Embark is a post-JOG experience designed to help answer the “what’s next?”
question. Like a Journey of Generosity, Embark uses stories, readings, and
discussion to prompt reflection, but takes it a level deeper. We hope Embark
gives you a vision with practical applications for what the joy of
generosity can look like in your life.
what to expect
Who Typically, a group of 4-12 friends and peers invited by a host,
but Embark can also be experienced individually or as a couple.
Where While every Embark experience is different, usually they are
held in a home as a five-session experience across several weeks. It can
also be held as an overnight in a hotel or bed & breakfast.
What We hope the video stories, scriptures, and group discussion
help you develop a personal generosity roadmap. We don’t pretend to know
the answers, but instead simply want to spark the right conversations!
Is it worth my time?
So often what keeps us from giving is the inability to articulate where
our passions lie—so we give a little here and a little there, not having
truly thought deeply and systematically about our philosophy for giving.
Embark helps you discover a vision for what the generous life could look
like for you!
We seldom have time to reflect on how God’s unique gifting of resources,
influence, and passions correlate to our giving.
