In 2003, Challies started a blog on theology, book reviews, and social commentary. [1] He has published books on theology, among other topics, such as how Christians should approach common issues like technology and pornography.

He co-founded the publishing house Cruciform Press with Kevin Meath in 2010. [2]

In 2013, he became pastor at Grace Fellowship Church of Toronto, a Reformed Baptist church. [3]

In 2017, Challies gained media attention after stating that he does not let his children have sleep-overs besides close relatives.

R. Albert Mohler, Jr. has mentioned Challies as "one of the finest young evangelical thinkers of our day." [6]
