Help Us Fund Our Podcast Network!

No matter which of our podcasts you listen to, you will hear the confident promise that you are forgiven and free on account of Christ.

Right now, we’re working to raise $200,000 to keep producing high quality podcasts and move even more of our content to video—so we can meet people where they are and introduce even more to the comfort of Christ centered Lutheran theology.

The good news? Generous donors have already given $100,000 toward that goal. Now we’re asking listeners like you to help match that generosity.

If this network has brought you clarity, peace, or just a reminder that Christ is for you, consider joining us. Your gift helps make sure others hear that same promise.

Help Us Fund The Podcast Network

The Reach:

The 1517 Podcast Network reaches tens of thousands of individuals every week. Episodes of 1517's podcasts were downloaded over 6.6million times in 2024 and with your help we can reach new audiences in 2025.


The Opportunity:

We’ve captured and distributed thousands of podcast episodes and now is the perfect time to expand our format. Video production has become a key part of how podcasts reach new listeners and expand their content offerings.

  • Video capture & Post-Production – Shooting raw footage and forming it into informative and easily watched formats.
  • Episode development & Scripting - Ensuring the message is clear and addressing theological topics and needs.
  • Marketing & Distribution – Getting our podcasts and video in front of as many people as possible.

Where we are Growing:

1517's YouTube channels continue to grow every month, and with your help and support, we can continue to reach a new audience. 


Our Goal: $200,000

These funds are essential to our ability to reliably film, edit, and publish videos multiple times every week. Several generous donors have already given $100,000 toward that goal. Now we’re asking listeners like you to help match that generosity.
