WEBSITE, PODCAST & ONLINE COMMUNICATIONS IN 2021, BIOLOGOS FURTHER CEMENTED ITSELF AS A LEADING RESOURCE AT THE INTERSECTION OF FAITH AND SCIENCE, REACHING 2.5 MILLION READERS ON OUR WEBSITE WITH TOPICS RANGING FROM CLIMATE CHANGE TO ORIGINS, WHILE CONTINUING TO EDUCATE THE PUBLIC ON THE PANDEMIC.

OUR PODCAST, LANGUAGE OF GOD, PUT OUT 34 NEW EPISODES DURING 2021 AND RECEIVED MORE THAN 400 THOUSAND DOWNLOADS.
CONFERENCE & EVENTS IN 2021, WE HELD OUR CREATION CARE SUMMIT, A FULL-DAY CONFERENCE BRINGING TOGETHER 9 LOCAL AND NATIONAL SPEAKERS TO EXPLORE CHRISTIAN RESPONSES TO ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES. SPEAKERS INCLUDED SCIENTISTS, DEVELOPMENT WORKERS, THEOLOGIANS, AND MORE. WITH AN ONLINE AUDIENCE GIVEN THE LINGERING PANDEMIC, WE WERE PLEASED TO WELCOME OVER 500 PARTICIPANTS.
