Magnify

Magnify exists to change the narrative of the Christian faith through media.

  • Magnify is a platform and global community focused on equipping ambitious women of faith to thrive in their various spheres of influence. Through media and creativity, we are leveraging the power of testimonies to reach an audience of women outside the 4 walls and open up conversations and change perceptions.

  • Media presents a huge opportunity to engage, shape mindsets and refocus priorities. This is often used for nefarious purposes by many mainstream (particularly female) platforms. We want to leverage the scalability of media to change narratives to share the Christian faith.

  • Our (current) core offering is multi-platform digital content focused on storytelling and conversations through the lens of faith

  • "We are reaching an underserved demographic of women by the Church. We believe that every woman - no matter her earthly status needs and deserves to have the Gospel shared with her

    We want to see the tools of media and technology redeemed.
