People often ask what we’ve done to help so many young adults grow into vibrant faith and Kingdom leadership. They’re usually hoping for a strategy—something they can implement and reproduce. But lasting fruit grows out of intentional, relational investment. We call this Spiritual Parenting.
Becoming Disciples
Being a disciple of Jesus is a life-long journey of deepening intimacy with God.
Strengthen your personal journey through these reflections and practices.
What if the health of our roots is determined less by what people see and more by what we're willing to bring into the light?
In “The Health of Our Roots” (Called Beyond — S3 Ep6), Tim connects with longtime Novo missionaries Steve Hoke and Myra Perrine to explore Jeremiah 17:7–8 and the hidden work of spiritual formation. Through stories of hardship, healing, vulnerability, and trust, Steve and Myra reflect on how God develops deep roots through authentic relationships.
There are moments in life when obedience to God collides directly with the future we imagined for ourselves. For Will Jones, that collision happened just as his basketball career was beginning to open doors he had spent years working toward.
After years of intense discipline and training, Will found himself playing professional basketball in Europe. The trajectory of his life seemed clear. And then God interrupted it.

This ancient spiritual life rhythm is making a come-back and pointing the way to a healthy, holistic, and impactful ministry.
Novo in Action
God is on the move, and we are seeing him at work around the world.
Be inspired by these stories of redemption.
Imagine traveling to over 50 nations and taking hundreds of believers overseas every year to experience God at work, but not having a relationship with a single person in your own city to pray for. That was John Gash’s story.
Berlin, a post-Christian city known for partying and sex clubs, is a difficult place to follow Jesus. And yet, Jesus is on the move and the light of Christ is breaking through in surprising ways.
Marie—a Child Life Specialist—felt the weight of darkness and disunity in her hospital unit. She began using the prayer tools she learned from Novo at work and saw God move in surprising ways, including God bringing a prayer team together on her unit and miraculous healings.
Have you ever found yourself struggling with serious doubts and frustrations in ministry? This bonus content from the Called Beyond Podcast features a segment of the conversation we had with Novo missionaries Stu and Sara Sutherland about a space and time where they were ready to call it quits.
