Not only will readers go through a powerful journey but so will the whole church. Alongside the book, we provide every other resource your church would need for FREE for a powerful month of December, including sermons, small group videos (or for those that do midweek, you can use them for your midweek offerings), kids curriculum, daily family questions, graphics, you name it.

So, get in now, today, you can’t wait any longer, and lock your church into a powerful month of December with Red Letter Advent. You can find all the details at www.redletteradvent.com.

The wonderful thing about writing is that there is a backspace button. – Allison Zehnder

Write something every day. – Allison Zehnder

In all the glitz of Christmas, don’t forget the why. – Zach Zehnder

Zach and Allison Zehnder’s Challenge: Make a plan for Advent this year. 

Are you following Jesus? 

Many want to be greater followers of Jesus but don’t know how. We extensively studied everything Jesus commanded of us and located five key targets to which Jesus invited His followers. The five targets are Being, Forgiving, Serving, Giving, and Going.

In partnership with LifeWay Research, we created a Red Letter Challenge Assessment that will measure you according to these five targets. And the best news of all: it’s free! You will get results back immediately and be presented with the next steps to help you become an even greater follower of Jesus.

You can take the FREE Red Letter Challenge Assessment here.
