The Living Times carries God’s hope, truth, and grace into places of everyday life, reaching the lost, ministering to the believer, and equipping them for outreach in their community.
Planting seeds in print to take root in hearts everywhere, raising up a people who carry Christ’s teaching, grace, and truth wherever they go.
Reader-Supported
The mission runs on its readers. Subscriber support does more than print an issue; each month, it sends free copies into the places where hope, encouragement, and truth are needed most.
Reader-Equipped
Each month, a second copy of The Living Times is sent to each subscriber. That extra copy makes you an Outreach Partner: yours to pass on, equipped to be a missionary right in your community.
History
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 edition 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

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