Dr. Jason Dimitry has written an exciting sequel to COPS called Preachers Academy – Homiletics Handbook. Since God’s call for every disciple is to preach the Word, this book then is not just for those in or bound for the full-time ministry but for every brother and sister wanting to grow in their power and effectiveness handling the God’s eternal Word.

Jason expounds in this preaching handbook about how we all need faith to enter, mature, and remain in the Kingdom of God and that faith comes from hearing the Word . . . but only if it is PREACHED! Dr. Dimitry lays out a practical framework of how to equip every disciple and the next generation of preachers to evangelize the nations in our generation!

Here is one of my many favorite quotes – all of which will convict and inspire those who choose to read this book:

We call every disciple of Christ to have deep convictions on sound doctrine, such as centralized leadership, the mandate for world evangelism, structure of discipleship, commitment to the worship services, financial sacrifice, etc. There can be no revolution of truth without revolutionaries willing to stand up for it! Let us preach in such a way that calls our people to take the very same stand!

Happy SOPI-reading and confident preaching in the Year of Blessings!

Greetings, SoldOut Movement Family!

Dr. Joe Garmon has given us an insightful and comprehensive “guide” for disciples to better understand mental illness and positive mental health from a godly point of view. Set Free will undoubtedly build confidence in our disciples’ ability to navigate their own life challenges and/or support others persevering through the obstacles that mental health challenges can be to their discipleship!

With over 20 years of unique experience as a licensed psychologist AND evangelist, Dr. Garmon has packed this book full of spiritual wisdom and clinical insight! It is hard to pick out just one passage to capture how helpful this book can be to our ministries, but here goes!

“Good mental health, just like good physical health, has value in that it can allow us to become more effective and fruitful in our spiritual lives. Mental health cannot give us a relationship with God, forgiveness of sin, or give us a home in heaven. Only God’s Word can lead us to these. Like physical health, mental health is of “some value,” (1 Timothy 4:8) but only godliness has eternal value.

One can have good mental health and not be in a relationship with God. Being psychologically healthy can help deal with some of the distress that mental illnesses bring, but without God’s saving grace, one can still be in a lost state. It can help us to be more fruitful and joyful as disciples, but it cannot make disciples – only God through His Holy Spirit can make the harvest grow. However, it is very difficult to be spiritually mature if we are not emotionally mature.”

I know as a shepherd – called by God to strengthen and mature the sheep – Set Free will be ON MY DESK as an ongoing resource to build up God’s church! Our ICC Family of Churches has needed this kind of book to help us navigate through so many of Satan’s attacks on people’s capacity to find peace of mind and stay in their right mind! Thank you, Dr. Garmon for delivering such a precious teaching at just the right time!

It is with fervent anticipation that we release the collection of Kip’s three ground-breaking, disciple-gathering “Revolution Through Restoration” articles as a complete book! This will be an incredible aid to helping the remnant and young disciples alike, who are “attaining to the resurrection from the dead”! (Philippians 3:11)

In the words of our esteemed ICC Movement Historian, Ron Harding:

Dr. Thomas Wayne (Kip) McKean II is a world-renowned preacher, missionary, reformer, theologian, and humanitarian. He was born in Indianapolis, Indiana on May 31, 1954, to Dr. Thomas W. and “Kim” McKean, while his father was away on “sea duty.” Through the years, his beloved father rose to the rank of Admiral and became the Inspector General of the United States Navy Medical and Dental Corps.

Kip was baptized as a 17-year-old freshman on April 11, 1972, at the University of Florida through the efforts of the 14th Street Church of Christ. He has been happily married to Dr. Elena Garcia-Bengochea since December 11, 1976. Kip initially wrote and published the ground-breaking personal Bible study series entitled First Principles in 1980, which the Spirit used to propel the then fledgling Boston Movement – renamed in 1993 the International Churches of Christ (ICOC) – into 171 nations by 2001. Kip’s godly and compassionate

vision for the evangelization of the nations in a generation was propelled by his revolutionary theological stance of SAVED = CHRISTIAN = DISCIPLE that continues to impact the world.

Fast forward to the 21st Century and having to “start over,” God carried Kip and Elena to Portland, Oregon (2003) which led to the Spirit creating the SoldOut Discipling Movement (2006), more widely known as the International Christian Churches (ICC)! In 2007, Kip led 42 Portland Disciples to plant in Los Angeles the City of Angels ICC. The ICC has spread into 66 nations and counting in the ensuing years. God’s hand also powerfully guided Kip to found MERCYworldwide – the benevolent arm of the ICC (2009), the International College of Christian Ministries (2012), the SoldOut Press International Publishing House (2016), the McKean Scholarship Foundation (2020), the video-based Good News Network (2020), and The Jesus Study Series (2023)!

Collected in this book are Kip’s three Revolution Through Restoration Articles detailing first-hand the miracles, the heroics, and setbacks that led to the Spirit creating the Boston (ICOC) Movement, and in time, the Portland (ICC) Movement. As Kip wrote for years at the conclusion of every weekly Good News Email to encourage his ICC Family, “And to God be all the glory!”

Blessed reading and first-century Christianity restoring!

The author emphatically states, “It will be impossible for you to truly become pure until you accept and embrace how valuable you are to God.” This line, perhaps my favorite, captures the essence of Ricky’s conviction that we must live up to who we are by God’s grace, being pure and not “doing purity.” As a shepherd in God’s Kingdom, I am convinced this book will help disciples overcome the devil’s age-old scheme of AI – Artificial Identity – by heightening their awareness of God’s eternal embrace so they can tighten their grip on Him and be holy as He is holy!

Of note, Dr. Challinor will humbly share with any who will listen that he learned many of these enduring convictions about purity when he was discipled by Dr. Raul Moreno in Orange County, California. The secret to the power of this book is how he made them his OWN and built upon them and is now effectively training others to do the same in their lives: Disciples making disciples!

What a glory to God that Ricky has imitated his father in the faith, Raul, and wrote so powerfully about purity of the heart. Not a Hint will equip you to do the same and write the scriptures first on your own heart and the hearts of many others!

Excitingly, this is the first SOPI title that we are releasing on Audible so you can literally have a digital Dtime with Ricky, listening to him narrate the book! Below you’ll find links to purchase the Audible version, as well as the color, Black & White, and Kindle versions!

With great joy and anticipation the SOPI Staff would like to announce Dr. Matt Sullivan’s new book, entitled He Stoops Down To Make Me Great: The Mandate, Necessity, and Power of Prayer! There really is no other book like it because Matt is compelled to share how and why his prayer life radically changed even after decades of prayer as a faithful disciple!

Matt artfully and powerfully calls us UP to the standard of greatness in our intimacy with our perfect heavenly Father, by leading us to bow down to see the reality of how far He has traveled to MAKE US GREAT!

Hinging on one simple verse, Psalm 18:35, Matt unleashes the spirit of the whole Bible in insisting that we unlock the power God wants to equip us with to do the job that He knows we can do: To evangelize all nations in our generation!

Psalms 18:35

You give me your shield of victory,
and your right hand sustains me;
you stoop down to make me great.

Matt urges us from the very first page of the Preface,

“My hypothesis is that prayer bridges the gap and that God Himself will stoop down to make you great! This is not a subtle call to some “extra prayer” to add a few things while you pray, or to increase intensity. This is a call to fully revolutionize your relationship with God!”

What an incredible tool Dr. Sullivan has given us to help every disciple and would-be disciple escape the corruption of a world desperate for connection through a prayerful intimacy with God that births the greatest version of ourselves – that God could work His wonders through us!

Happy reading and praying, family!
