Earlier this month, 25 emerging leaders gathered in Nashville for the first in-person gathering of our SOLD OUT Emerging Leaders Learning Community! 🙌

These leaders are spending four gatherings together, two in person and two online, learning from experienced Multipliers, building meaningful relationships, and discovering what it looks like to move from addition thinking to multiplication thinking.

And we’re investing in them by making the entire Learning Community FREE for every participant.

This is one of the ways your generosity helps us equip the next generation of healthy disciple-making leaders who will carry multiplication forward.

Let’s Multiply the Movement together.

How do we share an unchanging Gospel in a constantly changing culture?

In this Multiethnic Church NEXT article, Dr. Harry Li explores why Cultural Intelligence (CQ) matters for the Church, and how the ways we communicate, lead, and create belonging may need to change as the people and cultures around us change.

The Gospel doesn’t change. But how can our churches continue making room for the people God brings through our doors?

The last couple of days, our staff team spent time in Montgomery, Alabama, learning more about our country’s history and reflecting on what it means for us today.

Thank you to the UNDIVIDED team for guiding us through such a powerful and meaningful experience. Grateful for the opportunity to learn, reflect, and grow together.

We’re just about ONE MONTH away from Exponential National Conferences! 🙌

This fall, 1,000+ leaders will gather at National Conference | West and Central around one big idea:

MULTIPLIER: How Healthy Leaders Create Lasting Impact

Because we reproduce who we are and what we do, multiplication starts with who we’re becoming.

Through powerful main sessions, practical workshops, worship, and connection with other leaders, you’ll be challenged and equipped to become a healthy disciple-making leader who multiplies disciples, leaders, churches, and movements.

📍 WEST | Castro Valley, CA
October 27–29

Where should we draw the line when it comes to using AI in ministry?

In this AI NEXT article, Kenny Jahng shares 11 ministry tasks you should never hand to AI, from responding to someone in crisis and personal apologies to counseling notes, discernment, and pastoral care.

And underneath all 11 is one simple test:
Does this task require someone to be known?

AI can create capacity for ministry. But there are moments when presence, relationship, history, and trust simply can’t be handed off to a tool.

What if traditional church and house church didn’t have to be an either/or?

In “Hybrid Church: 3 Innovative Ways Traditional Churches Can Incorporate the House Church Model,” Kathryn Maack, Founder & Visionary of Dwellings, explores practical ways churches can make room for new expressions without abandoning what already exists.

What if the people you’re leading were never meant to stay?

In this Women NEXT article, “Invisible Leaders,” Noemi Chavez challenges us to rethink what successful leadership looks like, not by how many people stay under our leadership, but by how well we develop, love, and release people into what God has next for them.

What if the greatest impact of your leadership is something you may never fully see?
