CT’s Top Singapore Stories of 2023

On keeping Gen Z in church, letting go of self-optimization, and talking about mental health. Plus: Tell us what we missed.

In 2023, CT worked to publish more stories on Singapore and platform more Singaporean writers. Here are eight articles on topics ranging from generational divides within the church to Christian drug rehabs to a Christian response to Qi Gong.

In 2024, we want to do more: If you have suggestions for story ideas or new writers who should write for us, please fill out this form.
