It’s easy to feel discouraged about the church today. Waning Sunday morning attendance, partisan tension, divisive splits within congregations, and growing external hostility toward evangelical faith can leave the impression the church is dying. But the truth is, the church is growing globally—and there are many encouraging signs of life.

Glo is a new podcast from The Gospel Coalition, hosted by four women from diverse backgrounds who are united around a common desire to magnify Christ. Over 10 episodes, you’ll hear conversations about God’s work around the world, in different cultural contexts. When we look at the global church, we see that the gospel of Jesus Christ isn’t losing steam but flourishing in new and amazing ways. God is still at work.
