The Second Life of a Sermon
Humans forget 90% of what they hear within a week. The forgetting curve is real — and measurable. This is the mechanism behind every Multiply experience, and what makes it actually work.
Systems Architect · Community Storyteller · Advisor
Leaders carry the vision. I build and run the repeatable work that carries it out: weekly follow-through for churches, a neighborhood plan with owners and deadlines, and a project pathway for youth with finished work to show.
Most leaders do not have a vision problem. They have a follow-through problem. The plan lives in someone's head, the team is stretched, and the week takes over. I standardize the process that keeps work moving, and I leave the local voice, theology, and relationships exactly where they belong: with you.

The Gap
Stewardship is multiplication, not management.
Sunday's message fades by Wednesday. A neighborhood study sits in a folder while meetings produce ideas with no owner. A young person's big idea stalls halfway because no one built the path to finish it. In each case the people are willing. What is missing is a reliable system that runs every week.
After more than twenty years of leading across five sectors, I build that system, and I measure what moves. We standardize how the work runs. You keep what makes it yours.
Three Doors, One Promise
We manage the repeatable process your team currently assembles by hand, while the local decisions and relationships that make it meaningful stay yours.
Multiply · For Churches
Your team delivers the message. Multiply produces and sends the weekly pathway that helps people respond to it, then shows you who took the next step.
What your team owns: one named owner and a short launch.
See How Multiply Works →Community Playbook · For Neighborhoods
Neighborhood data and resident voices become a prioritized plan with owners, deadlines, and a regular review rhythm.
What your team owns: the neighborhood's priorities and final decisions.
See Your Neighborhood Clearly →Dream Chaser Kids · For Youth
A ready-to-run path from idea to finished project, with a portfolio showing what each student made and learned.
What your team owns: the students, the facilitator, and the setting.

For Churches · The Weekly Gap
Sunday is the most prepared moment of your week. Multiply keeps it working Monday through Saturday.
The breakdown is not a shortage of content. It is the recurring work of picking next steps, packaging them into midweek activities, sending reminders, supporting group leaders, and seeing who responded. Multiply produces and delivers that weekly pathway, built from your sermon, so your staff is not rebuilding it every Monday.

For Neighborhoods · The Planning Gap
Turn neighborhood knowledge into a plan, and a repeatable way to carry it out.
The breakdown happens between understanding and implementation. Information sits in separate reports and spreadsheets. Listening produces insight but no decision. Meetings produce ideas but no owner. Community Playbook™ gives you one workflow that moves from baseline to action.
For Youth · The Completion Gap
A ready-to-run pathway, with evidence of learning along the way.
Young people have ideas. The breakdown is the bridge between inspiration and completion: no clear milestones, facilitators inventing activities as they go, students stalling at different stages, and finished work that never gets documented. Dream Chaser Kids gives youth-serving organizations one pathway to run.
Three steps, one clear finish line: the work keeps running because your team owns the rhythm.
Bring two numbers: how many people you serve each week, and how many of them have a clear next step. The gap between them is what we work on.
You receive the one product that fits your breakdown, with a clear price and launch window. We do not pitch everything at once.
We deliver it and walk your team through it. Your team launches it in a few weeks with a named owner. Then it runs every week, and you can see what moved.
Field Notes

Humans forget 90% of what they hear within a week. The forgetting curve is real — and measurable. This is the mechanism behind every Multiply experience, and what makes it actually work.

American church strategy increasingly operates with two different logics. Why church growth and discipleship require different metrics, models, and theologies — and why the distinction matters for everything you build.

The 59 "one another" commands in the New Testament were addressed to the whole body — not clergy. How Multiply's infrastructure enables distributed, many-to-many pastoral care grounded in a real sermon and a real follow-up rhythm.
