Help People Follow the Way of Jesus
Our resources are free because of a growing group of monthly givers called The Circle and other generous gifts.
To join The Circle, select an amount, then set it to recurring giving (under “Frequency,” select “Regularly”).
What is The Circle?
The Circle is a group of monthly givers who decide to live with less so that others can rediscover apprenticeship to Jesus.
Join us and receive:
Early access to new resources
Video updates from John Mark
Live quarterly update calls
and the occasional gift (so check your mailbox)
To join The Circle, select any amount and set frequency to Regularly and Monthly.

“The fact that everything is offered for free is still just absolutely shocking to me. I’m operating, as most churches are, on a tight budget. It’s incredible to be able to offer this to people in a way that they feel like they’re being generously cared for.”
–Svea Merry, Pastor, Autumn Ridge Church
