“God refines leaders through opportunity.”

Bee Readers, Can we call you that? Okay, good. A lot has happened these last few weeks! Our team did a 7 city tour in Brazil, a new podcast is available, our weekly sermon from JC Sacramento is up, and we announced a new artist coming to the music label. See!? There's so much to catch you up on. Brasil/Brazil Recap Brazil was such an incredible trip from our team. The passion and hunger for Jesus there was remarkable. Banning and the JC band were so humbled by the people they encountered who we...

It's been a while and for that, we are sorry. The Jesus Culture Bee was on a slight hiatus but we're back with more news than ever. We wish we could bring you into our office so you could see the constant buzz of activity going on here (and of course, give you a cup of coffee). It is quite amazing to see such a dedicated group of people work so passionately in everything they do whether it's a small or big task with the bigger purpose in mind of seeing God's Kingdom made known in the earth.

Shoes. Pretty much a necessity in western civilized culture. So even if you're not a “shoe” person, you technically still are a “shoe” person. Do you endure uncomfortable shoes for the sake of fashion or are you all about the practicality of a comfy fit? Do you have closets stuffed with every kind of shoe imaginable or do you have solid pair you plan to sport until the soles wear thin? Sneakers or loafers? Flip flops or strappy sandals? Heels or wedges? The possibilities are endless! Per...

I grew up in a small rural town in the northern part of Indiana. Visions of cornfields sprawling the expanse of a horizon unobstructed by skyscrapers and buildings were a normality for me. Going into the city was an event. It was a big deal! We would hop on the train to Chicago and anticipation would fill my little heart as we neared the skyline. The air would turn from clear to gritty as we approached the city limits. I was always surprised the mass of people I encountered stepping out of the ...

I am a physical book reader. If you're a listener of the Jesus Culture Leadership Podcast, then you know that I am such an avid fan of keeping physical books alive that I am in a constant duel with Banning Liebscher over e-readers. He has Banning's Book Club where e-reader lovers unite and I stand strong with Becky's Book Nook where those that believe in keeping with the paper version of books alive join our forces. Don't you love the smell of a book? The feel of the crisp pages turning in your ...
