Your Gift Encourages Friends To Follow Jesus

For years, I’ve created content and programs to help people grow in their faith. But my doctoral research revealed the most important element: friendship.

God designed us to grow through our friends and mentors. Our lives are transformed when we intentionally imitate Christ together in the ordinary rhythms of life.

That insight reshaped everything we do. We’re creating resources that help friends open the Bible together and follow Jesus side by side.

What we built in 2024:

  • 30 new, in-depth Bible studies designed for friends (200+ pages total)

  • The Friends Following Jesus website with many more studies

  • A small team multiplied our reach: a 5.6x increase in YouTube views and 3x website traffic (240,000 visitors)

Where your money goes:

I don't take a salary. Every dollar funds the team and resources that make this work possible. In 2024, we invested $33,000 in our mission.

What your gift does:

It puts a Bible study in the hands of two friends who don’t know where to start. It funds the people creating and sharing these resources.

Each gift helps one more disciple follow Jesus: not alone, but with their closest friends. Will you partner with us?
