All, I have made the difficult decision to close the community for the time being. I knew there would be a time commitment involved to make this community everything I wanted it to be, I just didn't realize how much. I just don't have the time right now to put all the energy into building a successful community. I have a year left in seminary, I have a full-time job, and I am a bi-vocational discipleship pastor as well. That leaves really no time for my family. My plan is to revisit the idea of building a community in July 2027. After I graduate seminary. I will be praying for you all and thanks for the ones that tried to make a go of this with me. Thanks, Brent

I just had to remove a member for posting spam on the community page. I had my suspicions about him, but I gave him the benefit of the doubt. Please let me know if you encounter this in our community. I want this to be a safe place.

I am considering doing a once-a-week coffee hour. It would be a time to just hang out and get to know each other. We could also do some questions and answers in there. Is this something that would interest you? I would run it directly from the Skool platform, so you would not need to download any software or anything else. If so, I will put a poll below with some suggested times that we may have it. *All times would be Central Standard Time in the US.

We are so glad to have you. Introduce yourself to the community. If you look at the "About" page, you will see a couple of videos. One is a welcome and sort of an explanation of how the community came to be. The other is a video of my personal testimony. Next, click on the "classroom" tab and go to the "Start Here" lesson. This will give you further guidance on how our community works. Please let me know if you have ANY questions.

I am thankful to God for you and God has chosen us for the world in which billions of people live so that we can serve Him and achieve salvation and everlasting life. The Lord says that you are not but I have chosen you from this world God has the purpose in everything and everything. No work or thing happens without God's will I believe that God has mixed us out of this great world. There is definitely a purpose in God
