A strong relationship with God solves everything
The most important target to hit as a disciple of Jesus is BEING in a relationship with Him. We know what it’s like to have the desire to grow in our relationship with God and yet feel stagnant. Being Challenge leads readers to a stronger relationship with God through simple challenges that focus on the 5 keystone habits of Jesus: community, scripture, prayer, solitude and church.
Being Challenge is for Every Ministry
Find fulfillment and purpose through challenges that are simple and practical. Memorable targets and daily challenges will help you gain momentum.
Being Challenge will help kids instill the keystone habits of Jesus in these faith-formative years! There are no better habits to learn as children grow and mature.
Grow your church. Grow your small groups. Unify around the words of Jesus. Start a movement with done-for-you resources and join the hundreds of churches who have seen God work powerfully through RLC.
Discover the 5 Keystone Habits of Jesus
Commit to Community
Experiencing freedom starts by acknowledging that we have all missed the mark.
Study Scripture
It’s what we do after sin that determines whether we experience freedom. God invites us to bring our sin to Him.
Prioritize Prayer
Discover how the consequence of every sin of every person, including yours, has been paid for in full by the blood of Jesus.
Seek Solitude
The forgiveness of Jesus moves us forward by restoring our identity and inviting us to live with purpose.
Choose Church
True freedom comes when we participate with Jesus in bringing His kingdom to this Earth right now. Follow Jesus!
How is Being Challenge Different?
We know what it’s like to live in this world, to have success and still feel empty, and to still be longing for something more. Being Challenge offers practical habits and behaviors for Christian living and we keep the language simple. Whether you join a 40-day challenge as an individual or a church, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of the ways of Jesus and discover purpose and fulfillment in the journey.

What Church Leaders are Saying
“After completing Red Letter Challenge two years ago, our congregation was very excited to do the Being Challenge this Lent. Our participation rate was even higher than for Red Letter Challenge, and it gave the congregation something to be excited about.”
Chris Kollmann
Lutheran Church of the Redeemer
“How do you find common ground in a deeply divided culture? Zach Zehnder’s focus on the words and habits of Jesus have unified congregations and people in a deeply needed way. Taking your church through Being Challenge might be the best thing you can do right now. Culture divides. Christ unites.”
Carey Nieuwhof
