We are thrilled to announce the *beta launch of our new website at beta.desiringgod.org. A lot of hard work went into creating this site, and we are by no means finished, but we want to share at least some of the new features with you today:

1) Personalization – Create a more personalized DesiringGod.org experience by setting up your own account at beta.desiringgod.org/network. Sign into the Desiring God site with your Facebook username / password or create an account on the new Desiring God Network. Your profile will be available at beta.desiringgod.org/yourname.

Add links to your blog, add your Twitter stream as profile updates, and connect with others by making your profile viewable on a Google map. (Don’t worry—if you don't want to be public, there are options to keep a profile private as well.)

2) Favorite Resources – Really love a particular article or video? Want to share it easily with your friends? Save it to your personal profile so you can quickly access it in the future. The new Favorites tab in your profile makes it simple to share your favorite resources with others via the Desiring God Network and Facebook integration.

3) Mobilize – With 30 years worth of content in our Resource Library, it’s relatively easy to fill your mind with oodles of great information. We love this gift, and that’s not going to change. What’s not always easy to do on our site is to find ways to put that great theology into practice.

In the coming months, we plan on building dozens of groups and projects into the DG Network to help you get involved, locally and globally, with what God is doing around the world—to put into practice the God-centered theology you find throughout our site.

Here's a short video showcasing some of the new features:

Expect many more updates to the Desiring God website to come in the weeks ahead; but if you’re intrigued by this, please join us today by creating an account at beta.desiringgod.org/network.

Over time, we hope our site serves as a connecting point for individuals, groups, and churches who want to network with one another and become radical, missional forces for good in their contexts.

And just a heads up, you will probably find some bugs or glitches that we haven’t been able to fix. If you see anything that we can improve, please send us a note at feedback@desiringgod.org.

*Beta is a nerdy tech term that means the site is ready for users to test and use, but it’s not yet fully baked.
