Expansion League
We are exited to announce that staring this fall, the League of Believers (LoB) will be expanding its ministry content into new formats across multiple social media platforms, including written, audio, and video offerings on Substack, X (aka Twitter), and YouTube.
Here are some updates pertaining to these changes:
New domain name
You may have noticed that our previous LoB Substack subdomain (garrettpleague@substack.com) has been upgraded to its own independent domain name:
leagueofbelievers.org
Has a nice ring to it, don’t you think?
Among other benefits, a unique “.org” domain better reflects our ministry’s identity and paves the way for long-term growth and development. Since our new domain is still hosted on Substack, you will experience no changes in how you receive and consume our content, so no need to worry about your current subscription status or access to other features. And, if you mistakenly use our previous web address, you will simply be rerouted to the new one. A seamless transition if ever there was one.
Web design facelift
Our logos, web page layouts, and descriptions throughout our site and its associated social media accounts have been updated for a cleaner, more professional presentation.
Expanded content creation and social media engagement
Along with new offerings on Substack Notes, LoB will be increasing its engagement on X as well as expanding its content to YouTube. This will enable the dissemination of new written, audio, and video content, which you can expect to start seeing in the days and weeks to come.
The major goals of this content/media push are to: 1) reach new audiences who may prefer audio and/or video formats over text; and 2) increase our content engagement to foster a more robust two-way conversation.
New articles and eBooks
The core of our content will remain our written offerings from the main LoB publication and sections like Pen & Spear, which will fuel all audio, video, and additional offerings. We are phasing out the term “newsletter” in favor of “articles” that will appear as standalone pieces and series, including serial book chapter drafts for our eBooks, which will be featured more prominently on the site moving forward. You will continue to receive short- and long-form writings in the familiar email and document formats, only now they will include pertinent supplements such as audio transcripts and embedded videos.
Quadrupling down
Through the above initiatives we are not merely doubling down, but quadrupling down on the message of repentance from sin and obedient faith toward God, the very message Christ and the Apostles preached and in turn commanded us to preach (Matthew 28:20; Romans 1:5; 2 Thessalonians 1:8; 1 Peter 4:17; Jude 1:3).
What is distinctive about our ministry is that we aim this message of repentance and faith not at unbelievers, but at believers, members of the visible Church, particularly in America. Although our lives as Christians should be marked by ongoing repentance and ever-deepening faith displayed in our works, it should be obvious to even the most casual of observers that we are desperately deficient in both.
Rather than teetering on the cusp of revival, it is our contention that the American Church is teetering on the edge of judgment, like the nation we shaped in our idolatrous image.
To put it bluntly, we believe much of American Christianity is on life support. Though we are suffering from multiple terminal illnesses, we refuse the Great Physician’s diagnoses (Matthew 9:12; Mark 2:17; Luke 5:31),1 opting for interventions no more invasive than a Band-Aid (Jeremiah 6:13, 14):
“From the least to the greatest, all are greedy for gain; prophets and priests alike, all practice deceit. They dress the wound of my people as though it were not serious. ‘Peace, peace,’ they say, when there is no peace.”
Like Jesus, we offer the Church not a pretense of “peace,” but rather a sword—the sword of the Spirit (Matthew 10:34; Ephesians 6:17). With it, and through this humble ministry, may the Lord pierce our hard hearts and pour out His Spirit anew in these last days (Acts 2).
For the Church,
