A year ago we felt like we were pretty busy here at Focus Press – and we were. But that paled in comparison to what we’ve been blessed to be able to do this year.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
In a world going crazy, where the truth of God’s Word is needed as much as ever, now more than ever the work at Focus Press is firing on all cylinders:<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n– Starting in January we re-launched the Think Deeper Podcast featuring Jack Wilkie, Joe Wilkie, and Will Harrub. With over 50,000 plays, the show has touched on a wide variety of pivotal topics facing Christians today, such as gender roles and LGBT confusion, tech addiction, consumer Christianity, and more.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
– This fall we’ve added Who Let the Dogma Out?, a podcast with Jack, Daniel Mayfield, and Jacob Rutledge dedicated to explaining and defending our theological foundations along with Get Out of Porn, a weekly how-to guide by Joe Wilkie.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
– We published Will Harrub’s Family Worship Guide, Vol. 1. This practical devotional has helped countless families in the practice of household Bible and prayer time.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
– Joe’s new Focus On the Word series on YouTube each week is helping Christians learn to study exegetically.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
– All of this is in addition to the continued monthly issues of Think Magazine, our weekly articles at focuspress.org<\/a>, and our growing stable of weekend seminars.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
And we’re just getting started.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
Lord willing, in 2023 we’re looking to unveil a full-fledged adult Bible class curriculum, launch two more podcasts, publish at least 6 more books, and more.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
We’re also exploring a “subscriber exclusive” option which will offer even more content.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
In order to do this, though, we’re going to need your help.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
It’s no secret that the cost of literally everything has gone up in the last two years. Publishing materials like ink and paper are no exception.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
Additionally, all of this work would not have been possible without the part-time additions of Joe and Will. There’s no getting around it – to produce more content requires more man power, and more man power requires more funding.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
Will you help us continue to grow our work and serve the church?<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
As a 501(c)(3) organization, all donations are tax-deductible.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
And, through the end of the year we will send a copy of the Family Worship Guide as a thank you for all donations over $100.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
But there’s one more thing…<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
A generous supporter has offered to match all donations up to $50,000. Every $1 you donate will actually be worth $2!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Please prayerfully consider helping us reach others with the Gospel and strengthen the church through sound teaching.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
God bless,<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Brad Harrub, Ph.D.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
