Located smack dab in the middle of Silicon Valley, Jay Kim remains convinced that what people need is not just innovation but a restoration of analog. In an age where we all want to control our experiences, Kim stands firmly on the need for church, uncurated gatherings, and authentic relationships.

Go deeper into leading yourself (and your church) to building the habits of Jesus, we’d love to introduce you to the 40-Day Being Challenge.

Many Christians today aren’t great at maintaining the habits of Jesus. 

Even the most “mature” Christians struggle with opening up in community, prioritizing prayer, and seeking regular solitude. But that doesn’t have to be your story. 

The Being Challenge guides you through 40 days of practical, simple-to-understand challenges to help you learn, develop, and grow in the five keystone habits of Jesus.
