removable, don't assume there's a paid ad-free version — the whole site is already ad-free by design.
If the goal is simply to keep the content coming, the two actions the site asks for are the same two it offers: support the project directly, and stay connected through the update list.
