Sorted Magazine, the UK’s leading Christian lifestyle publication for men, is now fully digital – opening up greater access and global reach than ever before.

Packed with compelling content including celebrity interviews, entertainment, tech, music, film, grooming, fashion, football, and faith, Sorted continues to engage and inspire a new generation of readers online.

Since its launch in 2007, Sorted quickly rose to become one of the country’s fastest-growing men’s magazines. Over the years, it has featured global icons such as Bear Grylls, Will Smith, Sylvester Stallone, and Jeff Bridges – always with a fresh, faith-infused perspective.

Founded by the late Steve Legg, a tireless communicator of the Christian message who travelled over 1.5 million miles across the UK and 30 countries, Sorted remains rooted in his passion for reaching hearts through creativity, humour, and truth.

Now online 24/7, Sorted is perfectly positioned to connect with today’s digital generation – delivering accessible, relevant, and inspiring content anytime, anywhere.

SORTED MEN’S MAGAZINE GOES GLOBAL IN DIGITAL REVIVAL – 🙏

Since its transition to an online format, Sorted magazine has been quietly but steadily redefining the space for men’s Christian media. What began as a print publication known for its wholesome lifestyle features, high-profile interviews, and faith-rooted content has now become a growing digital force, reaching new audiences and supporting what many describe as a “quiet revival” – an emerging reawakening of Christian interest, particularly among Gen Z males.

This younger demographic, often seen as hard to engage within traditional church structures, is increasingly turning to digital platforms for community, inspiration, and accessible content rooted in values and purpose. In this context, Sorted is finding renewed relevance. Its ability to speak directly into the lives of men navigating complex social and spiritual landscapes has allowed it to grow where many other publications have struggled.

Pastor Duncan Williams, originally a director and shareholder in Sorted, sees the magazine’s online move not as a retreat, but as a necessary and exciting step forward. “The shift from quarterly print to an always-available online platform opens up an entirely new way to connect with our readers,” he said. “We’re no longer constrained by deadlines or postal routes –  we can respond to the real-time needs and questions of a global audience hungry for Christian perspective.”

Williams is clear that Sorted’s mission hasn’t changed, but its delivery has evolved. “What we’re seeing now is a surge of engagement from young men who are searching – for purpose, for faith, for something grounded. I believe Sorted has a role to play in meeting that need, and we’re only just beginning to see what’s possible.”

The magazine’s expanding global footprint is already reflecting that potential. Enthusiastic website editor Val Fraser recently confirmed that Sorted is now being read in 24 countries and 14 U.S. states. “It’s still early days,” she wrote to readers, “but it’s been so encouraging to monitor the steady growth.”

She acknowledged some initial uncertainty about whether readers would adapt to the new format. “I confess to being apprehensive about whether it would take off,” Fraser admitted. “I needn’t have worried at all – turns out you lot are far more tech-savvy than I’d imagined! So many of you have come over to Substack and seem perfectly happy to read the magazine on your digital device.”

The analytics suggest the majority of readers are engaging directly via web browsers, with just two percent using the Substack app – a detail Fraser says highlights the strength of organic and community-driven interest. “I’ve been astonished and encouraged by the many wonderful comments from friends of Sorted,” she added. “That support means everything as we shape what the next season of Sorted will look like.”

Williams, who has contributed to leading platforms like ChristianToday.com, believes user experience is key. “I’ve always appreciated how accessible and well-structured ChristianToday is,” he said. “That inspired us to take a similar approach with Sorted online. We’ve made the platform easy to navigate and rich in content because we know today’s readers want clarity and depth without the clutter. The response so far has been incredibly encouraging.”

He also emphasised how crucial Sorted’s mission is in today’s cultural landscape. “It’s more vital now than it ever was during our print incarnation to have a publication that highlights positive role models,” Williams said. “Young men today are exposed to damaging figures and narratives – whether that’s through personalities like Andrew Tate, the incel subculture, or political figures who glorify aggression and division. Sorted exists to offer something radically different. We aim to build men up – not tear them down – by promoting integrity, mental wellness, and healthy relationships with self, God, and others.”

Williams added that the magazine continues to serve as a supportive space for men dealing with real-life issues. “Sorted has always spoken to men who struggle with mental health, self-worth, or addiction. These are deep challenges, and our goal is to walk alongside our readers with hope, honesty and encouragement. We’re here to promote character, not celebrity – and to remind men that they were made for more than the world often tells them.”

Looking to the future, Williams is also calling for deeper collaboration within Christian media. He has recently reached out to Premier Christian Media, publisher of Woman Alive!, one of the UK’s leading Christian magazines for women. “I’ve approached Premier with the hope of building a publishing partnership between Sorted and Woman Alive!,” he shared. “Bringing these voices together would create a uniquely powerful Christian media hub here in the UK. It’s something I would dearly love to see happen – and I’m prayerful it might form part of Sorted’s faith-led evolution into this new generation.”

This season of transformation for Sorted has also been marked by personal loss. Founder Steve Legg, who built the magazine from its inception in 2007, passed away in 2024, and followed the death of Christian sports journalist and fellow director Hugh Southon. Both men shaped the heart and vision of Sorted, and their influence continues to be felt throughout the publication.

Reflecting on that journey, Williams remains both sober and hopeful. “It’s been a time of deep reflection and resilience, but also one of vision. The online space gives us tools and reach we simply didn’t have before. With faith and perseverance, we’ll keep building – not just a magazine, but a ministry that speaks to where people are right now.”
