Become a Founding Partner
Join us in strengthening the Church for eternity
God has given us the vision. We've seen the beginning. Now we invite you to be part of what He will do next.
This is more than a ministry. It is a movement of discipleship.
Following the Leader exists to help everyday believers take their next step toward Jesus — and to strengthen the local churches that disciple them. What began as a single daily email has become a movement reaching people in all 50 states and around the world.
As a Founding Partner, you are not just making a gift — you are helping build a legacy that will last for generations.
“For we are God's fellow workers; you are God's field, God's building.”
He plants. He grows. He multiplies.
What God has already done
We didn't start with a staff, a building, or a budget. We started with obedience and a surrendered heart — and God has done far more than we could have imagined.

Eternity
Lives changed for God's glory — for the next generation and beyond
The burden that will not let go
The Church we love is strong in many ways — but we see what breaks Jesus' heart.
Declining engagement
Fewer people in the pews. Fewer volunteers. Fewer young people. Fewer new believers.
A weakened discipleship culture
Too many churches are teaching, but not equipping. Informing, but not transforming.
A forgotten Great Commission
We are called to make disciples who make disciples — not just attend church.
A world that is searching
People are hungry for hope, purpose, and truth, but many have never been invited into a real relationship with Jesus.
This burden is not about fixing what is broken. It is about helping the Church become everything Jesus created her to be. We cannot do it alone — we need partners who share this burden.
Your partnership makes the difference
You invest in eternity
You help provide resources that lead people to Jesus and equip the Church to make disciples who make disciples.
You help strengthen the Church
Your partnership gives pastors and leaders the tools, training, and encouragement they need to lead with confidence.
You multiply impact
Together, we can reach more people, in more places, with more resources than we ever could alone.
You join what God is doing
This is not our plan — it is His mission. He has already started it. We simply get to be part of it.
You leave a legacy
Your generosity today will help build a ministry that inspires and transforms lives for generations to come.
God is opening a door
We're looking for people to walk through it with Him.
Every great ministry begins with men and women who choose to believe in God's vision before the rest of the world can see it. We're praying God will raise up a small group of Founding Partners to help establish Following the Leader for generations to come.

A personal invitation from Joe
If God has stirred your heart through this vision, I would be honored to visit with you personally. Every partnership begins with a conversation, a shared prayer, and a desire to discern where God is leading.
I'm not asking you to make a decision today. I'm asking you to pray. If, after praying, you believe God is inviting you to help establish Following the Leader for generations to come, I would be honored to continue that conversation with you.
