If you’re like me, you’re always looking for ways to stay informed and engaged with the world around us. That’s why I created On the Rise, a curated newsletter packed with thought-provoking articles and insights on faith, culture, the future of the church, and other topics that I find fascinating and conversation-worthy.

Every week, I bring you the best content from around the web, along with my own personal commentary and insights. It’s a great way to stay connected, engaged, and informed.

So if you’re ready to join the conversation and be part of a community of curious, engaged people, subscribe at ontherisenewsletter.com.

Compassion International

We often think about the power of a great sermon.  But we might underestimate the impact of experiences.  When people experience God in a way that’s outside of their usual rhythms and routines, lives often change. 

That’s why I’d encourage you to bring a Compassion Experience to your church.  It’s an interactive way to witness the realities of life for children in poverty AND the church’s incredible response.  Families in your community will see how the gospel is transforming lives around the world.  And it will renew your church’s heart for discipleship, generosity, and global missions. 

Compassion is currently working with the local church to release over 2.2 MILLION children from poverty in Jesus’ name, and I’ve personally supported them for years.
