THE MINISTRY
About GoodLion.
GoodLion exists to help people follow Jesus with depth, courage, and imagination in a post-Christian world.
safe? course he isn’t safe. but he’s good.
01
the name
Why “GoodLion”?
“Safe? Of course he isn’t safe. But he’s good.”
The name comes from C. S. Lewis’s Narnia. When the child Lucy asks whether Aslan the lion is safe, she is told those words.
That is the Jesus we want people to meet: not tame, not manageable, but profoundly good. Our deepest desire is for people to encounter that Jesus, break free from apathy and thin faith, and step into real, costly, joyful discipleship.
02
the moment we are in
Pointing to Christ and his Kingdom.
We live in a post-Christian age. Many young adults are trying to follow Jesus while navigating doubt, deconstruction, online noise, spiritual loneliness, and shallow answers. GoodLion was born out of a pastoral desire to help them find an anchor in the person, teachings, and Kingdom of Jesus.
We want to help doubting Thomases see the wounds of the risen Christ, call weary believers beyond thin faith into costly, joyful discipleship, and form peacemakers who carry conviction and charity into a divided world.
his kingdom come. his will be done.
03
who we serve
Serving the local and global church.
GoodLion serves young adults locally through the School of Discipleship and serves the wider church through podcasts, essays, teaching, and resources.
The School is based in the Yukon / Oklahoma City area, but the ministry’s heart has always been larger than one room. GoodLion creates resources for the broader body of Christ while staying rooted in embodied, local discipleship.
The School is especially accessible to young adults in the non-denominational church world, but the room is open to students from different churches, traditions, and backgrounds within historic Christian faith.
Aaron was a pastor within the Calvary Chapel church movement, and that history shaped his love for Scripture, pastoral ministry, and verse-by-verse Bible teaching. Today, he works across denominations and church networks with a Kingdom-minded posture. By that, we mean working across denominational lines while staying centered on Jesus, rooted in Scripture, and committed to the good of the whole church.
