Kurt Mahlburg

Kurt Mahlburg is a husband to Angie, a father, a writer, and a familiar Australian voice on culture and the Christian faith. He is the Senior Editor and a regular columnist at The Daily Declaration, and Programs Director of the Canberra Declaration. He also writes for Flipped Media and for Our Civilisational Moment, the Substack of former Deputy Prime Minister John Anderson.

A published author, Kurt’s breakout title Cross and Culture: Can Jesus Save the West? explores the social and spiritual challenges facing Western nations and the hope Jesus offers in our crisis.

Kurt was also the lead author of the Australian Christian Freedom Index.

Kurt is passionate about speaking the truths of Jesus into the public square in a way that makes sense to a secular culture and that gives Christians courage to do the same.

Kurt has worked as a primary school teacher, served as a missionary and a young adults pastor, and speaks several South-East Asian languages.
