One of the things I always wondered about was whether I could prepare sermons every week-it was one of my greatest concerns about pastoring a church. But God knows my heart and understands my weaknesses, and He has used this season with Trexo to teach me how to prepare sermons and to show me that I would be ready. Praise the Lord, Pastor Joel has been instrumental in helping Bea and me prepare for this responsibility. I have learned so much about preaching and shepherding a church. We are also deeply thankful to City Rise Church for graciously making Trexo’s services available to us.

Trexo has been a game-changer for Misfits Mission, bringing much-needed clarity and structure to our ministry. Their guidance has helped us streamline our processes, making our mission to rescue and restore women to a new song, more effective than ever. With Trexo’s support, we’ve gained a clear vision of how to operate and grow, which has been instrumental in furthering the impact we can have in the Kingdom! 

We have been walking a very intentional journey with Jim and the Trexo team. Not only a journey of asking questions, but allowing God to speak through Jim, his discernment and wisdom to help us ask pivotal questions that are helping us as an organization to move into a new season. It hasn’t been easy, but it has been worth it. If you can relate to this, then I invite you to lean in and ask questions with Jim. I have no doubt you will find a new fire that will help you lead with confidence and focus on God our Father as we journey this life together.

Jim Stern has radically changed the men’s discipleship program at CityRise — West University Baptist Church.  We have seen it transform from a program or an event into a way of life.  He has opened the eyes and hearts of our men to see discipleship is for all believers, for all their life, in every level of their spiritual journey!  He has unlocked what it means to “Be” a disciple and then trained and empowered them to “Go” and “Make” disciples. 

The Way of Rest training was life–changing for me! It has me evaluating the manner in which I minister to women.  The simplicity of the training takes the guesswork and intimidation out of individual discipleship. The realization that everyone’s greatest need is to be loved and heard, frees me up to listen and love!  Jim and Kate’s Christ–centered teaching was invaluable to our group and the feedback from the participants has been excellent.
