Applications for the 2027-28 cohort open in January.

Feel free to contact us with any questions.

We’re on a mission to reawaken weary preachers to their most whole and holy selves. Join us.

Who We’re Looking For

We’re interested in applicants who have been preaching for a while and are having a hard time remembering their “why?” for this sacred work. Perhaps you are experiencing weariness in your soul. We hope a year in our cohort will revitalize you. Perhaps your imagination is hibernating. We hope a year in our cohort will stir imagination from its hiding place. Our ten-month cohort journey is designed to hold space for busy preachers to pause and play their way into a renewal of their vocation as preachers of the Good News.

Application Details

Applications open in January 2027.

  • This is not only a free program, but one that comes with a stipend for your participation! We also pay for travel, conference registration, and lodging for annual gatherings in Kansas City, MO.
