"It's exciting to see this group of theologians, counselors, and pastors having this absolutely needed conversation."
~ Larry, Pastor and Marriage and Family Therapist (about the Attaching to God Summit)

Thanks for the Past—Help us Build into the Future:

Can you Join Us to Raise $15,000 for the next Summit.

First off, as we enter this Christmas season, Cyd and I are so filled with gratitude for the gift of community and support that surrounds Embodied Faith.

This year, we’ve had the joy of watching God grow this work, through

7 different Attaching to God and Rooted learning cohorts
…that trained 151 pastors, spiritual directors, therapists, and others
Launching a Doctor of Ministry program that maxed out with 25 students
An online Summit that connected with over 3800+ people

**ABOUT THE ATTACHING TO GOD SUMMIT, WE HAVE A SPECIAL INVITATION.**

OUR GOAL IS TO RAISE $15,000 in December as seeds for the next Summit.

In October (after working for 3 months on it), we hosted a 3-day online Summit on Attaching to God with 12 different speakers.

Here are two testimonies:

I felt enlivened by the Spirit as I listened to and engaged with the speakers during the Attaching to God Summit. ~ Megan, Spiritual Director

The Summit exceeded my expectations. The speakers were engaging and thoughtful, and I left with lots to consider regarding spiritual formation, ministry, and how to help people attach to God. ~ Jonathan, Pastor

Here are two stats:

3800 signed up for the Summit before it started (which was like, Wow! Way more than I thought)
We averaged 6000 unique views for each day of the Summit (so the word was getting out as the event was going on)

Give To Embodied Faith (through non-profit incubator, Revival Valley)

Why $15,000? This is so we can...

Reduce the cost by 25% for EVERYONE (the goal is to be sustainable and affordable)
Offer half and full scholarships for those who need them
Develop the technology for producing and hosting such a complicated event
Keep the same high-quality speakers and production
Any extra money will be used for scholarships for online learning cohorts, podcast production, and creating free resources.

Will you be one of 50 one-time donors who can help us meet this $15,000 goal?

Giant Giving Button ;-)

To reach this goal we need, roughly…

5 gifts of $1000+
10 gifts of $500
10 gifts of $250
25 gifts of $100

(I’m bad with math, but I think that adds up to $15,000)

As we look to close out 2024, would you consider joining us in supporting this ministry, especially our next online Summit?

You can give to Embodied Faith through our non-profit incubator, Revival Valley (use this link for your gift).

Any gift, large or small, extends the impact of Embodied Faith, enabling Christian leaders and communities to live more deeply connected to God.

Thank you for your generosity, and may God’s love and peace fill you richly this season.

Smaller Giving Button ;-)
