A Changing Culture Needs Equipped Believers. Equipped Believers Need You.
The world is constantly changing, but God's truth never does. Every day, I have the privilege of talking with people who are searching for biblical answers, carrying heavy burdens, or simply trying to follow Christ faithfully in a culture that often pulls them in the opposite direction. And over the years, I've watched God do something remarkable. Through His Word, He strengthens weary hearts, deepens faith, and equips His people to live with courage, wisdom, and compassion.
When you become a monthly Equipper, you're helping make those life-changing conversations possible for more people. Together, we're encouraging believers to stand firm in their faith, engage the world with biblical truth, and live out the hope of the gospel.
As a monthly Back Fence Partner, you can help make those conversations possible for listeners who need hope, encouragement, and a reminder that God is with them.
I'd love for you to join us.— Chris Brooks
Why You Are Important
Right now, someone is asking hard questions about the Christian faith and wondering whether it can hold up under pressure. Equipped exists for that moment. You are the reason this program is on the air—not the network, not the station, but listeners who believe conviction and compassion belong together. As an Equipper, your monthly gift equips men and women to live out the gospel right where they live, work, and serve.
Equippers believe our rapidly changing culture needs the unchanging truth of God's Word. Together, they help Equipped with Chris Brooks encourage believers to grow spiritually, think biblically, and live out the gospel with compassion.

Real Stories. Real Impact.
Every day, God uses Equipped with Chris Brooks to help listeners grow spiritually, think biblically, and live compassionately. Here are just a few stories of how this ministry is making a difference.
“More Than Giving—It’s Participation”
“When I became a partner, it changed how I saw my role. I’m not just writing a check—I’m actively participating in reaching people I’ll never meet with the gospel that changed my life. That’s powerful.”
- Jennifer M.
“My $30 Matters”
“I was hesitant at first. What difference could $30 a month really make? But when I saw the annual report showing thousands of people reached through our collective giving, I realized—together, we’re doing something I could never do alone.”
- Marcus T.
“The Best Investment I Make”
“I support several ministries, but my monthly partner commitment to Moody Radio might be the best investment I make every month. I hear the fruit constantly—testimonies, lives changed, people coming to Christ. It’s kingdom work that lasts.”
- Patricia R.
Why Monthly Partnership Matters
Most people find Moody Radio during an ordinary moment—a morning commute, a restless night, a season of doubt. They tune in and find exactly what they needed: biblical truth, spoken clearly, right when it mattered.
That moment happens because someone gave—not just once, but faithfully, month after month.
Monthly partnership is different from a one-time gift. It’s not just more convenient. It's more powerful.
When you give monthly, you give this ministry something rare: the ability to plan. To say yes to a new episode or resource. To reach a new city. To be there, without interruption, for the listener who needs truth on an ordinary day of the week.
Your gift this month funds this month’s broadcasts. Your gift next month does the same. That consistency compounds. It becomes dependable ministry momentum—the kind that sustains a voice for the gospel across years, not just moments.
Equipped is free to every listener who finds it. No subscription. No barrier between a weary heart and a conversation grounded in the Word of God.
That’s only possible because Equippers make it so.
When you join as an Equipper, you don’t just support a radio program. You become part of the reason someone, somewhere, finds what they were looking for.
You Might Be Wondering...
“Can I really make a difference with a small monthly amount?”
Absolutely. Impact isn’t about the size of individual gifts—it’s about collective consistency. When hundreds of partners give faithfully at every level, it creates something powerful. Your $10 or $30 matters more than you think, especially when multiplied by community.
“What if my financial situation changes?”
Life happens, and we completely understand. You can adjust or pause your partnership anytime—no awkward phone calls, no guilt, no complicated process. Just contact us. We want this to be a joyful partnership, not a burden.
“How do I know my money is being used well?”
Great question! Moody Radio has maintained financial integrity for 100 years. We’re committed to transparency, keeping overhead low, and maximizing every dollar for ministry impact. Audited financial statements are available upon request, and you’ll receive quarterly reports showing what your partnership accomplishes.
“Why monthly instead of one-time gifts?”
Both matter! But monthly Impact Partners create the stable foundation that allows us to plan strategically, invest in growth, and maximize kingdom impact. Consistent support means we can say “yes” to opportunities and reach further than sporadic giving allows.
“Can I give more than the suggested amounts?”
Absolutely! The suggested levels are simply starting points. Give whatever amount God lays on your heart. Every dollar goes toward advancing the gospel through Moody Radio’s ministry.
“Can I change my monthly amount later?”
Yes, anytime. Your partnership should reflect your current capacity. If you need to increase, decrease, or adjust your giving, simply contact our team.
