Request for Help
Dear Friends,
This is a special edition of the newsletter (I don’t typically send one out on Monday. Thursday is the designated time.)
Not long ago, I received a comment from a brother in Christ in his 30s. He wrote,
“I’ve been listening to your podcasts, reading your articles, and consuming your YouTube videos and my mind is blown. I’ve never heard of you or your work before, but someone I know strongly recommended I check out the YouTube channel. My life is changing. I want more people my age to hear about you and your work so I’ll be spreading the word. Thank you for the value you consistently provide every week.”
Emails like this are not uncommon, thankfully. While my work is for ALL seeking Christians of ANY age who want more of the Lord, my ministry is strongly resonating with 20s and 30s. That includes pastors and other leaders.
However, unlike my peers who have built enormous platforms by paying obscene amounts of money in advertisements (“not that there’s anything wrong with that,” to quote Seinfeld), I chose not to pay for ads and promotions.
Instead, I rely on you — those of you who are gaining value from my work — to spread the word, especially to the future of the deeper journey and the Insurgence.
Namely, Christians in their 20s and 30s. They are the future.
Therefore, my request for help is very simple.
If you are in your 20s and 30s, please share the YouTube channel and the videos that have impacted you with your peers. You can find it (and all the videos) at youtube.com/@FrankViolaAuthor
“Liking” the videos and subscribing to the channel also helps others find them. (Again, we don’t pay for ads.)
Those of you who are older, please share the YouTube channel (above) with the Christians in their 20s and 30s you know — whether friends, relatives, co-workers, etc. Encourage them to check it out, and enthusiastically share specific videos with them that have helped you.
The most popular are the conference messages, podcast episodes, and interviews.
Finally, some of you kindly asked how you can help us spread my upcoming book to Bible colleges and seminaries.
The book is my most ambitious project to date. I’ve worked on it steadily for 3 years without missing a day (with few exceptions). I’ve also been researching the topic, which affects every Christian, since 1998.
One first-rate scholar who is 89 years old and who has written a plethora of some of the most esteemed volumes on the New Testament told me, “I don’t know how you did this. It’s a great achievement that was humbling to read. It was a privilege and an honor to review.”
This meant the world to me as well as surprised me, given his stature. (You will see his endorsement in the future.)
The book is still slated to release March 2025.
You can find out how to help and also how to receive signed copies of the first printing (which is always the most valuable) by going to frankviola.org/uts.
We continue to receive endorsements by scholars and New Testament experts, and currently, we are up to 19 endorsements. Once the book is ready to release, all the endorsements will appear on the same page (above).
I’m happy and humbled that many of the world’s greatest scholars have written blurbs.
Thanks so much for your help and support.
You will receive a fresh new article on the spiritual life this coming Thursday. You don’t want to miss it.
Your brother in the deeper journey,
fv
