Ascending Together: The Heartbeat of Project Red

Endeavor. Ascent. These are two powerful words that shape our journey as we press on toward the calling God has placed on our lives. In mission work, leadership, and the pursuit of purpose, the road is not easy. It is a climb—one that requires endurance, preparation, adaptability, and, most importantly, community.

For the past 21 years, we have navigated the challenging terrain of ministry, facing obstacles that tested our strength and faith. Like ascending a mountain, our journey has demanded physical and spiritual endurance, a willingness to learn new skills, and the discernment to know when to change course. It has also underscored an essential truth: the climb is not meant to be undertaken alone.

Going this course alone can lead to burnout. But as Christians, we are called to community. We are called to uplift and equip one another, ensuring that we all have the strength to endure the ascent. As long-time fighters in the race to defend the most vulnerable, we want to extend this encouragement to you. No matter where you are on your journey, we want to help you run the race well and fulfill the calling God has placed on your life.

To do this, we created Project Red.

Introducing Project Red: More Than a Podcast

Project Red is not just a podcast—it is a message, a vision, and a call to action. Red symbolizes passion, strength, and love—the heartbeat of those who dedicate their lives to serving others. It represents boldness, action, and sacrifice, reminding us that true impact demands courage, perseverance, and unwavering faith.

This podcast is where purpose and perseverance collide, transforming God-given talents into powerful instruments of leadership, inspiration, and hope for a world in need. In each episode, we amplify the voices of changemakers, leaders, disciple-makers, and hope-givers who show what it truly means to live Red—boldly, faithfully, and purposefully.

Through their journeys—the struggles they’ve endured, the faith that sustains them, and the wisdom they’ve gained—we are reminded that it’s not just about igniting the flame but about keeping it burning. Whether you’re an artist shaping culture, a leader guiding others, an athlete pushing the limits, or someone seeking a deeper calling, Project Red is here to challenge, equip, and inspire you to walk boldly in purpose and make an eternal impact.

Leadership & the Ascent

In leadership, ascent signifies a continuous journey of growth, development, and rising to new levels of influence. It requires learning, self-awareness, and the ability to inspire and empower others. Yet, particularly in seasons of challenge, leaders must embrace an often counterintuitive principle: sometimes, slowing down is the key to true acceleration. To develop vision, build cohesive teams, and engage in meaningful impact, leaders must take the time to reflect, recalibrate, and stay attuned to the realities and opportunities before them.

As we launch Project Red, our hope is that you find motivation here—to keep fighting the good fight, to endure your own ascent, and to lead with faith and boldness. Join us for our first episode on Monday, April 7th, and let’s climb together.
