What is Gospel Saturated?

Gospel Saturated began in 2018 as a personal passion project by Carrie Shaw. It explores biblical theology, Christian thought, ethics, interpretation, and questions of faith, church, culture, and everyday life.

The heart behind Gospel Saturated is to explore the gospel and the wider Christian faith with honesty, depth, and a strong grounding in Scripture.

Whether you have followed Jesus for years, are new to faith, or are still asking questions, you are welcome here.

The gospel – the good news of Jesus – is living water. When we drink deeply, our hearts are satisfied, our lives are renewed, and our everyday habits change. From the overflow, living water touches everything we think and speak, how we work and love.
