Equipping the Saints — Post Tenebras Lux, Ephesians 4:12

Equipping the saints for the work of ministry.

We exist to serve the church, not stand apart from it — recovering a full Christian vision for life, training believers to think and live faithfully, and cultivating a culture worthy of the gospel, alongside the many faithful ministries already at work.

See the Conference Read the Vision

The Vision

Our aim is the recovery and further development of a full Christian philosophy of life — one able to answer what is real, how we know it, and how we are meant to live. We pursue that through goodness, truth, and beauty, convinced that beauty is a gateway to truth, letting those ideals shape everything from our worship to our hospitality.

Metaphysics

What is the nature of reality?

Epistemology

How do we know what we know?

Ethics

How should we then live?

We are pursuing a decidedly masculine tone and temperament, convinced that the need of the hour is the recovery of biblical masculinity — where godly men lead, women follow. Biblical masculinity is attractive, and equipping men well has the beneficial effect of drawing in the right kind of women too.

None of that diminishes the soft and feminine things. We are deeply grateful for the women in our lives, who bless us in manifold ways — through their gifts and love, in bearing and raising our children, in adorning our homes, and in simply being a genuine encouragement when the bullets are flying.

The Work

Education is the work today. Gathering places are the hope ahead. Prayer holds up both.

The work today

Education

Conferences, teaching, and writing built to train the mind and recover a full Christian vision for life — theology, culture, family, and civilization — so that believers can think and live faithfully.

The hope ahead

Third Spaces

Coffee houses, pubs, taverns, and bookstores — gathering places where conversation, hospitality, and good teaching can live, and that help sustain the work.

Undergirding it all

Spiritual Warfare

Every part of this work rests on the deliberate, budgeted practice of individual and corporate prayer and fasting — defensive and offensive.

Sponsors & Investors

Equipping the Saints is built to fund itself over time — conferences, content, and the "Third Spaces" of coffee houses, pubs, taverns, and bookstores we're working to open as gathering places that also generate revenue for the work ahead. There are two different ways to back that vision.

Investment

We're finalizing how outside investment in the Third Spaces ventures will work with legal counsel before opening this to the public. Let us know you're interested and we'll follow up once it's ready.
