Resources for local bodies.
As a writer and wife to a pastor, Ashley loves when her work builds up local bodies of Christian believers to live out their calling to discipleship and evangelism.
Below you’ll find resources for your church, both general content and content from Ashley’s books. You can also request Ashley to speak to your group.
Preaching through Finding Holy in the Suburbs
To help your people see how the idols of their place need repenting from, and how to live on mission in their neighborhood, consider:
- Using the 4-week Ministry Pass sermon series (available for Ministry Pass subscribers).
- Working with Ashley to create curriculum for your church size and specific context.
- Using the free leader’s guide (below) to complement your sermon series for small groups.
Small group material and individual study
Ashley has developed a free leaders’ guide for Finding Holy in the Suburbs for your fall or spring semesters. It combines the content of the book with a small-group hospitality challenge. If you’re interested in using it for a small group, Bible study, or men’s or women’s group, contact Ashley for free access.
There is a free 5-day YouVersion Bible study plan around rest, a theme in A Spacious Life.
A Fruitful Life, a Bible study on the Sermon on the Mount, is written for exactly this use. About the study.
Speaking at your church
Ashley loves developing her ideas in the context of the local church. Invite her to be a part of yours:
- Lead a workshop, adult Sunday School class, or be interviewed in the service to kick off a sermon series.
- Speak at your women’s retreat on the story of the gospel and missional discipleship.
- Walk your staff and leaders through building resilient disciples — also available with her pastor husband, Bryce Hales, to develop a missional bootcamp for you.
- Lead a one-time event for men or women on hospitality, living in your limits, or discipleship and evangelism.
Virtual workshops
Ashley has taught workshops on cultural analysis and the church and rhythms of hospitality, and meets with book clubs or provides virtual teaching over Zoom.
- A church development seminar for your staff or denominational group on hospitality, building kingdom disciples, or church messaging and branding (also available with Bryce Hales).
- The Cartographers podcast for virtual learning on the go — you could host a live recording, too.
- A virtual meeting with your group before a live event, or a Zoom book club for a small group.
- Whatever else you dream up.
Bulk orders and partnership
If Ashley comes and speaks at your church, her publisher, InterVarsity Press, is able to offer a discount on bulk purchases of her books — both Finding Holy in the Suburbs and A Spacious Life.
