If you feel that my writings and teachings have been a benefit to you, and if you want to help reach other people with the message of God’s infinite love and how we can live freely outside of religion, this page contains some ideas for how you can partner with me.<\/p>\n

Some of these suggestions might even allow us to partner with you<\/em> in your various areas of ministry.<\/p>\n

\"help<\/p>\n

Pray! Pray! Pray!<\/h2>\n

Our most important need by far is prayer, and we do appreciate those of you who lift up our lives and this work to him whenever He brings us to mind.<\/p>\n

Pray for wisdom on what to write and how to write it with love and clarity. Pray for open doors about where God wants to send us to help other people, and the wisdom to know which engagements to act upon and which He is telling us to wait.<\/p>\n

Pray for the people who receive the materials we send out that God will touch their lives and draw them closer to Him. Pray for the insight that will help people truly discover the vibrant relationship God wants with them.<\/p>\n

Pray to that God will continue to provide every resource we need to do what He has called us to do.<\/p>\n

Help Publish a Book<\/h2>\n

I have four books written and ready for publication right now<\/em>. But writing a book is only about 10% of the work in putting out a book. It also needs to be edited, proofread, and typeset. It needs a cover design. It needs layout programming for eReaders like the Kindle and iPad. <\/p>\n

Then, once it is published, I need people who are willing to review it on Amazon and on their blog, and to share about it with others on Facebook and Twitter.<\/p>\n

If you are willing and able to help with one (or more) of these things, I would love to partner with you. Please contact me<\/a> and let me know how you would like to help.<\/p>\n

Write a Book with Me<\/h2>\n

\"writeYes, this is an invitation for you to write a book with me. Writing books is one great way to introduce people around the world to the message of God’s radical free grace, the reality of God’s love, and the truth that they can follow Jesus in a personal relationship rather than through the rules and restrictions of religion.<\/p>\n

If you want to co-author a book with me, here is how it works:<\/p>\n

Due to time constraints, I am only able to co-author books with people where I do 90% or more of the writing. Yes, that is right. If you want to co-author a book with me, most of the writing is already done! The reason this is a time saver for me is because I currently don’t have time to read the manuscripts of other authors, and I have already done the writing.<\/p>\n

This blog contains over 2 million words I have written over the past decade or so. If you want to co-author a book with me, your part would be to come up with the book topic, and then search this site (using the search section at the bottom) or browse the archives<\/a> for appropriate content. Once you have found 30,000 – 60,000 words, you compile, arrange, edit, and prepare the book for publication.<\/p>\n

Both our names will go on the cover for the book, and I will share any royalty income with you for our jointly-published book.<\/p>\n

If this is something you want to do, please contact me<\/a> before you begin for approval and more detailed instructions.<\/p>\n

Buy my Books<\/h2>\n

\"Books<\/a>Buying my books on Amazon<\/a> is a great way to simultaneously encourage me and financially support my work on this site.<\/p>\n

Many of my books are available in paperback, and so even if you have already read my books, you can purchase them to give away to others. In this way, you are an encouragement to me and to others!<\/p>\n

I regularly receive emails from people all over the world who have read one or two of my books and in so doing, have been introduced for the very first time<\/em> to the truth that God loves them, forgives them, and wants to have a relationship with them. If you buy, read, and give away my books, you help spread the message of God’s free grace, limitless love, and how we can follow Jesus in freedom without the bonds of religion.<\/p>\n

\"buy<\/p>\n

Invite me to Join You<\/h2>\n

While my books, articles, and audio resources are designed to encourage and help equip you to love God and love others, there is often no substitute for a face-to-face relationship. So I also want to partner with you in any way I can in your home town or neighborhood.<\/p>\n

Maybe you have a ministry to homeless people, or prostitutes, or orphans, or single mothers, or business executives, or sports professionals, and want to invite me along for a day or week of loving others like Jesus. Maybe you are learning to love your neighbors and want to invite me to a block party or dinner gathering. No matter what you do, I would love to join you.<\/p>\n

If you want to set aside some time to have conversations about following Jesus, escaping religion, understanding Scripture, or loving others, I am open to that as well.<\/p>\n

I am also open to something more formal, where you invite me to share a couple evenings or a weekend with a specific gathering of people talking about the love of God and how to find freedom from the shackles of religion. There are millions of people all over the world who have become disillusioned with organized religion, but are still passionate for God, and many of them don’t know where to turn or what to do next, or even if they are “allowed” to follow Jesus outside or organized religion.<\/p>\n

No matter what the setting is, or how large or small the group, I always enjoy spending a few days with people, hanging out in someone’s home and seeing what God will do to help people learn to follow God in greater freedom and simplicity.<\/p>\n

To invite me to join you in your town, contact me<\/a> through my about page.<\/p>\n

If you would like to help financially<\/h2>\n

Almost everything I do through RedeemingGod.com, I do at no charge. I give away\u00a0eBooks and audio teachings, and there is no charge for me to travel and share life with people. I believe God has blessed me with certain talents and insights which are a blessing to others, and I want to make these things available to others even if they cannot afford them.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"giveAs you might imagine, there is great costs involved in everything we do. And while we do sell books on Amazon and put advertising on this site to help cover expenses, the income we receive from such revenue streams never covers all the costs involved<\/a>. You can also become a Patron us on Patreon<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Some who benefit from the resources and teachings we provide occasionally bless us with financial gifts to help cover some of these expenses.<\/p>\n

Please know that\u00a0we don’t want you to feel any kind of guilt or compulsion to give to this work. This page is simply to keep people informed who feel they might want to help out. Also, please don’t feel that your gift has to be large to count. God provides for us in lots of different ways.<\/p>\n
