My podcast recently was a lively discussion with Jennifer LeClaire who has done a great job of growing our website traffic to more than 5 million different people a month! Her daily podcast, “Walking in the Spirit,” gets the most downloads of any podcast. Now she’s serving as senior editor of Charisma magazine.
I asked Jennifer why her podcasts have been so popular. You’ll want to hear what she said about some of the topics she’s covered such as “the spirit of Jezebel,” spiritual warfare and prayer. She and I also talked about upcoming issues of Charisma including articles on Sean Feucht and his amazing prayer ministry, the comeback of Jim Bakker and a story at Christmas that will grab your heart. You can listen to this podcast here.
When the first issue of Charisma came off the press 41 years ago this week, we never dreamed of the internet and how it would open doors to reach so many more so quickly. In one day, we post more articles than an entire issue of Charisma and, over time, millions have come to look to us as the trusted source of news and inspiration from a Christian point of view.
Our websites are supported (as are almost all media) by advertising, but it’s now possible to subscribe to an ad-free version. As soon as Charisma: Ad-Free came online, I signed up and I hope you will, too, at this registration page, for a small annual fee that offsets the lost ad revenue.
Once on that page, you need to simply provide an e-mail address, a password and a credit card to get started with a free 14-day trial. We are currently running a “Charter Member” promotion for people who sign up before Labor Day (September 5, 2016). The promotion gives readers their first year for $7.95 instead of the normal price of $9.95. Following the first year’s special price, it will auto-renew at the normal $9.95 per year rate.
- Charisma: Ad-Free provides a premium experience to the websites for Charisma Magazine, Charisma News and Ministry Today.
- Readers will not be billed anything when they sign up for their trial.
- Trial members can cancel at any time during the 14-day trial if they do not wish to continue using Charisma: Ad-Free and will not be billed.
- Once subscribed to Charisma: Ad-Free, subscriptions auto-renew when they finish a year later. Users may cancel their subscription at any time. If a user cancels their subscription, their membership will continue until their subscriptions’ end date and then they will be returned to the normal websites.
Does this sound interesting? Sign up and see our exciting new website. We will announce soon where you can get the convenient new app.
Help us get the word out on our new site because our vision, in addition to keeping you informed, is to create a growing community of believers. {eoa}
