The Grammar of Grace
Part 2 of the series When the Lights Go Out explores the impact when the Gospel is not preached.
The Coming Crisis
Something is quietly happening to the pastoral leadership of the church in North America — the aging out, the burnout, the emptying pulpits, the communities that are losing something they don't yet know how to name. PreachFor’s Trygve Johnson describes how the coming pastor shortage is not just an institutional problem. It is a human one. A spiritual one. A civilizational one. Part 1 of the series When the Lights Go Out describes how the numbers are real, the consequences are larger than most people know, and the window for responding is open — but not indefinitely.

Conversations with Gen Z
PreachFor Foundation Executive Director, Trygve Johnson, has spent many hours in conversation with prospective candidates for the PreachFor America Fellowship. These interviews have been among the most meaningful parts of his work this season. They have been thoughtful, honest, hopeful, and—perhaps most surprisingly—deeply encouraging. Three consistent themes have emerged and together, they reveal not only the longings and interests of Gen Z, but also why the mission of the PreachFor Foundation matters so deeply in this moment.
A Firm Foundation
PreachFor Foundation Executive Director, Trygve Johnson, observes milestones achieved in his first year at PreachFor, announces nominations for the first cohort of the PreachFor America Fellowship, and ponders what it looks like to cultivate exceptional emerging leaders who can help the Church flourish in a complex and challenging age.
Candidates in the Queue
What makes an outstanding PreachFor America Fellow? The success of the Fellowships hinge in part on high-caliber and proven candidates who demonstrate a heart for God and the Church, exceptional leadership capacity, as well as the three Cs - character, competence and chemistry.
