1517
1517 declares and defends the Good News that we are forgiven and free on account of Christ alone.
1517 is rooted in the legacy of Martin Luther and the first evangelicals of the Reformation. We create and distribute theological and apologetic resources anchored in the central message of the Bible: that Christ died for sinners and rose for their justification. Through the proclamation of the Gospel, we aim to give assurance and consolation to Christians, enable individuals to serve their neighbors in freedom, and strengthen the church. Our resources include a podcast network, daily articles, speakers, a publishing house, annual conferences, and an online academy.

Have you heard this paradox? “We want to be known but we are terrified of being seen.”
In Jesus, there is a full release from this fear. Why? There is no secret about you that can surprise Him, and no shame powerful enough to separate you from His love. “O Lord, you have searched me and known me,” Psalm 139:1.

"Even at its best, every form of human love we experience this side of Heaven is shot through with inconsistency and weakness. Since creatures have limits, our love is conditional. God’s love for us in Jesus Christ, however, is categorically different. It is unconditional, untethered from any performance of our own and independent of human effort."-Luke Kjolhaug
The Fear of Being Known This is an excerpt from the sixth chapter of Fear Not: How the Gospel Disrupts Our Deepest Anxieties by Luke Kjolhaug (1517 Publishing, 2026).
You are not what you accomplish. And you are not your failures.
Fear Not reminds us that our identity is not built on what we do, but on what Christ has done for us.
Fear Not is available now from 1517 Publishing.

"Through the water of your baptism and the power of God’s Word, He changed your route. The highway no longer takes you to the hell you deserve. And in this life you no longer wind your way through the self-serving twists and turns. The map doesn’t point to you. Thank the Lord for that! It points to him. He remains your true north now and always." -Steve Kruschel

A restless heart is nothing new.
Long before us, Augustine knew what it was to search, struggle, lose his way, and be found again by grace.
A Year of Confession with Augustine brings his story into daily life through 365 devotions pairing Scripture, selections from Confessions, and reflections from Steve Kruschel.
For anyone longing for more than quick inspiration, but rather honesty, depth, repentance, and rest, this book points again and again to the God who meets restless hearts with mercy.
