Honor Jesus. Honor One Another. Live in Freedom.

PURPOSE | JESUS | FREEDOM
A community of Christ-followers who are discovering freedom in faith apart from church buildings and paid staff. A community committed to individual callings, supporting one another, and acting in courage to represent Christ well.
​
A pursuit of freedom and independence - When Jesus showed up, He changed everything. He came to reveal the heart of God. He left us to represent that heart to the world around us. We are here to remove the walls and barriers between you and Jesus. Not the Jesus of our own making, but the True God as revealed in Jesus. Let's move beyond bitterness, hurt, and pain to freedom, joy, and peace. Let's be the leaders in developing Christ-honoring communities with those around us that love Jesus.
​
We're committed to humility, service, and equipping the saints for love and good works. We believe deeply that Christ has individual callings for every one of our lives...let's put that belief into action.

The questions...are thought provoking and don't allow me to just sit in my current beliefs, but reflect on how I got here." - Michele
"After a lifetime of going to church and feeling guilty for all the ways that I didn't measure up, for the first time in my life I can say...and really mean it...'God is good.' There is so much freedom here." - Madison

ABOUT US
What happens when a people-pleasing, genuine lover of Jesus marries an independent, hyper-driven, lover of Jesus with keen discernment?
​
Be A Hammer
​
Though Jacob founded "Be a Hammer", it is so much more than him. It is the collective conversations of hundreds of ministry professionals. Its thousands of hours of study and prayer. It's the encouragement of teams, individuals, and the Spirit. It's the sure knowledge that though people are fleeing from churches, God's Kingdom cannot stop advancing. It's the absolute belief that we will each individually stand before Jesus and be asked whether we did what He asked us to do.
​
Its the courage to reject much of our experiences and expectations in order to let God re-write our understanding of Himself, His heart, and His desire for our lives individually and His Kingdom collectively.
​
As Paul reminds us..."For no one can lay a foundation other than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Let each one take care how he builds upon it" (1 Corinthians 3:10-11).
