How We Work

Our Theory of Change

Inspiring a world where great preaching puts faith into action.

OUR SHARED CONCERN

There is a measurable decline in relevant, inspiring, and socially impactful preaching in the United States.

Many faith communities experience a disconnect between proclaimed faith and lived action, contributing to disengagement in both church life and broader social involvement. There is limited access, especially public and digital access, to the most effective, spiritually rich, and socially engaged preachers who can model transformative leadership and faith in action.

OUR COLLECTIVE VISION

We envision a world where compelling Christian preaching renews spiritual vitality, fosters social transformation, and catalyzes faith-driven action in communities.

Our Long-Term Outcomes

✔ A renewed generation of Christian leaders, preachers, teachers, ministers and laity equipped with skills and imagination to preach meaningfully and prophetically.

✔ Increased public access to exemplary preaching that inspires spiritual depth, compassion, justice, and service.

✔ Greater connection between faith and action across congregations, especially among younger and more diverse audiences.

✔ Broader cultural recognition of preaching as a transformative force in civic life and moral leadership.
