Podcasts about North Point Community Church

Today, we have the joy of welcoming Robby Angle, President and CEO of Trueface, to the Love is Fearless Podcast! Robby is passionate about helping people move from simply knowing about grace to living out their true identity in Jesus—with trust, freedom, and relational depth. Before leading Trueface, Robby pastored thousands toward authentic community at North Point Community Church. Now, he's helping steward a powerful new resource called The Path—an experience designed to move believers beyond striving and into a transformational life of trusting God. Also, The Path Experience Guide is designed for community groups to facilitate life change through relationships. Together, we'll explore: What inspired The Path and why it's so needed now How trusting God (not just pleasing Him) changes everything Why following Jesus sometimes feels harder after you surrender—and how that's part of real transformation How families, not just individuals, can be reshaped by grace You're in the Right Place If… You're tired of knowing about grace but still feeling stuck. Maybe you're looking for God's approval. Maybe you're looking for man's approval. Maybe you're tired of looking for approval, and you're ready to admit you're looking for meaning and purpose.  You're not sure about Jesus - and you're really not sure about a life of faith. Too much of what you see either lacks authenticity or adds too much pressure…but, honestly, you're tired of dreading Mondays…so if there's more to the Jesus story than you've experienced so far…you're curious. You're ready to stop trying to figure it out alone—and start walking the path of grace with Jesus. Favorite quotes from today's conversation:  (Doug's favorite) “Each and every one of us longs for fulfillment. It's in our bones, in our blood, in our breath. We sense that we are made for peace and joy and yet it slips through our grasping fingers like water and wind. Breathe. Find the courage to look at your longing, at your closed fists. And ask: What have I been searching for?” (The City, The Path) (Janet's favorite) “The place God calls you to is the place where your deep gladness and the world's deep hunger meet." (Frederick Buechner) “Every morning we stand on the wild edge of a story unfolding beneath our very feet.” (The Story, The Path)

In today's episode, we continue our conversation from last week about letting kids do things on their own to help build their confidence, and boy, were people mad, so we had to revisit the topic. After all, we want to encourage bravery, not paranoia, in our children. We also talk about whether parents should allow their kids to attend sleepovers or not, and our views might surprise you. Also, we're discussing the leaked training video out of Andy Stanley's North Point Community Church for youth group leaders about LGBTQ youth in middle school and how they ought to respond. Spoiler alert: It's not biblical. And is the White House going too far with its bizarre social media messaging about deportations? Or is it just capitalizing on trending memes?

Many of you have already heard of Tony Morgan's passing on the morning of Wednesday, September 4, 2024, after suffering a heart attack two days before and battling with all his strength. But we wanted you to hear it from our voices. This is a tribute to the best boss we ever had, the leader who practiced what he preached, and the man who loved Jesus and His church. In this short episode, Sean, Tiffany, and Amy share the statement released by The Unstuck Group, along with some updates on the future of the podcast.  It's been an unspeakably difficult week. Thank you for all your kind words and prayers. Please continue to lift up Emily and all of Tony's kids in prayer, and the Unstuck team too.  The Morgan family has published Tony's obituary and asked us to share it with you.  We will be celebrating the life and the legacy that Tony lived on September 19th at 11:00 am Eastern at his church, North Point Community Church. If you choose to attend, please wear anything but black clothes, because this is a celebration—celebration of the life he lived and the impact that we will continue to carry throughout our lives. If you plan to attend the service, please bring a handwritten or typed note with a memory of Tony or a description of the impact he had on your life. Notes will be displayed on a memory board at the reception following the service, and treasured forever by the family. In lieu of flowers, the family has asked that you make a donation in support of a cause close to Tony's heart: developing the next generation to lead unstuck churches. You can donate here to a fund established to provide scholarships for young pastors to participate in leadership training through The Unstuck Group.

It's Friday, July 5th, A.D. 2024. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Nigerian Muslim terrorists demand ransom for kidnapped pastor Boko Haram, the Islamic terror group, recently shared a video on social media in which Nigerian Pastor Paul Musa was pleading for his life as an armed, masked Islamic extremist stands behind him, reports International Christian Concern. The Muslim terrorist group abducted the 59-year-old pastor and his wife, Ruth, age 50, in March 2023 from their home in Borno State, Nigeria. In the video, the pastor is wearing orange clothing, reminiscent of the orange jumpsuits worn by the 21 Egyptian Coptic Christians that the Islamic State group beheaded on a beach in Libya in 2015. The Muslim militants demanded the pastor's family pay $130,000 by Monday, July 8th or Pastor Musa would be killed. Since 2009, Islamic extremists such as Boko Haram, Islamic State West African Province, Islamic Fulani militants, and unidentified gunmen have killed an estimated 45,000 Nigerian Christians. In fact, earlier this month, members of Islamic State West African Province executed three Christians in the Borno State. These groups also continue to kidnap pastors and priests and hold them for ransom. It is critical that there is a loud cry from American Christians to the persecution of Christians in Nigeria. Please send a polite, yet firm physical letter to Dr. Uzoma Emenike, the Nigerian Ambassador, asking her to use her influence to save Pastor Paul Musa. Send your letter to Nigerian Embassy, 3519 International Court, NW, Washington, DC 20008. You can also email Mr. Rabi Luwal, Head of Information, to two specific email addresses in our transcript today at www.TheWorldview.com.  RabiuLawal@NigeriaEmbassyusa.org, PublicComplaints@NigeriaEmbassyUSA.org Hezbollah launches big attack on Israel The Lebanese Hezbollah group said it launched over 200 rockets on Thursday at several military bases in Israel in retaliation for a strike that killed one of its senior commanders, reports The Associated Press. An atheist set to become new British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, an atheist, is on course for a landslide election victory as the next British Prime minister, and leader of the Labour Party. Starmer is forecast to win 410 seats, putting the party on track for its best result since 2001. In a brutal reckoning, the Conservatives are set to be reduced to just 131 Members of Parliament, their lowest number since the party was founded in 1832. The Liberal Democrats are expected to get 61 seats. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, a Hindu, was heading for crushing defeat as voters rejected Tory rule after 14 years. Hurricane Beryl's trail of destruction in Jamaica Hurricane Beryl is churning toward the Cayman Islands and Mexico  today after leaving a trail of destruction in southern Jamaica, killing at least two people on the island nation, bringing down power lines, and leaving hundreds homeless and in shelters, reports NBC News. That brings the total dead this week in the Caribbean to nine. Hurricane Beryl had maximum sustained winds of about 160 mph, reported the National Hurricane Center, putting the storm in Category 5 status. Since debate, Trump's lead widens by additional 3% Former President Donald Trump is leading President Biden 49% to 43% among likely voters in the latest New York Times/Siena College poll, reports Axios.com. That's a three-point swing for Trump since the debate, and his largest lead in the survey since 2015. Democrats begin to consider Harris at the top of their ticket As President Biden continues to face questions about whether he should end his bid to seek a second term, there are growing signs that many in the Democratic Party are willing to accept the notion of Vice President Kamala Harris at the top of their presidential ticket, a potentially significant shift, reports The Washington Post. In candor, many Democrats were also worried that Harris would be a weak candidate, based in part on her ill-fated presidential run in 2020, when she was forced to drop out before a single vote was cast. But choosing someone instead of Harris, the first woman of color to serve as vice president, seemed politically untenable. Andy Stanley criticizes Southern Baptists for ousting Rick Warren's Saddleback Church over female pastor Georgia megachurch Pastor Andy Stanley has criticized the Southern Baptist Convention for disfellowshipping Rick Warren's Saddleback Church over its unbiblical approval of female pastors, reports The Christian Post. In a sermon Sunday at North Point Community Church of Alpharetta, Stanley, the son of the late Charles Stanley, a Southern Baptist pastor, expressed his strong disagreement. STANLEY: “One of the two people who really launched this movement way back in the late 70s is Rick Warren. Before he wrote The Purpose Driven Life, he wrote The Purpose Driven Church. That book sold millions of copies to pastors, and it was a book about how to create a church that's for outsiders, for unchurched people. He is a modern church reformer. “Last year, his denomination kicked him out of the denomination for something immoral? No! Something illegal? No! Something to do with money? No!  Because he's had some addiction. No, none of that, you know, glamorous stuff. “They kicked him out because he had the nerve to ordain three female staff members who were functioning as pastors. He ordained them as pastors, which is actually a legal status. It gave them a tax benefit. They're doing the work of all the other male pastors. He's like, ‘Well, why in the world, would we not make them pastors?' They're pastoring. And they weren't gonna go out and lead a church. They were working on his staff. He ordained three women and they kicked him out of the church. You don't get any more insider focused than that!” But, truth be told, that's not the whole story. In February 2023, the Southern Baptist Convention Executive Committee deemed Saddleback not in "friendly cooperation" with the convention. At issue is Pastor Andy Wood, who succeeded Saddleback founder Rick Warren as lead pastor, listing his wife, Stacie, as the church's teaching pastor. The Baptist Faith & Message 2000, the convention's official statement of beliefs, says that the "office of pastor is limited to men as qualified by Scripture." Although Saddleback Church had previously ordained three female pastors in May 2021, the convention cited Stacie Wood's naming as teaching pastor as the actual reason for the expulsion. In describing a pastor, Titus 1:6 says, “An elder must be blameless, faithful to his wife, a man whose children believe and are not open to the charge of being wild and disobedient.” Join me on the Colorado Father/Son Retreat Join me, Adam McManus, and my two sons, Honor and Valor, at the Colorado father son retreat Thursday, August 15. through Sunday, August 18.

On this episode of the Trueface podcast, I am with Todd Fields. Todd is a worship leader and founder of Worship Circle. Todd  was created to create leaders. Whether it was with Louie Giglio at 7:22, at North Point Community Church in Atlanta or now with the mentorship ministry he started called Worship Circle, there are countless worship leaders in the world that wouldn't be who they are today without Todd pouring into them little by little. Ministry life can be rewarding, but it can also be lonely and tiring. Although we are known from the platform it's easy to exchange that knowing from being truly known in a safe and intimate way. It can be easy to believe that God wants what we DO for Him more than who we ARE in Him. The mission of reaching people is a good thing…but can often come before the mission of our own heart being reached and cared for.Worship Circle began in 2014 when Carrie and Todd Fields felt God calling them to pay attention to the development of their own hearts and souls after years of being in public ministry. Over the past 8 years they have been on a journey of knowing themselves and knowing God in a deeper way. By providing a safe virtual community through mentors leading small groups and an in person REST Retreat each year over 1200 worship leaders from countries all over the world have come to know that they are “Loved and Not Alone”.Watch: https://youtu.be/rQ9UkJLu6t4Listen:Download the Trueface Life app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store!Learn More about the trueface Journey Here: https://www.trueface.org/truefacejourney.Thanks for joining the podcast.

Statistics show that one in five Gen Z children are identifying somewhere on the LGBTQ spectrum. One in five. Parents must realize that all of our children are dealing with this issue, because even if our kids aren't personally struggling in their sexuality, their friends are. This issue affects every parent and every child.    The church needs to have a loving and truthful approach for families facing this issue.   One of the largest and most influential churches in the United States, North Point Community Church, pastored by one of the most influential ministers in the world, Andy Stanley, just went on the record telling us about his church's approach. Stanley's message, along with the Unconditional Conference for parents of LGBTQ identifying children held at North Point, signify a substantial departure from where the evangelical church has stood on this issue.   Does Stanley have the right approach? Is it Biblical? Should we be concerned?   Catherine's guest in this episode has been ministering to parents of children in the LGBTQ community for many years because she is one. As a mother of a same-sex attracted daughter who has embraced an LGBTQ identity and union, Melinda Patrick is precisely the kind of parent that the Unconditional Conference was trying to reach. But she has deep concerns about this conference and Stanley's teaching.   Together, Catherine and Melinda break down the troubling aspects of this conference and the message that Andy Stanley presented to his church.   Melinda's Bio: Melinda Patrick is the Director of Parent Support for His Wonderful Works and is host of The Bridge Between Us Podcast: Loving Your LGBTQ Identified Child While Not Compromising Truth and The Even While Podcast: Living Well in the Midst of Waiting. Melinda has parented a same-sex attracted child for twelve years and is passionate about helping moms and dads build strong relationships with their children while not compromising truth.   RESOURCES MENTIONED/REFERENCED:   Melinda Patrick's Website Melinda Patrick's email address: melinda@melindapatrick.org Melinda Patrick's Instagram Page The Bridge Between Us Podcast: Loving Your LGBTQ Identified Child Well While Not Compromising Truth The Even While Podcast: Living Well in the Midst of Waiting His Wonderful Works: Hope Healing and Freedom   Catherine Segars email address: catherine@catherinesegars.com   “The Number of LGBTQ Identifying Adults is Soaring” (Axios/data from Gallup) “The Train is Leaving the Station” by Albert Mohler Jr. Andy Stanley's Response: “I Love My Church” Greg & Lynn McDonald: Embracing the Journey The Unconditional Conference Debbie Causey's Website The Freedom March   SCRIPTURES REFERENCED:   John 3:16-21 Matthew 10:34-36 John 18:37 John 14:15 John 15:14 John 15:1 John 8:30-31 Matthew 18:7 Matthew 7:21-23 2 Corinthians 6:14-18 Romans 6:23 Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

If you're not familiar with Andy Stanley, he is the pastor of North Point Community Church just outside of Atlanta, GA. He is well known for his books and messages on leadership and influence. If you want to learn more about him, you can do so on his website. At the end of September, him and his church hosted a conference for the parents of LGBTQIA+ teens and their ministry leaders. Here's an excerpt from the webpage :  "YOU'RE INVITED to the Unconditional Conference. This two-day premier event is for parents of LGBTQ+ children and for ministry leaders looking to discover ways to support parents and LGBTQ+ children in their churches. You will be equipped, refreshed, and inspired as you hear from leading communicators on topics that speak to your heart, soul, and mind. We deeply desire this time will bring about healing and restoration. No matter what theological stance you hold, we invite you to listen, reflect, and learn as we approach this topic from the quieter middle space." I think as Christian leaders and those of us who are leading with a Christian worldview, this is something we need to be talking about. Tune in to today's episode to hear my take on the matter.

In this episode, we discuss the recent LGBTQ+-affirming Unconditional Conference that Andy Stanley and North Point Community Church hosted. Some reports claim that Andy Stanley affirmed the biblical stance on homosexuality and marriage, but did he? Also, in the Quick Hitters segment, we discuss Trevor Bauer having his professional baseball career destroyed by a conniving, manipulative, gold-digging whore, Paw Patrol featuring a non-binary character, President Biden's egregious tweet mocking “thoughts and prayers”, RFK Jr. indicating that he plans to launch an Independent bid for the 2024 Presidential election, California Governor Gavin Newsom's surprising veto of AB 957, and famous tattoo artist Kat Von D renouncing witchcraft and accepting Christ.

North Point Community Church, which is pastored by Andy Stanley, recently hosted a conference that caused quite a stir. Called the Unconditional Conference, the two-day event was geared toward helping Christian parents of LGBTQ+ children navigate their relationships with the children. However, the conference came under sharp criticism for hosting speakers who are LGBTQ+ affirming theologians, two of whom were gay married men. One of the biggest names weighing into the conversation was Albert Mohler, president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. Mohler accused Stanley of departing from "biblical Christianity," a claim Stanley took exception to. While Stanley clarified that he and his church still uphold the traditional view of sexuality and marriage, he said that he doesn't want to "draw lines" but instead "draw circles." Despite his words, many have interpreted Stanley's actions as a tacit endorsement of LGBTQ+ affirming theology. In this episode, we wade into the mess of navigating grace and truth in light of LGBTQ+ issues. How can we prioritize relationships with people within the LGBTQ+ community while not compromising our convictions? What can we learn from Andy Stanley's example, both for the positive and the negative?

Pastor Andy Stanley's involvement in the Unconditional Conference, an event for parents of LGBTQ+ kids and ministry leaders, has made waves throughout the Christian world, with some questioning Stanley's position on biblical marriage and relationships and how his house of worship, North Point Community Church, is tackling the issue.Christian Post reporter Ian M. Giatti joins "The Inside Story" to break down the controversy, explain Stanley's response to critique, and further explore the many facets of this complex story. "I think it's clear that, whatever the larger ... strategy for Stanley and North Point Church is, there's definitely a blurring of the lines as far as his stance on traditional marriage," Giatti said. Listen to the conversation on "The Inside Story."

Andy Stanley's church, North Point Community Church, got himself in trouble when his church hosted a conference for parents of LGBTQ children. At the conference there were speakers who promote LGBTQ values and are in same-sex marriages. But the problem with Stanley's church is much deeper than this issue, as serious as it is.

The Unconditional Conference hosted by Andy Stanley and North Point Community Church concluded last Friday, and details are beginning to emerge about what was taught across the two-day event. While there is much with which I disagree regarding the implications of Stanley's message, hearing the heart with which Stanley said it is helpful for responding to it in a way that is fair and honors God.

The pride section at Target, routinely placed toward the front of the department stores, features items for not just adults, but children as well. And this year, Target is rolling out a 'tuck-friendly' bathing suit designed to help biological men 'tuck' their genitals away to appear more feminine. One bathing suit, created in partnership with Humankind, states that it is “designed for comfort & confidence” and created with “tuck-friendly construction.” Chest binders, 'tuck-friendly' bathing suits for kids, what in literal Hell is happening? Oh, that's right, it's the Days of Lot. On this episode of the NTEB Prophecy News Podcast, corporate America is doubling-down and tripling-down on their support not only for the LGBTQIA+ Movement in general, but for transgender children in particular. Support to groom, recruit and transition children is across the corporate spectrum with industry giants like Target and media giants like Disney leading the charge. But they are far from the only ones doing it, the evangelical church is doing it as well, led by heretics like Andy Stanley at the massive North Point Community Church mega-complex. I am all for a good boycott, but honestly, at this point I cannot see them doing much good. Bud Light sales have dropped 24% and they don't seem to care. No amount of boycott will change the minds of groups like Target and Disney. On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, we show you just how fast the Days of Lot are pulling into the gate.

Today you are in for a treat! Listen as Robby and I unpack GRACE. What is it really? Why is it so hard to grasp? Why does it make some of us so uncomfortable? Grace is simple but also complex, so it makes for a fun topic to nerd out on, and we do! But more than fun, this episode will challenge any root of self-righteousness, pride, or works-based faith that you might have. Which, if you do have, is stealing the peace and joy and freedom that can be yours RIGHT NOW. Yes, it's true. We all remember when we really got grace. Have you gotten it?

It's Monday, February 13th, A.D. 2023. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. By Adam McManus (Adam@TheWorldview.com) Indonesian Christian arrested for YouTube videos An Indonesian Christian apologist, Gratia Pello, has not been seen since his arrest in early December, reports Morning Star News. On December 6, 2022, police came to Pello's home and arrested him. Pello, a professor at a small Christian theological school in East Java, regularly published videos that compared Christianity to Islam. His content was widely disseminated online.   Pello is reportedly a Coptic Orthodox Christian known for debates with Muslims. Proverbs 28:1 says the “righteous are as bold as a lion.” This Indonesian professor certainly qualifies. Many Christians and other religious minorities in the Muslim-majority country often face persecution. According to Open Doors' 2023 World Watch List, Indonesia is the 33rd most difficult country to be a Christian. Please pray for Gratia Pello's release from his Indonesian prison. DeSantis preps 2024 presidential bid behind the scenes Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis is actively preparing a run for president in 2024, even as he delays a formal announcement to keep Republican voters' attention on his aggressively conservative record in Florida, reports Bloomberg. Behind the scenes, DeSantis and his tight-knit team of advisers are interviewing national consultants to work on a presidential campaign. A retreat for roughly 150 donors, GOP leaders and lawmakers is planned for the final weekend in February at a hotel in Palm Beach, where DeSantis will tout his record as governor. Oddly enough, former President Donald Trump has already started to attack his Florida rival, giving him the nonsensical nickname of “Ron DeSanctimonious.”  The Republican primary has gotten off to a slow start, with Trump as the only official candidate so far. Former US Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley is expected to announce her run on February 15. Andy Stanley: Homosexuals have “more faith than a lot of you” A now-viral video of Georgia Pastor Andy Stanley magnifying the faith of homosexuals over "most" of his own congregation has drawn sharp criticism from pastors and Christian thinkers alike, reports The Christian Post.  The clip of Stanley, an influential pastor of North Point Community Church in Alpharetta, Georgia, comes from North Point's Drive Conference last May, where Stanley told pastors and church leaders that any homosexual who continues to go to church has "more faith than a lot of you." Listen. STANLEY: “A gay person who still wants to attend church, after the way the church has treated the gay community, I'm telling you, they have more faith than I do. They have more faith than a lot of you. “A gay person who knows, ‘You know what, I might not be accepted here, but I'm going to try it anyway.' Have you ever done that as a straight person? Where do you go that you're not sure you're going to be accepted and you go over and over and over and over? Only your in-laws' house. That's the only place you go, where you know you're not completely accepted, but you go over and over and over. And it's because you have to. But other than the in-laws, what environment do you continue to step foot in, knowing at any moment, you may feel ostracized? No place. “I'm telling you that gay men and women who grew up in church and the gay men and women have come to faith in Christ as adults who want to participate in our church. Oh, my goodness. I know 1 Corinthians 6 and I know Leviticus, and I know Romans 1. It's so interesting to talk about all that stuff, but, just, oh my goodness.” Stanley referenced and then tabled Leviticus 18:22 which says, “Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman; that is detestable.” Tony Perkins: “Andy Stanley is a false prophet!” Appearing on Todd Starnes' radio show, Family Research Council President Tony Perkins didn't pull any punches. PERKINS: “Andy Stanley is a false prophet, and I believe he is going to have to give an account for ignoring scripture. “It's kind of like in Jeremiah's day where Jeremiah was the target of the cancel culture because he was speaking the Word of God: ‘The people needed to repent and return to the truth.' And the false prophets were saying, “Ah, no, no, peace, peace. Nothing's gonna happen. This guy is just out there. He's crazy.” “We have false prophets today. And when they deviate from the Word of God, they get into this error, into this heretical teaching. And Andy Stanley is one of those.” STARNES: “I think it's causing confusion in the church as well. when he comes out with these kinds of statements.” PERKINS: “It's not only causing confusion, this is causing people to walk in darkness. This is very dangerous. And this is why the New Testament talks about teachers are going to be held to a higher account because, you know, if you're a teacher, if you're a leader, people are listening to you, and they are following you. I make this statement only because I have communicated with Andy Stanley in the past about statements that he's made. So I approached him about these issues, and he said, we'll just have to agree to disagree.” Perkins explained why it's critical that Christian pastors, like Andy Stanley, have a biblical perspective which condemns homosexual behavior. PERKINS: “We're at a point where we're seeing children that are being trafficked.

Despite being raised within a traditional baptistic theology, Pastor Andy Stanley of North Point Community Church has made many statements that depart from a simple faith in the Bible. In this episode we examine Andy's confusing pronouncements about Scripture and uncover how he is leading Christians away from fundamental Christian doctrine by presenting a view of faith that emphasizes anthropological and historical perspectives. In other words, Stanley adopts a skeptical approach to scripture in order to revise his evangelical faith and make it palatable to an enlightened postmodern audience. In place of Biblical authority, Pastor Stanley leads by cult of personality. Visit https://www.lfbi.org/learnmore

This week, we're kicking off a series focused on what's working in large churches across the U.S., sharing insights from Christ Fellowship in Miami, Transformation Church near Charlotte, Sun Valley Community Church in Phoenix, and North Point Community Church in Atlanta.   In this episode, Tony and Amy unpack the strategies these four churches are using to widen their front door and invite more people to follow Jesus.

For Jeanne Stevens, it didn't take long to see herself in her Enneagram type. But it took the experience of facing three deep losses in a short period of time to finally learn how to process—and ultimately let go—of grief, freeing her up to truly live in the present.  In today's episode, Jeanne shares how a childhood experience led her to believe a narrative about her life that no longer serves her.  She also shares the ways she's learned to live in the present through noticing and naming what's happening around her, asking and answering the all-important question: "What's Here Now?"  Jeanne Stevens is the founding and co-lead pastor of Soul City Church in Chicago, one of America's fastest growing urban churches. Prior to starting Soul City Church, Stevens was on the pastoral staff at Willow Creek Community Church and North Point Community Church. A sought-after speaker, leader, and writer, Jeanne's passion is to help people wake up to their purpose as they pursue a life of wholehearted freedom. She lives in Chicago with her husband, Jarrett, and their two children.
