Hi reader,

Happy Easter Season! We continue to enjoy the mercies of God that are new every morning.

This month I'm excited to share a new resource that just launched. As you know, one part of my job is to create content for Faith+Lead Academy. Check out the new, FREE, mini-course called A New Focus: Membership to Discipleship.
In this course you’ll explore the key characteristics that distinguish membership-focused churches from discipleship-focused churches. When churches focus primarily on membership, they often become centered on attendance, buildings, and budgets—measurable metrics that provide a sense of control in an uncertain world. The identity of the church becomes tied to a place, a worship service, and clear boundaries about who belongs and who doesn't. But what if the church reclaimed its original calling as a movement of disciples—apprentices learning to follow the way of Jesus in their everyday lives?
Also, did you get a chance to see my new START HERE page? I think it's pretty fun. I'd love to get your feedback.
Sharing this journey with you,
Steve Thomason
