A Voluntary Subscription Invitation for 2026
Every morning for nearly 27 years, before most people turn on a light or pour a cup of cocoa, Meridian has quietly appeared in inboxes around the world.
With stories that steady.
Thoughts that lift.
Perspectives that clarify.
And daily reminders that God is in His heaven and all is not lost.
And then—as if by a small miracle—it happens again the next day.
We cannot tell you what it means to us that you keep opening those emails. In a world that shouts, scrolls, distracts, divides, and exhausts, you choose to make space for something different—something faithful, hopeful, and rooted in the Restoration.
You let Meridian into your life.
And we never take that for granted.
And we need your help again to keep us going for another year—your voluntary subscriptions make all the difference.

A Miracle That Outgrew Its Beginnings
When Meridian began in early 1999, we imagined a modest Latter-day Saint magazine that might publish six times a year. We could never have pictured this:
- Nearly 27 years online
- Almost 7,000 weekday editions
- More than 1,400 writers and contributors
- Tens of thousands of devoted daily readers
- Millions reached each year through articles, photography, and our weekly Come, Follow Me podcast
- Tours, firesides, books, and a global community we absolutely cherish
We still shake our heads sometimes. Meridian shouldn’t exist—not by the logic of the world.
As some of you many remember: Years ago, we traveled to New York City to meet with major Madison Avenue advertisers—people who bought ad space for Cheerios, Jell-O, Pampers, Suburbans, and every product our readers actually use. We thought, naïvely, “If they see our demographic, surely they’ll want to advertise.”
We watched the focus group from behind a two-way mirror.
It took only minutes to understand: they had no interest in supporting a Latter-day Saint publication—none.
Their misconceptions about our faith were painful. Their dismissiveness was clear.
And decades later, that attitude hasn’t changed.
If anything, support for religious media has shrunk even more.
Which means something else is miraculously true:
Meridian exists only because of you.
Your generosity.
Your prayers.
Your notes of encouragement.
Your determination to support a faithful daily voice in the world.

Meridian Is More Than an Email
We hear this every time we travel:
“Meridian gives me my morning lift.”
“You say what I’m already feeling but haven’t put into words.”
“I listen to your podcast on my walk every week—it’s part of my spiritual rhythm.”
“Your articles help me teach my children, my seminary class, my Relief Society sisters.”
“When the world feels upside-down, Meridian helps me breathe again.”
You may not think of Meridian every day, but Meridian is there—
steady, consistent, early, and faithful.
Like a ministering brother who actually shows up at your door.
Like a friend who knows how to lift without lecturing.
Like a quiet lantern on a shelf, always lit.

Why a Voluntary Subscription Campaign?
Every year, we invite our readers to help keep Meridian going. And every year, less than 1% respond.
Just imagine—99 readers enjoy Meridian for every 1 who helps sustain it.
We don’t resent that.
We understand it.
Life is busy. Budgets are tight. Some simply can’t give.
But if you can—even a little—we are asking with full, grateful hearts:
Will you be one of the ones who keeps Meridian publishing this year?
A voluntary subscription of $40 for the entire year—
about 11 cents a day—
makes a real difference.
And many of you subscribe at a much higher amount, just because you are generous, you have the means, you believe in the mission of Meridian and you want to see it all keep going.
Your generous subscription does a great deal:
It keeps the servers running in Michigan, Amsterdam, and Singapore.
It keeps our world-class email systems functioning so your summary arrives every morning.
It pays a small staff who do the work of a newsroom ten times their size.
It supports our weekly podcast, which has now reached millions.
It makes possible the photography, editing, hosting, writing, news curation, and spiritual steadiness you enjoy every single day.
You are not “buying content.”
You are building a place—
a gathering place for covenant keepers in a noisy world.

A World Turned Upside Down Still Needs a Clarion Voice
Twenty-seven years ago, we wrote Meridian’s publishing standards, and we have never deviated from them. Not once.
We promised ourselves—and the Lord—that Meridian would always:
- Affirm that Jesus is the Christ
- Proclaim that His Church has been restored
- Strengthen testimonies
- Defend the family
- Teach truth with clarity and joy
- Push back gently but firmly against the philosophies of the world
- Help the Saints articulate their faith with confidence
In 2026, this mission matters more than ever.
The world is loud.
Confusion spreads fast.
Truth is contested.
Faith is mocked.
Young people are hungry for spiritual clarity.
Adults are weary from cultural crosswinds.
Light has never been more needed—
and never been more attacked.
Could there be a more important time to send into your inbox, every morning, words that steady your heart and strengthen your discipleship?

What Your $40 Actually Means
We often ask ourselves:
What would be lost if Meridian disappeared?
Who would lose their daily lift?
What spiritual nourishment would go missing in homes around the world?
Then we ask a more important question:
What would be gained—by you, by others, by the Lord’s work—if you became part of the circle that keeps Meridian alive?
Your $40 (or much more if you can):
- Sustains a daily light for hundreds of thousands
- Strengthens faith in ways you may never see
- Helps Meridian remain freely available to everyone, everywhere
- Supports a small, dedicated team doing the work of many
- Builds a refuge of truth in a cultural storm
- Makes you a partner in something bigger than any one of us
Your voluntary subscription is not a transaction.
It is participation—in a mission, a ministry, and a miracle.
