I’ll delete you unless you say yes @ElonMusk @JDVance @realDonaldJTrump @StephenKing @JTWren @BillChrismer @NathanPollack You? Yes You Reading This Now
Dear [Name],
I have something important and personal I would like to share with you.
For some time now, I have been thinking, praying, reading, and writing about a simple idea that has become meaningful to me. I don’t know exactly where it will lead, and I am not asking you to agree with it or take on another responsibility. What I value most is your honest reaction.
Please read the one-page summary below. After you have read it, I would love to spend some time with you—just the two of us—to hear your thoughts. Then, if it feels right, I would like us all four to talk together. Then I’m going to send 5/week to my 300 best friends until I have 7 for our 1st group of 3x3x3.
I want to hear:
●What speaks to you?
●What concerns you?
●What am I missing?
●Is there something here worth exploring?
You are among the people whose judgment I value most. I trust you to tell me the truth with love.
More than anything, I want this to be a conversation among the people I love most.
With all my love,
Dad
The Fellowship Project
A Simple Invitation
Our world doesn’t need more noise, more arguments, or more complicated programs. It needs people who are willing to take the next faithful step.
The Fellowship Project is not an organization or a movement to join. It is an invitation to a way of life that begins with one simple question:
What is the next loving thing to do?
Not the perfect thing. Not everything. Just the next thing. Then do it.
At the end of the day, pause for a moment and reflect. What happened? What did I learn? Who helped me? Whom did I help? What is my next loving step?
This simple rhythm can be lived by anyone—people of faith, people who are searching, families, friends, workplaces, neighborhoods, and communities.
Its pattern is reflected in the four movements of the Eucharist:
Taken — Receive life as a gift. Blessed — Live with gratitude. Broken — Accept that suffering, failure, and forgiveness are part of every human life. Given — Offer yourself in love and service.
No one lives this perfectly. We simply begin again each day, taking the next loving step, one day at a time and, whenever possible, together.
The Fellowship Project A simple way of life, lived together.
Let us #PrayTogether that in large cities often marked by anonymity and loneliness we find new ways to proclaim the Gospel, discovering creative paths to build community. #PrayerIntention@clicktopray_en

Elon Musk has repeatedly said he wouldn’t be where he is today without the support of his mother, Maye Musk.
Behind every great person is often someone who believed in them first.
Do you admire Elon & Maye Musk?
A) Yes ❤️
B) No 👎
Eleanor Roosevelt thought Franklin should briefly assume a few dictatorial powers. FDR considered it, as I explain in The Defining Moment. But he decided not to exploit our weakness for strength. He rejected demagoguery and dictatorship, and so did the country until now.
As someone who uses speech to text for everything, I can tell you there is a massive difference between Grok and Google. Grok is way better at it. It makes significantly fewer mistakes.
Friends, my first contact with the power of Gothic cathedrals came through a freshman art history class at the University of Notre Dame. I was in a lecture hall with a few hundred others for a class conducted by a wonderful professor named Robert Leader. His principal point—which he communicated in no uncertain terms—was that the cathedrals were built by people of faith in order to serve a purpose that went beyond the merely artistic. They were meant to feed the soul and to direct the mind and heart to God.
Years later, on my first day as a doctoral student in Paris, jet-lagged and more than a little lost, I dropped my bags off and made my way directly to Notre-Dame.
I was drawn immediately to the famous north rose window, about which I had read for years and pictures of which I had first seen in Professor Leader’s class.
I stood mesmerized for a half hour, and I subsequently returned every day to gaze in wonder at that window.
Eventually, I became a tour guide there, delighting in my opportunity to explain the building but also to use it as a sort of visual aid to the proclamation of the faith.
In accord with the principle that the beautiful stops us in our tracks and then sends us on mission, I became an evangelist for these cathedrals; I wanted to grab people by the lapels and tell them about these buildings. I had begun to discover what would lead people all over the world, many years later, to weep at the sight of Notre-Dame Cathedral in flames.
I look forward to sharing this great cathedral with you too in “Heaven in Stone and Glass”—a cinematic pilgrimage coming to theaters nationwide this fall.
