P.S. Are You Coming to the New Room Conference?

I’d love to see you at the New Room Conference, coming up next month on Sept 30–Oct 2 in Montgomery, Alabama, at Frazer Church. New Room is always an inspiring, refreshing gathering where we get to connect with fellow sowers. It is a meeting with Jesus, where we are equipped, empowered, and sent out to sow for a great awakening.

This episode focuses on the idea that Jesus modeled deep, life-giving community by having an inner circle—Peter, James, and John—and that we, too, are made for that kind of belonging. Using the Transfiguration as the central example, Mark Benjamin argues that we need to be known and loved not just in our strengths, but also in our struggles, and that healing often begins when we risk letting a few trusted people in.

The message then turns practical with the concept of a “band,” a small group that meets weekly for honest questions, prayer, and mutual support. It also explores the difference between public, social, personal, and intimate belonging, encouraging listeners to build intentional relationships that can help carry shame, foster growth, and deepen their walk with God.
