Learn More

“… seek the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have carried you into exile. Pray to the Lord for it, because if it prospers, you too will prosper”

— Jeremiah 29:7

The j29 Coalition is a network of theologically conservative pastors seeking to disciple the American Evangelical church in kingdom-shaped politics.

WHAT WE DO

  • Host conferences, digital workshops, and in-person retreats for clergy, ministry leaders, and theologians.

  • Curate resources for clergy and congregations. 

  • Connect pastors with opportunities for care, coaching and connection.

Pastors need encouragement, support, and training on how to flourish during politically divisive times. J29 Cohort can help.

Pastoral ministry has been more challenging in recent years than ever before. As our civic life has deteriorated, pastors are one group that has been affected the most. Do you need a trusted group to help you navigate the difficulty of leading during this politically divisive time? Do you want to learn how to better disciple your congregation through these tumult? The J29 Cohort is for you! We’ve designed a 3-month cohort for working pastors that will provide encouragement, support, and a vision for your congregation's future as you navigate the choppy waters of 2026 and beyond.

 j29 Cohort FAQs

  • All pastors serving in congregations dealing with any level of political division or confusion are eligible to apply. J29 Cohort is open to women and men from all denominations, but our focus is on those who self-identify as theologically conservative and evangelical. Most of our presenters will come from conservative evangelical spaces.

  • The J29 Cohort is led by Pastor Caleb Campbell. Caleb is the Lead Pastor of Desert Springs Bible Church in Phoenix, Arizona and author of Disarming Leviathan: Loving Your Christian Nationalist Neighbor.

  • In our weekly cohort meetings, j29 coaches will present on topics related to leading well in this politically divided time. Through our coaching sessions, we aim to equip pastors to:

    • Recognize political idolatry and articulate why it is a kingdom problem;

    • Shepherd their communities with curiosity rather than judgment; and

    • Cultivate a Christian vision of citizenship and identify practices that form kingdom-shaped political engagement.

  • We will limit the entire cohort to 25 participants. Space is limited, so register here to claim your spot.

    Each cohort participant will be placed in a small group of about 5 people to process key ideas and teachings throughout the experience.

  • The J29 Coalition is about equipping you to lead your congregation with courage, resiliency, and faithfulness. We want to invest in pastors because you invest in your people weekly. We’re here to serve you so you can better serve your congregation.
