Churches that are laser-focused on these five commitments tend to experience a continuous cycle of healthy church growth, while churches that allow the urgency of the moment to distract them from these commitments tend to experience decline. Thom and Sam discuss the new book, Crucial Commitments.

Upward Running – Faith in Motion
Last year, Upward Sports introduced Upward Running, giving adults a way to engage in sports ministry. Now, they are launching the brand-new Faith in Motion series through Upward Running, a 12-week journey of fitness and faith. This experience is truly for every level of fitness! Whether someone has never run before… prefers to walk… is getting back into fitness… or already loves being active, this program will meet them right where they are!
This kit focuses on The Women of the New Testament, connecting Scripture to everyday life in a practical and encouraging way. It’s an opportunity to grow in faith, build unity, and cultivate intentional discipleship, whether individually or within your church’s women’s ministry.
You will want a Faith in Motion 12-Week Kit which includes a T-shirt, a 12-week devotional journal to write in, and an exclusive promo code to the Run Club App (however, no membership is required). The perfect companion to your 12-week journey. This is a structured, meaningful way for women in your church to grow physically and spiritually, side by side. If you have a women’s ministry leader looking for a fresh way to engage and inspire women, this could be the perfect next step.
