Letter from Banning

As many of you may have already heard, Jesus Culture is moving to the Sacramento area! This news was formally announced at our local church Bethel a few weeks ago. (link to the video of Sunday morning announcement)

When we originally announced that Bethel was sending us to Sacramento, we were purposefully vague in some of the details. The purpose of this letter is to begin to fill in details and answer any questions you may have as well as continue to share our heart about the move. Many people have had questions about our move and while we don’t have all of the answers yet, we will begin to fill in details as they develop and unfold by posting regular updates.

We have been so encouraged by all

Check out this letter from the local pastor of Bethel Redding, Eric Johnson, about the Inspire Conference happening in Redding, CA this summer. It's going to be an amazing gathering for young leaders:

Leaders,

I am very excited for INSPIRE and what God is going to do in this time. This is a gathering for leaders in their 20's and 30's that want to be inspired, developed and desire to influence the world with the Kingdom. Whether you're a pastor, business owner, professional athlete, teacher, lawyer or in any other profession, this gathering is for you. We will be pursuing God together as well as taking time to help develop you as leaders and create a place where relationships can be forged. 

We will have 6 leadership sessions during the day that are a half-hour in length where key leadership principles will be taught. The speakers we have lined up for this time are each unique and diverse in how they do life and leadership. Following these leadership sessions will be a half-hour small group time that will help you to understand, apply and assimilate what was taught into your life and leadership. Each small group will have one of our leaders from Bethel that will be helping to facilitate these small groups.

Our heart is to create a place where there is lots of interaction and we can engage with each

In March, Kim Walker-Smight will be hitting the west coast for an album release tour! The Still Believe Tour runs March 8th - March 17th in various cities along the western U.S. Each night is an evening of worship featuring Derek Johnson as a guest worship leader and then Kim will be sharing her heart and leading an evening of worship with songs from her new album.

Have you ever dreamed about seeing your whole campus or city transformed? For 21 days, we are going to introduce you to 21 revivalists who impacted students, schools, and the world in dramatic ways. God uses ordinary people to bring about incredible encounters and outpourings of His Spirit.

For years all over the world, radical believers founded universities in order to raise up Spirit-filled leaders and see the Kingdom of God continue for future generations. At one point in time, Ivy League schools like Harvard and Princeton trained their students to become ministers and world-class leaders both in society and the Church. Faith in God was once the normal response to the world’s most difficult questions, and universities pointed people to His higher truth as the best answer. God used schools this way in the past—He can do it again.

Start with Day 1:

"My conscious is captive to the Word of God."

— Martin Luther

Martin Luther lived in a society much like the one we live in today—it was resistant to truth, and answers to basic questions about God were being challenged. It was in this culture that Luther took a stand for the truth of God’s freedom.

Luther believed that all people had the right and privilege to read and interpret the Word of God for themselves, in their own languages. He translated the Bible into the native language of

Hey friends,

Becky Johnson here. Christmas is in full swing at the Jesus Culture offices and we are happily bouncing around with tons of Christmas cheer. Well, maybe I'm the only one but still... At staff meeting today (which happens every glorious Tuesday) we went around and asked everyone what their favorite Christmas movie is.
