The Body of Work Intensive
You have spent years saying something worth keeping. It lives in your sermons and teachings, in talks and interviews and the conversations you have had along the way, in the writing you managed to do between everything else. It is real and it is substantial, and most of it has never been gathered into anything built to outlast the moment it was given.
People have probably told you to write a book. Perhaps you have started one. Underneath that advice is usually a quieter sense that the work is larger than a single book, and that rushing it into the wrong form would do it a disservice.
That instinct is right. Before anything is produced,
the work deserves to be understood.
What this is
The Body of Work Intensive is where that understanding happens.
You bring the material of your ministry, and we sit with the whole of it together. The purpose is discernment rather than production: to see clearly what is actually there, what the through-line has been all along, what the work is for,
and what it is ready to become.
This is the thinking that comes before the making. Publishing, when it follows, becomes a decision made from clarity instead of guesswork.
What you leave with
You leave with a written brief, a clear map of your own body of work and a plan for its life. It names the heart of what you have been saying. It takes honest inventory of what already exists. It tells you what the work should become and in what order to build it, and it is candid about what is better set aside. If a book or a series turns out to be the right outcome, the path forward is laid out plainly.
It is the difference between leaving behind a shelf of disconnected products and leaving behind a stewarded body of work.
How it relates to publishing
Revival House Publishing exists to produce and carry the work once its shape is clear. The Intensive is the step before that, the one most people skip and later wish they had taken. When the brief points toward publishing, the door into the house is already open.
Beginning
If this is the season you are in, the next step is simply a conversation about whether the work is a fit.
The right time to do this is before the work is made,
while it can still be shaped with care.
