We first discovered Ligonier in 1994 while serving in the military in Germany when a friend shared a VHS tape "Choosing My Religion", by RC Sproul. My wife and I were both captivated by the clear, succinct, persuasive yet gentle teaching by RC. Fast forward to 1999 when our church in Japan featured RC's "Holiness of God" series, which left an indelible impression on who God is, who I am, and our relationship secured through Christ. We've followed and supported Ligonier to include their National Conferences for several years now as few other Christian ministries have the level of commitment to Biblical truth, quality, depth, and pursuit of excellence. Our daughter attended Reformation Bible College (RBC) which effectively prepared her to serve as a writer/reporter for a Christian nonprofit with an international audience in the heart of Washington DC. She attributes her commitment and preparedness in large part to RBC's quality education and ongoing mentoring.Beyond edification, preparation of the body of Christ and RBC's higher education program, Ligonier also has a prison and world-wide ministry, translating the Bible into new languages in an on-going effort to reach the nations with the life-giving Gospel of Christ. As a fellow believer by the grace and mercy of God, I encourage your consideration to support this time-tested, trusted, dynamic and effective ministry.
I am incredibly grateful for the impact R.C. Sproul's teachings have had on my Christian walk. His sermons, grounded in the Word of God, have truly opened my eyes to the greatness of our Lord Jesus Christ. I've come to understand the depth of His tender mercies and the daily grace we receive. Ligonier Ministries is a powerful force in my spiritual growth, and I appreciate the work Christ is doing through them. Thank you for the rich foundation you provide!
We began looking for churches/ministries that faithfully preached The Word of God when the church we attended began to veer from the Truth. My wife and son discovered Ligonier and Dr. Sproul's teaching, which we found very refreshing and Biblically sound. The resources Ligonier Ministries provides are engaging and thought provoking. We have enjoyed the Reformed faith conferences and speakers and have developed a deeper look at the Bible and are learning to, as Dr. Sproul put it, "know God."
Who would have thought my whole family would be enjoying reading and building a library of works from 15th century (and more modern) Theologians? We are so happy God led us to this rich and joyful ministry!
We pray for LIgonier Ministries and the various leaders and speakers, that they would stay true to The Word and continue to share the wonderful Gospel.
The Bookers (Jim, Lanae, Benton, Olivia and Ever)
A wonderful ministry that teaches and shares the Truth of the gospel.
We have been a part of Ligonier ministries for 27 years,and are so thankful
for the teaching and sharing the Truth of scripture in many facets,
in conferences around the world, publishing and distribution of Christian books,
Table Talk magazine, and teaching series by many reformed theologians.
Ligonier has been a part of my daily worship for the past 15 years. When RC Sproul went to be with the Lord in December of 2017, though I was never fortunate enough to meet the man, I bawled my eyes out as if he was my own Grandfather. I know for certain that my story is not unique to me. That is the impact of Ligonier. The spiritual growth that I was able to receive from the remote fellowship over the years - via many of the different recordings and resources Ligonier has made available - has left me forever indebted and grateful to them.
Soli Deo Gloria
Many years ago, back in the days when there were brick and mortar Christian bookstores, I discovered R.C. Sproul's book, The Holiness of God. I read it and learned a great deal from it. At first, I feared it my be arduous, theological reading. Instead, I found it was written in a gripping style that the ordinary layman could easily understand. It was eyeopening and enthralling and left me wanting to read more. Shortly after that, I discovered that R.C. Sproul had a radio broadcast on a Christian radio station in the San Francisco Bay Area. I became a regular listener and then I started contributing to Ligonier Ministries because I wanted to support a ministry that was so deep and thorough, yet understandable by the ordinary believer in the pews. I began subscribing to Table Talk and found the devotional to be excellent food for my soul. I also appreciated the articles included in the magazine which discussed theological issues, Reformed theology and everyday topics and their effect on the Christian's life.
With the arrival of the internet, I was able to follow the studies online and to tune into lectures, sermons and conferences. Over the years, I have had occasion to contact the Ligonier Ministries office to order something or to ask a question about a book or a subscription and I have been treated cordially. My question was answered and what I was inquiring about was dealt with professionally, courteously and competently. The ministry occasionally sends out pamphlets, Christian literature and sometimes even a book. I appreciate the fact that Ligonier deals with contemporary issues in a sensible, biblical way. It's been a long time since I first started contributing to Ligonier and I haven't regretted it. I highly recommend this ministry for its integrity, fidelity to the Scriptures and its devotion to getting the gospel out to this needy world. Recently, I have had health issues and, when I requested prayers, Ligonier reached out to me to see how I was doing. With all the requests they have to deal with, I didn't expect them to follow to see how I was doing. A very Chritian thing to do.
I can only give my highest praise to Ligonier Ministries.
Ligonier is a shining light for the gospel all over the world. It is exciting to see how the Lord is using Ligonier to reach the lost with the gospel and to strengthen the church with the many teaching resources. Praise God! I am thankful for the teaching ministry of Ligonier and pray God will continue to use this ministry to advance His Kingdom and to bring glory to His Holy name.
It was around 2016 when I was genuinely struggling with the church that my husband and I were members of and attended weekly, including hosting a weekly small group at our home. We looked into other churches in our area for proper Bible teaching, but there weren't any churches we could see ourselves involved with. Our church was getting larger, with over 10,000 in weekly attendance. The preaching was getting less, the praise singing and performance worship were getting bigger, and some popular voices were making their way onto the stage. My family and I continued reading our Bibles and having our study time at home, knowing God had a plan. At about the end of 2018, I searched YouTube for other ministries. I stumbled across Ligonier Ministries and began to listen and learn. Wow! I couldn't believe what I was hearing. The speakers were genuinely teaching God's truth. In one episode, the moderator mentioned Ligonier's Table Talk Magazine to subscribe to to extend my daily Bible reading and study. I also subscribed to my two eldest sons serving in the military. From reading Table Talk for about six months, I learned about Ligonier Connect. Ligonier Connect is meant for group Bible study, and they offer individuals the opportunity to subscribe and participate with others from around the world to study together on their own time. I began with one of RC Sproul's teachings and was amazed at the content. I have since completed many of the lessons offered on Ligonier Connect. Two years ago we welcomed our first daughter-in-law into our family. She had only received salvation about a month before their marriage. I invited her to meet with me once a week for weekly Bible study, and we use the Ligonier Connect studies as our learning platform. We still meet to this day and are currently studying Doctrines of Grace by Dr. Steve Lawson. It has been such a fantastic experience to watch this young lady and young Christian grow in her relationship with the Lord. Last year we moved to Texas and had to find a new church home. Because of everything we have learned in the Bible about what makes an excellent Bible-teaching church, we were able to join a local church that happens to follow the same theology as Ligonier Ministries. It has been such a blessing.
Of the several Christian ministries I have supported over the last 40+ years, Ligonier is the one I have supported the longest. I began supporting them in the mid 1980s when I started listening to their radio program daily. I immediately knew the emphasis on the holiness of God and deep Biblical teaching from a historically reformed perspective was important to my growth and obedience as a Christian, but also was the most faithful to the biblical text. Over the years i can point to Ligonier Ministries as one source that God has used most to develop my faith and create consistency of word and deed in my life.
Their many video series, books and periodicals have helped me to develop as a follower of Jesus. I consider Ligonier the single finest Christian Ministry on the earth that promotes a love of God’s Word, a reverent knowledge of the Holiness of God and a deep respect and fervor for serving the two earthly spheres of the Church and the World. The ministry of Ligonier, in writing and media, addresses every part of life so has been influential in all areas of my life. My prayer is that God, as well as your organization, will bless Ligonier with a “ well done good and faithful servant”.
We were exhorted to listen to the local Christian radio station by the friend who first invited us to attend Bible Study Fellowship. Renewing your Mind was our favorite segment and listening to RC Sproul helped strengthen our faith and love for the Lord. One particular day Dr. Sproul was teaching on the doctrine of predestination, and it made a huge impact on us giving us an understanding why a Sovereign God would show so much grace to undeserving humans. During the Covid pandemic a dear friend introduced us to Reformed Theology and invited us to attend our first Ligonier Conference. The result was our increased awe for God and a heightened sense of gratitude for calling us to know His Son Jesus Christ.
Subscribing to TABLETALK, attending conferences and listening to the excellent teaching on the Ligonier's website has made a great impact on our Christian Walk.
My husband and I have been using Ligonier resources for many years and have benefited greatly. We praise God for this ministry!
Ligonier Ministries has inspired a legacy of godliness for three generations of our family. We cherish the daily messages, Bible studies, and conference experiences all brought forth by the incredible wisdom of the Ligonier leadership. As our four young boys have grown and matured, we have shared the teachings of Ligonier in family devotions and at Ligonier conferences. It is with a sense of wonder that they attentively listen to the messages and participate in special learning experiences.
We rejoice in the many blessings that we have gained as we learn together to love Christ and to live in the fullness of His joy!

Oh, what a beautiful day to praise the Lord for the majesty of the world! And I thank Ligonier Ministries for nurturing my growth by bringing into focus the wonders of the scriptures. My life has been profoundly impacted by the opportunities to engage in personal and corporate Bible studies using the incredible Ligonier resources. Tabletalk and Renewing Your Mind messages guide my thoughts, prayers, and actions each day. I am very thankful to the wise and strong Ligonier leadership who share the fullness of God's love and who bring their programs to the world. God's love is shining through all the Ligonier teachings...how blessed we are!!
I have been a Ligonier Ministries student since the mid-eighties and I've been blessed abundantly. Since 1971 Ligonier has developed the best biblical and theological library in the world. And now the message of Dr. R.C. Sproul, with his clear and vital teaching and engaging personality, is available to everyone through the internet.
Ligonier is absolutely the best Christian Education ministry on the planet! And this is what the world needs more than anything. We need an awakening to the truth and holiness of God in Christ.
Our association with Ligonier Ministries spans many years. Tabletalk Magazine, REFNET, Ligonier Connect, and Renewing Your Mind are excellent sources for our spiritual growth. Ligonier's National Conferences and Reformation study tours have given us the opportunity for additional in-depth Bible teachings along with the fellowship of other believers. The teachings of Ligonier Ministries are trustworthy as they are biblically based. It is an honor and a privilege to support the mission and outreaches of Ligonier Ministries! "O magnify the Lord with me and let us exalt His name together" (Psalm 34:3).
I use their app every day. I love listening to the daily teachings of Renewing Your Mind and The Daily Video.
The event link is also terrific. I can listen to all the past conferences as well as the current livestreamed ones. The index link is helpful for studying scripture and for studying Christian living or church history.
I am so thankful for all the teachings they make available for free.
As a disciple of our Lord Jesus Christ, I believe in supporting many Christ-centered organizations. These organizations, however, must provide assistance to others in the body of Christ or in His name. Ligonier meets both criteria and frankly is one of my favorite donor organizations because of the benefits I in turn receive from it in my walk with Christ.
They lift high the name of Jesus, His Word is Truth and they seek to make disciples in all nations. What a joy and encouragement their reading and teaching materials are in multiple languages and using a plethora of media choices. Their stance is always Reformed in its teachings.
I personally use Table Talk as my daily devotional and also utilize it to read through God's Word each year. As Dr. Sproul pointed out many times, everyone is a Theologian and with the assistance of Ligonier, I understand and can espouse what I believe and why, which enables me to encourage others and defend my faith.
In coram deo (before face of God) is what Ligonier believes and as much as everyone misses Dr. Sproul the ministry continues strong even after his death because it wasn't built on him, but is built on the solid rock of our Triune God and His Word.
Ligonier does not disappoint but will challenge you to walk closer and to encourage others to do likewise.
Ligonier Ministries has been my go-to source for trustworthy bible teaching for 28 years (since 1995). Their teaching resources are so abundant and easily accessible in so many online and written formats. They cover seemly every biblical theological topic. I can easily find answers to my theological questions and find comfort and practical answers in my walk with the Lord. While encouraging me to study the bible myself to make sure their teaching is correct, I have never been disappointed. They have encouraged and comforted me in pointing me to God’s word to show His sovereign providential grace for my assurance of salvation and God’s nearness and care in my daily walk in all life challenges. This has been true even in times of great suffering and crisis. The teachers at Ligonier such as R. C. Sproul and the teaching fellows along with everyone who represent Ligonier truly represent the Lord Jesus Christ well as examples of those who faithfully live out what they teach. Their ultimate goal has been and continues to be to glorify God in His holiness, and they have accomplished that for me and many others who I know. I am so thankful to God that their outreach is far and wide around the world and growing rapidly. I pray and trust God that I and many can count on them in the future to continue to always be faithful to God’s call to them to help the church be faithful in doctrine and life. I gladly recommend Ligonier Ministries to anyone to find salvation, comfort, and growing faith in Christ through their bible teachings.
I focus here on what is most important to me about Ligoinier Ministries, while attempting not to be repetitive of other fine reviews. Becoming a Christian as an adult in 1993, I sought resources far and wide to help me understand the Bible. I heard "Renewing Your Mind" radio which lead me to Ligonier's TABLETALK magazine. This incredible resource offers theological insight on God's Word. Typically, Tabletalk covers a book each year, broken down day by day. Here's what the reader receives: time-tested, commentary from theologians worldwide who have studied Hebrew, Greek, Latin, ancient history and culture, and their compositions written so a layperson can understand. And there are cross references for further study. Not only did I learn the Word, but the writers sat me down at the feet of Augustine, Aquinas, Martin Luther, John Calvin, Johnathan Edwards, RC Sproul and others to learn from the Greats! Where do you go learn the historic Christian controversies, the truth about what was at stake regarding the Bible? I know of no other current ministry as resourceful and engaging as Ligonier! And, the gift Dr. RC Sproul gave us before his passing, is the Reformation Study Bible - where many theologians labored to include the best footnotes and commentary I've every come across these many years later. May our LORD continue to bless Ligonier Ministries mightily! CM
My family has been privileged to partner with Ligonier Ministries for over 1.5 years. We have greatly benefited from Ligonier's Bible teaching and we are thankful to help them in their mission to help spread the Gospel and teach people about the holiness of God. Ligonier is working to translate the Bible and other teaching resources into many languages, and their work is helping to save people "from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages."
Coming to Christ late in my life has driven me to nonstop study and research. At 69 in 2003 I was encouraged begin attending the annual Legonier conferences in Orlando (I have rarely missed any.) By absorbing the intellect of countless speakers has broadened and deepened my progress as a pilgrim on the long road to salvation. It has been my greatest privilege to have watched and listen to the, recently departed, founder, Dr. R. C. Sproul, possibly one of the most educated and knowledgable theologian of the past 2,000 years. I have an extensive library of Dr. Sproul's apologetics, including the outstanding expository classes of the many noted scholars of Ligonier, accumulating a substantial library of their excellent classes. The book store of Legonier associated materials has been a God send, and has caused me to go home with book after book and DVDs that I periodical review, enjoying years of education and enlightenment.
I have benefited greatly from this faithful ministry. I have found them to engage both the heart and the mind in ways that have shaped me in profound ways. I will gladly commend Ligonier to anyone who wants to dive more deeply into the scriptures and reformed theology.
Ligonier Ministries has been a true blessing to our church. The classes on Ligonier Connect have been important in the spiritual growth for a number of our members here at the church. I have also used these resources to prepare for classes that I teach. They have been quick to respond to questions and provide the help we need in sharing the gospel.
I have grown so much listening to RC and the fellows at Ligonier. What would I do without their wisdom and knowledge teaching me the doctrines of the word of God. Now I am leading a Ladies study using Ligonier‘s materials. I am so thankful for this ministry and encourage everyone around to be a part of Ligonier.
With so many unbiblical Bible teachings out there, I’m thankful to have found a ministry that teaches solid truth.
We have found our experience with Ligonier Ministries has grown exponentially with each passing year. Many non-profits are transactional. They communicate close to big events and the organization is silent till the next donor event. Ligonier is the complete opposite. Their outreach is purposeful. The frequency of their contact enables relationships to be forged. A true distinction of Ligonier Ministries is they have a "long view" of and take a deep interest in their ministry partners. I have found, without exception, this trait is woven throughout the culture and been sustained but the next generation of leadership.

Ligonier Ministries has blessed millions since 1971. My active support of the ministry in 2016. But I have listened to the teaching of the ministry's founder, the late Dr. R.C. Sproul, much longer. The teaching of Dr. Sproul and the Ligonier fellows changed my views on theology and drew me closer to God. I could not help but want to contribute to their work.
Fortunately, Ligonier has over 50 years of Dr. Sproul's teaching on tape, which continues to be a blessing, but so is the gifted ongoing teaching of so many other pastors and scholars affiliated with the ministry. Ligonier endeavors to reach out to as many nations as possible. It produces Bibles and much of its teaching in many languages and ships them worldwide. There is much confusion about historical Christianity and Biblical truth in our world. Ligonier brings clarity to these issues in a world where confusion about them is the norm.
My library contains almost 100 books either written by Dr. Sproul or affiliated scholars of Ligonier or books recommended by them. I also receive and read daily Ligonier's Tabletalk Magazine. Additionally, Ligonier provides seminars around the nation, many of which it has been my honor to attend.
This is a nonprofit ministry committed to honor and integrity because it takes Christ's direction in Matthew 28-19-20 seriously, "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you." It is my honor to contribute to the worthy and noble work of this ministry
My wife and I have been Ligonier Ministry Partners for several years, and we recently increased our monthly support - we want to contribute as much as our budget allows because we know that Ligonier maximizes every dollar we send. Specifically, we know, due to Ligonier's fiscal transparency with its Ministry Partners, that Ligonier focuses its finances on critical ministry priorities, including: effective global outreach, high-quality publishing, engaging and timely podcasting, and building and delivering innovative learning platforms - all of which singularly focus on proclaiming the truth of scripture, the power of the gospel, and reformed theology. Ligonier's annual conferences are always excellent with great attention to detail as to the content of the teaching as well as the physical logistics of venues. Additionally, Ligonier personnel are friendly, responsive, and prompt in answering any questions we have. All of these experiences regularly confirm for us that our financial support for Ligonier is well worth it!
My wife and I have "partnered" with Ligonier Ministries ever since Dr. Sproul moved it to Orlando, FL and I we attended every winter conference there from 1983 until my retirement from pastoral ministry in 2012.
I attended Ligonier's pastors' conferences and several special meetings throughout my active ministry as a Presbyterian Teaching Elder and we have been "Tape of the Month" partners for decades.
My library is full of Ligonier books, cassettes, VHS tapes, CD's and DVD's on many subjects that I have taught in church and small group settings. My ministry has been mord fruitful because of me access to Dr. Sproul and his "team" of theologians, pastors and staff that bring sound biblical, theological and pastoral teaching into churches through media and conferences.
Exceptional Christian ministry that promotes and teaches sound, theological doctrine that is crucial to both maturing the minds of Christians, and reaching those who have never heard the gospel before.
Ligonier has been the most influential ministry in my life for close to 25 years now. Though I knew little about Reformed Theology, I had begun attending a church that supported Ligonier and had availed the congregation to Ligonier's monthly Tabletalk Magazine. As I read the articles and daily devotions, the Spirit began to awaken my understanding to the massive impact of God's sovereignty over ALL things. I eventually attended one of Ligonier's annual conferences and was set on a path to a greater hunger and thirst for the truth, for a deeper understanding and knowledge of our holy God and His Son Jesus Christ. The teaching and preaching of RC Sproul and others over the years has served to illuminate the scriptures to me and has provoked a holy reverence for the Lord, His Word, His ways, His wisdom, His mercy, faithfulness, and grace, and so much more! Ligonier's fairly new addition of RefNet, a 24/7 online app, with its Scripture reading, a wide variety of teachers, music, conference series, audio books, devotions, Q&As, etc. provides a solid, consistent, Biblical supplement to fellowship in my local body and never fails to provide food for thought and meditation--and PRAISE! Ligonier's books and vast library of resources on just about every topic are rich and theologically sound. Ligonier is reaching people in multiple languages all over the globe, proclaiming the holiness of God, resulting in a proper fear of and love for Him. I've not found any other ministry that compares on this level.
Ligonier has been a part of my life for over a decade. Its vast library of solid Christian teachings helped me grow in my knowledge of the Scriptures, and in my understanding of the Biblical doctrines. It helped me build a firm foundation of Christian faith, which empowered me to be able to better discern the truth from a lie, whether at the pulpit, or in social matters. I love how Ligonier teaches about holiness of God, and how very reverend they are toward God and his Word. I use the Ligonier app almost every day, starting with the Renewing Your Mind podcast, through RC’s varies teachings. I also follow their conferences, which always feature world’s top Biblical scholars and teachers, and provide amazing insights.
Love this devotional! It’s the perfect size to keep in a bag or purse to pull out and read when you’re out and about and also to share with others. The subscription is a great gift idea as well!
My husband and I spent our whole lives in the church and didn’t know that we weren't saved. Many things happened at around the same time: we felt overwhelmingly like it was wrong to be in that church and to listen to sermons full of hip references and almost zero Bible, a church that affirms everyone and no one ever has to repent, where, as RC Sproul put it, we had no idea of the holiness of God — who God is, and who we are. RC described it as “garbage theology,” lol, and I came to see that it is true: the people there made up their own Mr. Rogers/Barney the Dinosaur God who loves everybody just the way they are. This is completely wrong: if you never have to repent, you can’t be saved, and if you can’t be saved, you are in big trouble. We never had to repent in our former church, and I never felt saved. It was all about works, trying harder and doing better. We found a different church and were re-baptized two years ago. God is so good! We support Ligonier monthly because we have gotten so much out of the ministry and also out of RefNet. I have listened to so many sermons on the Ligonier app and on Refnet. Refnet introduced me to RC, to Alistair Begg and John MacArthur. And Charles Spurgeon and the Valley of Vision! I support this ministry because I want others to have this same opportunity.
Ligonier Ministries is a fantastic Christian nonprofit. They present a Reformed Orthodox position and nourish the mind and well as the soul. As a chaplain in OPERATION IRAQI FREEDOM I could alway count on them to provide needed devotional and other Christian literature for the troops free of charge. I have been a partner for 25 years.
Ligonier Ministry has been part of our lives for some 15 years. We love to hear RC Sproul. My son, David , loves to say that RC doesn't preach at you, he teaches and he is more gentle and inviting. He makes you think with questions and truly helps you to "renew our minds". Dr Sproul was also a great comfort to my wife during her last 3- 1/2 years of life from kidney failure. She was so excited to buy me the Reformation Study Bible by RC when it came out in 2016. We continue to be blessed by Ligonier Ministry and excited to hear about new developments the Lord Savior Jesus Christ would bring this way. ly
Ligonier exemplifies excellence in all they do to promote truth and understanding of theology, the Bible, God, and so much more. I have used the resources offered for years including Tabletalk, Renewing Your Mind, And Ligonier Connect. The Annual Conference is a mountain top experience of solid teaching about God and His word.
I have both read Tabletalk and I am in a Bible study in which Tabletalk is a key part of the leader’s teaching. I have found this source to have excellent spiritual insights. It has been a solid source for learning and reflection.
My personal experience with this organization is relatively new. Previously I have only benefited from it through others who have been involved. From the app online I have watched quite a few teaching videos and read very challenging articles for free. I appreciate being able to watch teaching sessions/sermons from great teachers like R.C. Sproul who I did not hear much when he was still here with us. As well as voices from the past, there are speakers addressing very current issues. These help me to better approach the difficult issues in our country and world today through a Biblical lens. My own faith is thus challenged and strengthened, for which I am very grateful.
Faithful, high quality resource that will have a long term positive impact on Christians’ walk with the Lord.
I'm currently a US Army chaplain. Ligonier Ministries have natured my relationship with Christ. Their gracious gifts (books/DVDs on renowned preachers and theologians) have enabled me to deepen my understanding of God and my identity as a pastor and chaplain for Soldiers in the US Army. In particular, Ligonier Ministries has been an awesome representative of the Reformed faith. Thank you for your ministry and support to all US Army chaplains. Your partnership and ministry have made an impact on Soldiers indirectly!

As an unfunded Chaplain volunteer with the Blue Ridge Regional Jail Authority , Bedford site Maximum Security pods : Ligonier Ministries has AND continues to provide "TABLETALK" for the Men !!!
The Exceptional , extraordinary support by Stephen Romig - Joe Torres (and anyone who recieves a call for assistance) is the "Norm" for Ligonier Ministries .

GOD granting me the Mercy and Grace to ✝️Witness✝️ HIS Supernatural and Miraculous Power at work in HIS Word with this Man ☝️☝️
Not having the capabilities (or ability) to print a transcript of Dr.R.C. Sprouls sermon on the Marterdom of the Apostles , and wanting the Men to have this hard copy in hand , i asked for Stephens help ; and he came thru for me !!! Stephen , (the Sr. Prison - Chaplain outreach specialist - title) didn't delegate this but got on it himself - a Doer - not just a 'talker' .
THANKYOU Ligonier Ministries ‼️‼️
Ligonier has been an wonderful resource for my growth in the word of God. I was blessed to find the Renewing your mind program on television (starting with the Dust to Glory Series) when I first became a Christian. It was very clear that of all the Christian broadcasts and resources that I saw, the Ministry of Ligonier was the most faithful to the truth of God's word. I very highly commend this ministry to any Christian-whatever their level of growth is.

Whenever I need a resource for myself or to give to someone else, the first place I turn is to Ligonier. 30 years ago I found the teaching of R.C. Sproul on the library shelf of our church and could not get enough of the teaching. My appetite has continued for more and more of what Ligonier has to offer. From Tabletalk to the amazing library of reliable books and music to Ligonier Connect to RefNet, to the Ligonier App to Reformation Bible College, to the digital productions and study guides....I could go on and on. The new biography that has just been released about R.C. gives amazing insight into the grace of God in his life and relationship with God and his astounding grasp of the Holiness of God and the sinfulness of man, leading to our need for the saving grace of our creator. The wonderful gift of the men R.C. left behind to continue the work of Ligonier is a tribute to his humble understanding that a ministry is not about the man, but about the work. For this reason Ligonier is sure to continue to grow for a very long time to come. Soli Deo Gloria!
Paul and Judy Hon
Ligonier came into my life after reading The Consequences of Ideas by RC Sproul. After reading his book, I found I could not get enough of his teaching and began purchasing everything I could get my hands on. Listening to Renewing Your Mind every morning helps me begin the morning with God, and all the teaching series enlighten my walk every day. During 2020 they became my true north for trustworthy theology teaching, and through Ask Ligonier, they also contributed by answering all my questions. I feel very grateful for this ministry! In a world that is going crazy, it is reassuring to have a trustworthy source!
I am very thankful for all the work they do and pray for God to continue using them forever!

Ligonier Ministries with their teaching pastors and professors have encouraged and equipped my walk with the Lord for many years. This online resource is priceless for learning the Word and the character of God. I have also found their book selection covers every topic!
'Ask Ligonier' online is also an amazing resource for questions!!
In the 90's my mentor introduced me to RC Sproul via cassette tapes. I was immediately captivated by his clear, deep teaching that was sprinkled with humor and saturated with a high view of God. Dr. Sproul's teaching helped strengthen my "flabby faith," and open my eyes to God's Sovereignty in election.
God used Ligonier Ministries to equip me to teach a woman's Bible Study for 15+ years. I used the many resources of Ligonier to help prepare my weekly lectures. I am forever grateful!
My wife andI struggled for years to mine the beauty of God’s Word fully. We have received excellent Biblical teaching in our church but always sensed a lack of tying together the various parts of Biblical teaching into a coherent whole.
Ligonier has filled this gap exceptionally well. While we have profited from every aspect of the ministry, the courses found in Ligonier Connect have been the most valuable for us. Challenging passages and deep doctrinal truths are explained in ways that average church goers like us can grasp and apply. We took courses part-time at a leading reformed seminary for years, but never grew in understanding like we have with the Ligonier courses. I can’t recommend them enough.
We support this ministry and will for as long as the Lord grants us the ability.

We use Ligonier materials almost every day. Tabletalk and the Ligonier Commect courses are the daily resources.
We attended seminary for several years and find that the Ligonier teaching is actually more helpful than those seminary courses for our growth.
The teaching is deep and Biblically sound, but also very pastoral. Highly recomended for all who are in Christ.
I can’t recall when I found Ligonier-or when Ligonier found me!
While having grown up in a reformed household and attending a reformed church, the church began failing in its sound biblical teaching. The worldview became important.
The sound Biblical teaching of Ligonier has helped me reclaim my knowledge and understanding of what the Bible says.
The teaching is 1) at a level that everyone can understand 2) is presented with the explanation of how the culture/thinking/worldview at the time of the relevant scriptures impacted the audience of the time 3) is presented as God’s word and how we need to understand it as Christians.
I can’t say enough about how much Ligonier has impacted me. They strive to teach the Bible, not how the Bible fits into our world.
Ligonier has made me a better Christian as the teaching has pushed to back into the Word. Rediscovering the Joy of God knowing me (and what that means) before the foundations of the world were laid and the love that God has shown me.
I look forward to hearing about the new ways Ligonier is spreading the Gospel. The Biblical truths not what people want God be is always presented!
I thank God for this Ministry- not often enough- if it can help someone like me understand better, I know it can help others as well
Ligonier Ministries, especially the teaching of R.C. Sproul, Robert Godfrey, and Steven Lawson has been transformational in my spiritual growth and understanding of God. I would compare this growth to formerly looking at God backwards through a telescope. If you have ever done that, things seem so small. Now I see Him through the correct lens and how big and magnificent is our Sovereign God. Before I held to the popular view that most "Christians" have today with the emphasis on man and man's choosing of God. Now I see Scripture showing so clearly that we are saved by Him, for Him, through Him, and from Him (His wrath). I praise God for the obedience of His servants like R.C. Sproul in the founding of this ministry. I am now part of a church plant whose mission statement says: "God is the only Sovereign, King of Kings, and Lord of lords, and we recognize our existence is to bring glory to God the Father through our Lord Jesus Christ and by the power of the Holy Spirit". In part, due to the influence of Ligonier, we are sharing God's truths, boldly proclaiming what Scripture so clearly teaches. May all glory and honor be given to the triune God and how He is using Ligonier to build His Kingdom.

There are few organizations more dedicated to proclaiming the holiness and sovereignty of God and the central place of the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ to a world in profound need of the truth of the gospel than Ligonier Ministries. It has been our great honor to come alongside this ministry in its ongoing work of equipping the saints and expanding the witness of Scripture to as much of the world as possible, fulfilling the Great Commission. The priceless legacy of the late Dr. R. C. Sproul not only lives but thrives. We can't wait to see what God has in store for this ministry in the next fifty years.
My husband first started listening to the teaching of Dr. Sproul back in the early 1990’s. He shared these resources with me, which were instrumental in my spiritual growth. I found the resources to be especially helpful by providing a greater understanding of God’s attributes, specifically His holiness and sovereignty. This led to a clarification of the Gospel that moved me from a man-centered to God-centered soteriology. A right understanding of God’s Word and the implications of the Gospel has deepened my love for God and others. The clarity and understanding provided, not only by Dr. Sproul, but also by the other teaching fellows, has been a consistent source of reliable teaching that has impacted me in every area of my life. Over the years, my husband and I have continued to benefit from the teaching, resources, and teaching tours offered by Ligonier. We have shared the resources with others and often hear responses like, “After years of confusion, the Bible finally makes sense”. I am grateful to God for Ligonier’s continued commitment to proclaiming the truth of God’s word. I cannot think of a ministry that has been more beneficial to me as a woman, wife, mother, daughter, friend, and counselor, than Ligonier.
Ligonier Ministries, Inc. has strengthened and expanded my personal relationship with God by enlightening me to the Reformed theology. Isn't that what a ministry is supposed to do--inform and grow a relationship with God? The dedication to learn Hebrew/Latin/Philosophy to fully understand the Word of God, the commitment to understand how the Reformed movement has evolved from the Word, and the passion to share the Word demonstrated by R.C. Sproul and Stephen Nichols, as well as all the other Ligonier "disciples" whom I've met over the years, are the principal reasons why I vehemently support Ligonier Ministries, Inc.
Ligonier Ministries brings the whole truth of God's Word to hungry ears, hearts, and souls. I grew up in the church but wasn't exposed to Reformed theology until I began listening to "Renewing Your Mind" on the radio in the 1990s. After hearing R.C. Sproul winsomely expound the Scriptures, with a focus on God's holiness and sovereignty, I became convinced that this was true, biblical teaching in all its fullness. It's my joy to encourage other truth-seekers to become familiar with Ligonier's many resources. You will blossom and grow, and you'll become a more effective tool in the service of Christ!
Over the past 22 years we have blessed immensely by this ministry. All of my children were raised listening to R.C. Sproul. In fact we used the video lectures to train our kids to set still through a church service. I have attended several National and Regional Conferences and have found all of the speakers outstanding and their messages challenging and solidly biblical. The last thing I hear every night is a message from R.C. on my Ligonier App. I can not think of a better way to end my day.

I became a Christian through reading the bible. Soon after, I began to have a lot of questions about doctrine and the meaning of various passages of scripture. I watched and listened to a lot of different teachers on the Christian stations. Many, of the programs that I watched seemed to be better suited to a self-help/feel good station(s) rather than something to be aired on a Christian station.
The Renewing Your Mind Broadcast, however; stood out as being different. I remember waking up before 5:00 just to watch this program and to visit the Ligonier website (which I still do). Sometimes the broadcast was difficult to watch i.e. it was not what I wanted to hear. However, when I would compare the message against what is written in the Bible, I would come to the conclusion that what I was listening to was a clear exposition of the word of God.
This ministry provides an abundant variety of resources to edify the Christian and I would very highly recommend it to any Christian who wants to grow in understanding the scripture. Also, the people that I have had contact with in this organization have been outstanding. I have become a supporting member of this ministry and will continue to do so.

Ligonier has been so good to my family for over 25 years. I started listening to Renewing your Mind on the radio and through tapes in the 1990s when I was a teenager. I was looking for a knowledge of who God is and found it with Ligonier Ministries. I have read RC's "The Holiness of God" and many other of his books in the last 25 years that have helped in my search. Since then, I have gone to several conferences in Orlando/Pennsylvania that have been absolutely wonderful for my soul. It is very much like going to a family reunion where you meet great people and teachers each time. I also love how Ligonier is on the cutting edge of technology, and I can use that technology to listen to Bilblical teaching wherever I go. (REFNET, Ligonier APP, Tabletalk magazine or online, podcasts, and many more opportunities.) I could keep going on about how Ligonier has touched our lives but will say that I whole heartedly recommended Ligonier Ministries.
Next to my home church, where Corporate Worship and Life-on-Life Discipleship are my highest priority, Ligonier Ministries tops the list!! We have been to nine conferences in the past eight years. The Reformation Study Bible anchors my reading. I use Ligonier's website (Ligonier.org) almost daily. Tabletalk Magazine along with countless books are all incredibly valuable and trustworthy resources. Ligonier truly does "bridge the gap between Sunday School and seminary!" Finally, the better I've gotten to know countless speakers and staff members. the more I appreciate their love for the Lord and desire to serve Him faithfully!
Words cannot express the gratitude I have toward Ligonier Ministries. God brought Ligonier Ministries, specifically Renewing Your Mind into my life over 20 years ago. The kindness and the charity of this ministry does not diminish its unwavering commitment to Reformed Theology and that all things be done to the glory of God. I have found their resources trustworthy and excellent. They truly do help to "bridge the gap between Sunday School and Seminary", the exact place where I find myself.
Marjy and I have followed Ligonier Ministries for thirty-five years. Tabletalk
magazine has supplied us with a consistent stream of gospel centered, sound Biblical teaching that has strengthened our devotional lives for these many years. In addition, we’ve attended multiple National Conferences in Orlando and Seattle and have always been impressed with the stellar lineup of speakers addressing interesting and timely topics. We’ve made many new friends and acquaintances at these venues. More recently, we’ve been very pleased with the growth and development of Reformation Bible College, since we seek to invest in the education of future generations of Christian leaders. We’ve also had the opportunity to travel with Ligonier to very exciting places and learn much about the history of the church and its prominent leaders, all the while having a lot of laughter and fun with our traveling companions. We could go on, but suffice it to say that these highlights underscore our hearty and enthusiastic recommendation of Ligonier ministries.

It was in the late nineties that I first heard R.C. Sproul in Philadelphia. I sat in my pew for a few minutes after the sermon scratching my head and wondering if he was right. He sure was! He preached in a way as to make me want to open the Bible and find out for myself what it said. I thought I had everything to do with my salvation, but this ‘new idea’, (which was always in the Word of God), about God Himself (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit), making a way and having a plan from before creation, carrying it out so His people would be brought to Him, awakened and made alive to the ways of God, and saved from their evil God-denying ways. It’s not about God being something I chose or not, but about God knowing me intimately and walking ahead of me all the way to Eternity.
Thanks Ligonier for teaching so many the ‘why’ of one’s faith, and the hugeness of God Almighty! He is a big God, full of love and grace and mercy!
I tried to write an accurate portrayal of this ministry, each time I was kicked out before finishing. Check our who their top employees are (nepotism) with very high salaries, the lawsuit they filed in the past and their financial situation as submitted by www.minisrywatch.com.
I find R. C. Sproul Sr. teachings very biblically related, his messages are enlightening and I have listened to him for some years. However, I have to question the above. Do the research for yourself, should any ministry file a lawsuit against a blogger, hire basically his son-in-law to run the ministry without the proper experience?
We have been blessed by Ligonier Ministries, Inc. for nearly twenty five years. We were drawn to the ministry when we read their charge: "teaching Christians why the believe what they believe."
It was from this beginning that we were drawn to Dr. R.C. Sproul's book The Holiness of God and then numerous other books written by Dr. Sproul covering Scripture that drew us closer to our Lord.
Over the years we have had the privilege of attending Conferences, which are a blessing in themselves, having the opportunity to hear and meet other great Reformed Theology ministers/educator/teachers.
The ministry's monthly publication, Tabletalk, is the most Bible
based devotional (and more!) we have ever encountered.
I have been receiving "Tabletalk" and Dr. Sproul's cd's for several years now. I have an extensive collection of his teaching materials which has been extremely helpful in my roles as a bible study leader and Sunday School teacher. In the current atmosphere of "whatever works" evangelicalism, Ligonier has been my go-to ministry for sound, responsible theology and doctrine.
I first heard a broadcast of Renewing Your Mind with Dr. sproul on the radio about ten years ago and I can still remember how the words were like a tuning fork to my ear. Since then I have listened to and read countless messages from Dr. Sproul and his associates utilizing the vast array of resources: books, tapes, DVDs, Tabletalk magazine, online materials, and conferences, all of which has served to tremendously increase my understanding of scripture, theology, and Christian living. I highly recommend Ligonier Ministries' extensive resources to anyone who desires to follow the apostle Paul's exhortation to renew your mind!

My wife & I first experienced Ligonier Ministries by serving as volunteer workers at the 2000 National Conference. We have been blessed, since that initial conference with volunteer duties ranging from stuffing envelopes to coordinating volunteers for the past 10+ years for the ministry. We have thoroughly enjoyed staff interactions through the years, which includes major conferences 3 and 4 times per year utilizing 50 to 150 volunteer workers per each 3 day event. It is a delight to work with an organization that prays for our Lord to guide the ministry and provides biblical devotions each Friday for personnel who love the Lord. We pray God will continue to bless this ministry until He comes again.
