Pastors,

Pastoring in this season of political polarization and toxic tribalism feels like walking a tightrope… during a windstorm… with people yelling at you from all directions ;-)

That’s why I want to invite you to join me for the Fall J29 Pastor Cohort—a space created for pastors who are trying to faithfully disciple their congregations in this age of outrage without getting swept up in culture wars or burned out in the process.

The J29 Coalition is a growing network of theologically evangelical pastors who believe the Church can—and must—reclaim a kingdom-shaped political imagination.

I did this cohort last year and it has better equipped me to lead in this season.

Training
The training is neither about being apolitical nor hyper-partisan. Rather, it's about political discipleship -- shepherding our people to live out the gospel, seek the peace and prosperity of their cities, and stay faithful to Jesus as they engage in civic life.

Over the course of 10 weeks, participants will engage in 8 online coaching sessions with scholars and leaders like Russell Moore, Scot McKnight, David French, Elizabeth Neumann, and more.

The program is bookended with two in-person gatherings: A border trip (McAllen, TX) and retreat (Chicago, Il).

Cost & Schedule
Thanks to the support of generous donors, much of the cost has been subsidized, and we are able to offer this program on a sliding scale.

Online Coaching Sessions: 
Thursdays at 2pm ET | Sept 18 – Nov 6

In-Person Gatherings: 
Border Trip: McAllen, TX Sept 9 – 11
Retreat: Chicago, IL | Nov 11 – 13

Next Steps
If you have questions, I'd love to connect over Zoom. Just reply to this email and we will set it up! If you are ready to apply, click here. We have 35 spots remaining (as of April 18th.)
