Copyright + Permissions
Thank you for your interest in sharing our resources. With the exception of “guest posts” written by others (see below: “2. Resources and content by authors other than NRJohnson (Nathan Johnson)”), Deeper Christian owns the content on this website and is copyrighted by Deeper Christian. Our heart, desire, and mission is to freely share as much of our content as possible, but also want to steward these assets well and respect the rights of those whose content we share. This website is your best resource for accessing our content and sharing it with others, and we encourage you to point people here. If you want to download copies for yourself or share copies with others, we have three main categories of content, with varying permissions for each category, to consider.
Thanks in advance for your cooperation.
1. General Permissions
You may freely use, share, and reproduce any content from NRJohnson (Nathan Johnson), excluding guest posts, for personal or noncommercial (not sell or monetize) uses provided that when publishing textual content online or in hard copy, only quotes and excerpts may be used, not the entire work [for more, see section “Reposting Content Online” below]. For audio and video content online, you may embed the entire unaltered original content from this website in another webpage but not reproduce, redistribute, or re-upload by other methods without prior written permission.
2. Resources and content by authors other than NRJohnson (Nathan Johnson)
Guest contributors retain the copyright to the posts they write. The above permission guidelines do not apply to their work. If you are interested in re-posting or publishing their content, you must contact them directly. Any posts by “Christian heroes of old” that are used on deeperChristian.com are in the public domain unless otherwise specified.
3. NRJohnson Articles
If you are printing off an article for personal or group use, you are permitted and encouraged to reproduce and distribute this material in its entirety or in unaltered excerpts, as long as you do not charge a fee and include the following statement on any distributed copy:
- Written by NRJohnson. © deeperChristian.com. Used by permission.
Reposting content online
Please use only unaltered excerpts (and not the content in its entirety*) and provide a hyperlink to the specific page on this website.
* Deeper Christian does not permit the re-posting of articles/content on the internet in their entirety. This is because Google penalizes websites for publishing duplicate content. Google often can’t tell which site hosts the original, so both websites are often penalized. So if you choose to post something from this site, please only include an excerpt (with a link back to the original article) and please do not post the article in its entirety.
Translation Requests
Translations of content for personal or small group or church use is permitted, so long as the material is in its entirety or in unaltered excerpts, and as long as it is for personal or noncommercial use (not for sell or to monetize). However, translation for any commercial use (for sell/monetization), must receive prior written permission.
Exceptions
Any exceptions to the above must be approved by deeperChristian. Contact us here.

Affiliate Links and Amazon.com Disclosure
Disclosure of Material Connection: the Deeper Christian website often contains “affiliate links” to books, products, apps, and services. This means if you click on the link and purchase the item, Deeper Christian will receive an affiliate commission (with no additional cost to you). It is a great way to support the work and ministry of Deeper Christian. Regardless, we only recommend products or services we use personally and believe will add value to our readers.

Deeper Christian is also a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com.
