Understanding Our Role
A farmer understands his role in the growth process. If he or she does not plant seeds they will not reap a very big harvest. There might be a few seeds of the chosen variety that will naturally grow, but without the farmer playing a part, the harvest will be limited. If the farm does not work the ground to remove

Discipleship
Why don’t Christians automatically begin to look like Jesus?
As a young believer I heard a lot about grace and I thought that meant our growth should be automatic. I noticed so many people who said they were followers of Jesus, but looked nothing like Jesus. I set out to find out how people grow to become like Christ? How have people in the past shaped a character like Jesus. I’m a visual learner, so I have developed some illustrations to help make spiritual disciplines and their process of change understandable.

Wow, I really can’t believe how powerful the WordPress Site Editor is combined with Ollie. I don’t even need my page builder plugin anymore! Everything I need is built right in and ready for me at the beginning of every project.
Maryann Alpine
Product Designer
I love using WordPress but traditionally it has been hard to design in. Not any more! I can quickly build out page sections or full page designs with Ollie patterns. Saves me so much time!
Bill Glacier
Marketer
I create a lot of landing pages, and the Site Editor and Ollie have been huge for this. I can choose from a pre-designed landing page, customize my brand colors, and I’m ready to launch.
Erik Acadia
Video Producer
I was skeptical about all the changes going on in WordPress, but now that I’ve seen how powerful it can be, I’m convinced. Ollie made it super easy to get started with the “new” WordPress.

Build on WordPress
Disciplines take away the things that are filling our lives, yet leaving us empty.
We have so many things in our modern world that consume our time. So many things promise to change our lives, make us more comfortable, or leave us feeling satisfied. More friends or followers on social media. A new gadget to make life easier, faster, or more convenient. We are left still feeling disappointed. Like raiding the cookie jar before dinner. They fill us up with things that are empty and then we aren’t hungry to chase after what can really fill us and sustain our lives.
The WordPress Site Editor is a total game changer. It’s blazing fast and I don’t need a page builder anymore. 😍
