LISTEN: Our friends at e2 elders recently shared a thought-provoking conversation with Marc Estes, author of The Road We Must Travel Again and founder of VisitorReach.

The discussion explores what it truly means to love our neighbors, challenges us to rethink who our neighbors are in today’s culture, and highlights an important distinction between growing a church and cultivating a healthy church.

They also dive into how technology is changing the way people discover and connect with churches, offering practical insights for church leaders who want to reach people more effectively while staying focused on their mission.

If you’re a pastor, elder, ministry leader, or simply passionate about helping people connect with Jesus, this conversation is worth your time. Give it a listen and be encouraged as you continue leading, serving, and loving your community well.

🎙️ We’re excited to share a powerful conversation between Gary Johnson, Executive Director of e2: effective elders, and Marc Estes, President/CEO/Founder of...

CHURCH PLANTING CHANGE COMMUNITIES
In a world increasingly shaped by screens, algorithms, AI, and constant digital connection, people are still longing for something real.

Real relationships.
Real encouragement.
Real community.

That’s one reason church planting matters so deeply.

Healthy local churches create spaces where people are known, supported, challenged, prayed for, and reminded they are not alone. While technology continues to reshape how we communicate, the Church still has the opportunity to show what authentic, Christ-centered community looks like.

Today, we pause to remember and honor the men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. Their sacrifice reminds us that freedom is never free, and we are deeply grateful for their courage, service, and legacy.

“Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” — John 15:13

SPONSOR A STUDENT
Every year, students answer God’s call into ministry — but financial barriers can make leadership training difficult to access.

Through Sponsor a Student, your support helps future pastors, missionaries, and ministry leaders grow in faith, leadership, and service. A gift of $25 a month or a one-time gift of $300 can make a lasting impact not only in a student’s life, but in the churches and communities they’ll one day serve.

Would you prayerfully consider sponsoring a student today?

“You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free.” —Galatians 5:13

This Independence Day, we’re grateful not only for the freedom we celebrate as a nation—but for the deeper freedom we have in Christ.

Freedom with a purpose.
Freedom to serve.
Freedom to love.

Ministry is heavy—and too often, it’s lonely.
Pastors carry the weight of others while quietly battling spiritual fatigue themselves. In fact, 70% of pastors consider leaving ministry within their first 10 years. The pipeline for new pastors is thinning, and one truth is clear: our pastors need to feel known, valued, and loved.
