Lewie will be publishing a book this year - Benching Our Best Players: Recovering the Role of Singles in Kingdom Leadership. You can read his article on the topic here 🔗 https://loom.ly/Ql02efE

The World Evangelical Alliance is advancing a paradigm within our global family that fully values, engages, and empowers single and single-again persons.

Lewie Clark is a single Christian leader with pastoral experience in large churches, small churches and church planting. As founder of Icon Ministries in Chicago, Lewie's heart is to disciple the next generation to follow Jesus.

In this article Benching our Best Players, Lewie shows how important it is for the global church to recognize and strengthen Christian leaders—both married and single—who are taking the gospel to the ends of the earth.

We’re kicking off our new podcast season with the light topic of deconstruction 😜🙃

Are you curious… What is deconstruction? Why does it happen? Is it good or bad? What is it about our cultural moment that contributes to deconstruction? What do I do with the internal dissonance I feel about God, the Bible, church, my faith, etc? What is the role of questions, doubts, and resistance in my discipleship process?

Join Ryan and Lewie and our guests, Jeff Hayden and Anna Robinson, around the table as they share their thoughts and personal experiences with this important and relevant topic.

🎧 Listen at link in bio.

More than 20,000 migrants have arrived in Chicago from the southern border since 2022, fleeing danger and seeking a better life in America. In the midst of this humanitarian crisis and a city grappling with how to handle the massive influx, there is an incredible opportunity for the church in Chicago (and beyond) to practice welcome, hospitality, and care.

We desire to act and advocate on behalf of our new neighbors and support other churches doing the same. Our team has been actively participating in the areas below and wants to raise funds in order to continue:

-welcoming new arrivals with dignity and meet basic needs
-connecting migrants to resources that put them on a path to resettlement, support and community
-providing more trauma trainings for pastors, community leaders, and migrants
-being spiritual companions as we make disciples through love, friendship and hospitality

Your donation could make a big difference for these migrants in 2024! This holiday season, give the gift of welcome by making a donation at the link in our bio or through your Venmo account to . 🎁
