OUR PURPOSE

Faith should make us more alive to the world.

We believe faith is not a retreat from the world. It is a way of meeting the world—with courage, humility, and attention. We publish testimonies, essays, reporting, reviews, and theological reflection for readers who want to think deeply and live generously.

We make room for honest questions and vivid stories. We want to celebrate work that is beautiful, examine what is difficult, and keep learning how to love our neighbors well. The Lion Heart is independent, reader-minded, and rooted in hope.

Tell the truth

People are more than a point to prove. We write with care, curiosity, and respect for complexity.

Make room

Thoughtful disagreement and honest questions belong in a living faith.

Look for beauty

Art and culture deserve close attention. We meet them with discernment and delight.

Have a story to tell?

We welcome thoughtful pitches, personal essays, and review ideas.
