Thanks to our sponsor today Red Letter Living. We create resources that help people become greater disciples of Jesus. This podcast is one of them. But our newest resource, which is available now for ordering, is Red Letter Advent. This thing is hot off the press! Red Letter Advent is a 25-day devotional that is perfect for your church. For December 1-25, readers will be invited to unbox the four gifts of hope, peace, joy, and love that Jesus so desperately wants for them to not only open but give away to others. Not only will readers go through a powerful journey but so will the whole church. Alongside the book, we provide every other resource your church would need for FREE for a powerful month of December. I’m talking sermons, small group videos (or for those that do midweek, you can use them for your midweek offerings), kids curriculum, daily family questions, graphics, you name it. It’s going to be an epic month of December. Now, here’s the deal. Because we have seasonality of this product, we did a presale and we only have very limited copies available. So, first-come, first-serve. Get them now. You can check out our bulk pricing and all of the FREE resources we are building for this project at www.redletteradvent.com.  So, get in now, today, you can’t wait any longer, and lock your church into a powerful month of December with Red Letter Advent.  You can find all the details at www.redletteradvent.com. That’s redletteradvent.com.

The wonderful thing about writing is that there is a backspace button. - Allison Zehnder

Write something every day. - Allison Zehnder

In all the glitz of Christmas, don’t forget the why. - Zach Zehnder

Zach and Allison Zehnder’s Challenge: Make a plan for Advent this year. 

Are you following Jesus? 

Many want to be greater followers of Jesus but don’t know how. We extensively studied everything Jesus commanded of us and located five key targets to which Jesus invited His followers. The five targets are Being, Forgiving, Serving, Giving, and Going.

In partnership with LifeWay Research, we created a Red Letter Challenge Assessment that will measure you according to these five targets. And the best news of all: it’s free! You will receive your results immediately and be presented with the next steps to help you become an even greater follower of Jesus.
