Tim Challies

In 2003, Challies started a blog on theology, book reviews, and social commentary. He has published books on theology, among other topics, such as how Christians should approach common issues like technology and pornography.

He co-founded the publishing house Cruciform Press with Kevin Meath in 2010.

In 2013, he became pastor at Grace Fellowship Church of Toronto, a Reformed Baptist church.

In 2017, Challies gained media attention after stating that he does not let his children have sleep-overs besides close relatives. Challies explained that he places this precaution on his evaluated risk of how children can encounter "pornography, sexuality and drinking while at friends' homes."

R. Albert Mohler, Jr. has mentioned Challies as "one of the finest young evangelical thinkers of our day."

Challies is married with three children. His son, Nicholas Paul Challies (Nick), died suddenly on November 3, 2020.
