The Living Times is an independent faith-based publication that has been in continuous publication since 1992. Today it is owned and operated by James and Kara Hatcher, the fourth stewards of this long-standing ministry.

At its core, The Living Times exists to share the hope of Christ through the written word.

Each addition centers on one purpose:

• Introducing readers to who Christ is
• Helping readers begin a relationship with Christ
• Encouraging readers to deepen their relationship with Christ

We recognize the power of words. And, words rooted in truth have the power to change lives.

How We’re Funded

The Living Times is a reader-supported ministry. Our print newspapers are distributed free of charge–made possible through subscriptions, donations, and advertising partners who believe in this mission and ministry.

Your generous support allows us to place print newspapers directly in communities free of charge to be read, shared, and passed along
