Earlier this year Shattered Magazine came to my attention. It’s a high quality Christian periodical that features real-life stories that inspire, encourage, and instruct.
From the layout to the design to the stories, the magazine is “top shelf.”
And subscription is inexpensive.
Rachael Jackson, the creator and editor, is a West Point graduate. Through experiencing and overcoming the challenges in her life and witnessing hardships in the lives of people she loves, a strong desire grew in her heart to reach out to those who struggle in life and connect them with an all-powerful and loving God who cares enough to walk us through our valleys and rejoice with us on our mountaintops.
She created the publication to cut through the noise of the rest of the world and help point people towards a truly satisfying and rewarding life (now and in eternity) – regardless of temporary afflictions or momentary struggles.
Most of the readers of the magazine are Christian women ages 25 – 60. However, men and children benefit from the magazine as well.
Shattered is different from other Christian magazines because it focus solely on real stories full of real purpose and real hope. The stories aren’t from Christian celebrities, but from ordinary people, living out their stories in light of God’s extraordinary story.
Jackson’s purpose in the magazine is to “equip our readers with real hope as they navigate through the challenges of life’s journey. We embolden them to discover their real purpose so they can serve others together and share their stories with the world. We believe that there is no way to prove that God exists to an unbeliever, it isn’t easy to tell someone that God is good if all they’ve known is pain, and that there are hard questions about God that just can’t be answered in the realm of the black and white. But what those who have experienced Christ have is their story. It is in our shattered moments that we realize our need for a Savior, where we come to know Him personally, and where He frees us – shattering our chains so that we may live with hope. And when we share our stories for God’s glory, they have the power to help plant the seeds for the Gospel to take root.”
