NEW FIRE is a movement of friends ignited by the Holy Spirit, dedicated to the resurrecting work of the Triune God within the local church, the United Methodist Church, and the Church universal. Inspired by the “new fire” that sparks the Easter Vigil, and symbolized in Methodism by the cross and flame, we believe now is the time for a fresh fire of renewal. Our mission is to lead the church to receive new and abundant life in Jesus Christ as we help each other learn and grow, publish transformative resources, and build vibrant community.

See how great a flame aspires,
kindled by a spark of grace.
Jesus’ love the nations fires,
sets the kingdoms on a blaze.
To bring fire on earth he came;
kindled in some hearts it is:
O that all might catch the flame,
All partake the glorious bliss!
Charles Wesley (1749)
Is your prayer life stuck?
Bold To Say shakes up traditional views and reveals the radical, even weird, power of the Lord’s Prayer. Dr. Geoffrey Lentz challenges readers to move beyond comfortable routines and embrace the revolutionary nature of this ancient prayer.
More than a simple recitation, it’s a call to surrender, transformation, and a bold encounter with a God who is both transcendent and intimately present.
Prepare to have your assumptions challenged and your faith ignited.
Project Nebo: Empowering the Generations is a bold and timely guide to navigating generational change in the church.
Drawing inspiration from Moses on Mount Nebo—where vision was cast and leadership was passed to a new generation—this book invites churches to embrace the adventure of intergenerational ministry with courage, clarity, and purpose.
Blending theological depth with the sociological insights of Strauss-Howe Generational Theory, the authors offer a compelling vision for how churches can transition leadership, renew congregational life, and foster dynamic partnerships across age groups. With the mountain trekking imagery of “Team Moses,” “Team Joshua,” and “Team Rahab,” Project Nebo maps out the terrain of generational leadership and equips each team to climb together toward a shared future.
More than just theory, Project Nebo is a practical toolkit for transformation. It challenges every generation to take its place in God’s ongoing story and build a church that thrives—not in spite of generational differences, but because of them.
Project Nebo guides churches through generational change, using biblical inspiration and sociological theory. It offers a practical toolkit for intergenerational ministry, aiming for a thriving church built on, not despite, age differences.
