Denison Forum Mid-Year Update

2023 has been a year of impact at Denison Forum. Our generous and abundant donors are making the vision to ignite the next Great Awakening in our nation an increasing reality.

The flagship resource of Denison Forum is The Daily Article. Email opens are the strongest indicator of engagement with our biblical content. So far in 2023 we have recorded a monthly average open rate of 1,773,413 Daily Article emails. That’s a total of 10,640,480 through June 2023! Through these daily, biblical, and insightful essays, believers are learning to think, pray and respond to the events of our times in holy ways.

We also measure our influence by web traffic to denisonforum.org. We count those who “click through” to content so they can read or listen. We added an audio option to all of our website articles earlier this year. Through June 2023 our website had 2,604,288 total pageviews beyond the homepage.This number also reveals that we had 732,931 users to our site through June 2023.

We are excited about the impact of our podcasts. The Daily Article was downloaded as a podcast 1,515,768 in the previous six months (January - June 2023).
