Top 10 Blog Posts from 2024

Marriage, contentment, and … unicorn whales? Those were the top blog topics of 2024. I’ll explain!

As many of you know, each year we unveil our annual roundup of the top 10 blog posts from the previous year. (If you’re already frustrated at not being able to keep your New Year’s resolution, read #5. I think you’ll be encouraged.) Think of this top 10 list as your cheat sheet of lessons from 2024—a collection of the topics and stories that resonated most with our readers.

Personally, I was glad to see gratitude (#3), curiosity (#6), and forgiveness (#7)—topics that formed our “Simple Superpower Series”—show up on the list. This series, which we ran last January, identifies simple research-based actions that help our lives and relationships thrive. The whole series is worth a read. (That’s where you’ll see unicorn whales make an appearance.)

Also making last year’s list were two blogs on contentment. I really like that. Maybe in a year of contentious politics, what we really yearned for was contented hearts.

Finally, don’t miss #9. Research shows that more than half of pastors have considered leaving pastoral ministry (not just changing jobs but leaving ministry) since 2020. The demands on them are extraordinarily high. I encourage you to read this blog to be reminded of specific ways we can better support them.
