Hi Reader,

A few weeks ago, I shared some encouraging attendance trends in my Friday newsletter:

• The most frequent church attenders are Gen Z (1.9x per month).
• Men are attending church at new levels.

And while it's not all encouraging (Why aren't older generations attending as frequently? Why are so many women drifting away from church?), there's A LOT to be more optimistic about than a few years ago.

Today, a few more trends that feel hopeful, and some practical advice on how to get ready.

Is your church ready for the next American revival?

This thoughtful piece from the team at VisitorReach is for pastors and church leaders who don’t want to miss the moment: How Pastors and Churches Can Prepare for a Quiet Revival Emerging Across America.

When you understand the signs of what’s unfolding, why many churches will miss it, and how yours can respond (not just with open doors, but with actual paths for real spiritual growth), you'll be in a much better position for what's to come.

Are you ready for revival?

How VisitorReach helps.

First steps often start online — in a late-night Google search, a podcast comment section, or a social media scroll. That’s why churches need more than open doors. They need to be visible where seekers are already looking.

That’s exactly where VisitorReach comes in. They help your church:

• Show up where seekers are searching: Put your church in front of people on Google, Facebook, and Instagram right when they’re asking spiritual questions.
• Start conversations before they arrive: Connect with seekers through texting and digital touchpoints — building trust before they even set foot in your building.
• Follow up with visitors personally and consistently: Create automated but thoughtful follow-up journeys, so no one slips through the cracks after visiting.
• Free your team to focus on relationships: Spend less time on administrative work, and more time discipling people instead of chasing contact info.

Schedule a demo

In a moment where public figures, like Joe Rogan, are openly exploring faith, there's a rising hunger for Scripture, and even mainstream media is noticing signals, your church must make sure every spiritual seeker has a pathway — from first question, to first visit, to first step of faith.

Cheering for you,

P.S. Here's how you and your church can prepare for a quiet revival emerging across America right now.
