Meet the Team

An Exciting Experiment in Jesus-Led, Joy-Fueled Organization

Every time our leadership or operational teams gather, we function not only as colleagues, but as extended spiritual family, checking in from the heart and listening to Jesus. Our organization is experimental in nature, attempting to be primarily “flat” in hierarchy and to let Jesus lead through a process that is highly participatory and trusting of each other and of Jesus.

John is passionate about nurturing a self-propagating revolution of joy by seeing a vibrant family of Jesus in easy reach of everyone on earth.

Dr. Kent Smith

Co-founder, Ecosystem Champion

Kent’s passion is to live in and for God’s joy while doing his part–no more and no less–to see a vibrant family of Jesus in close reach of everyone. In a lifetime of teaching and service, Kent has seen that vibrancy–the life of God in community–flourishes when the gift of each person is known and nourished in a maturing ecosystem of grace.
