Outreach is all about finding needs and filling them, finding hurts and healing them. Some of the greatest needs and hurts in our world today are happening within the mind. While mental health is a massive need - it's not always readily seen or recognized. So how do we identify mental health needs in our community? How can we respond? What if we don't feel qualified or even know where to start? Father/Daughter Duo, Ps. Toby Slough and Bailey Garner are here to help us navigate and respond to possibly one of the greatest opportunities to spread hope we've ever seen. It may get a little messy - but it's a lot simpler than you might think! Get the tissues, the notebooks, the coffee, and all the things. This one is a GAME CHANGER!

True story, before becoming a serve enthusiast - Anthony Minor was trying to quit the church. But he just couldn't shake the genuine and personal kind of love he was experiencing at Hope City Church in Houston, TX. On a vacation with his wife, he read the book Servolution and it sparked something in his heart.

Ever since then he and his wife, Michelle, have been 1000000% all in to serve people with the love of Jesus in their city, throughout the nation, and across the world. They have a saying that “your 'yes' changes lives” and they're proof of just how true that is.

After battling addiction throughout his youth, Brendan McDonough found sobriety when he joined his firefighter crew - the Granite Mountain Hotshots. However, Brendan tragically found himself the sole survivor of his crew after the Yarnell Hill Fire swept through Arizona in 2013. This horrific loss left him with unspeakable pain, PTSD, and sent him spiraling back into addiction and he even considering taking his own life. But God got a hold of Brendan's heart. Through his family, local church, and community leaders and friends, Brendan found hope, healing, and purpose. Since then Brendan founded Hold Fast Recovery Ministry where he and his team are helping men get free from their addiction. For Brendan it's not just about a successful program - it's about being a shepherd, it's about helping people dig deep, to learn to dream again, and helping them learn to know God's voice for themselves. With an 80% success rate, Hold Fast Recovery is a game changer for those who are ready to overcome addiction. And Brendan's humble and personal leadership style is at the heart of it all.
