Peyton Jones: Empowering Every Believer—Part 2
Don’t miss Part 1 of our interview, where Peyton Jones talks about the winding road that led to his becoming an “accidental church planter,” the difference between church starting and church planting, and the principles that lead to a church planting movement. The opening quote of your book is adapted from Tolkien.
How Did Jesus Make Disciples? (And How You Can, Too)
For two thousand years, the words of the Great Commission have echoed through the corridors of church history: “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations” (Matthew 28:19, NIV). Few commands are more familiar to Christians. Often quoted, yet so misunderstood in practice.

Climate Pollution Reduction Grant Efforts Translate to Enhanced Community Impact
The Climate Pollution Reduction Grant (CPRG) program funded by the Inflation Reduction Action (IRA) and administered by the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) provided $5 billion in formula grants to requesting states, Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) for regional municipal coordination, tribes and territories to develop and implement plans to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHG).
How Manufacturers Can Stay Ahead Of The Changing Landscape Of PFAS Regulations
Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), commonly known as "forever chemicals," are a varied group of thousands of manufactured chemicals and have been used in industry and consumer products since the 1940s. In April 2024, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) updated its inventory list to reflect approximately 12,697 different types of substances that fall under the PFAS category.

Municipal Water Projects Advance with State Revolving Fund Financing and Funding
The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL), officially known as the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, provides significant funding for improving the nation’s drinking water, wastewater and stormwater infrastructure. The law delivers $50 billion to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), mostly to the State Revolving Fund (SRF) programs, which goes out to communities from state agencies as a mix of loans and grants or principal forgiveness.
Insights from the 2023 Northeast Resilient Cities Summit
Across the country, old and outdated infrastructure is vulnerable to a changing climate, from frequent and intense storms, extreme heat, and drought. Cities, towns, and villages in the Northeast are already experiencing the impacts of climate change as drainage systems are overwhelmed by heavy rainfall, utility systems are stressed by longer and more frequent heat waves, and sea level rise is lapping at the coast.
Reach a Whole Region
Every time multiple churches are planted within a geographical area, a local network is naturally formed. Networks, in turn, lead to greater levels of multiplication, because networks mean strength in numbers, shared common goals and pooled resources. Every church-planting movement starts with a local network, as Paul discovered on his first missionary journey.
Federal Funding for Municipalities to Expand Solar Programs for Low-Income Residents
The Inflation Reduction Act, passed in August 2022, is the largest federal investment in climate and clean energy in the history of the United States. It included a number of programs to help communities access and maximize clean energy, including the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund’s (GHGRF) Solar for All program.
Rural Development Opportunities and the 2023 Farm Bill
The Farm Bill contains many programs that contribute to the maintenance and modernization of rural infrastructure, mainly in Title VI: Rural Development. This section of the bill covers a wide range of programs, including housing, workforce development, water infrastructure, broadband and telecommunications, business development, energy and utilities. You can see all of the programs here.
Building Resilient Communities: The Power of Dig Once Policies
By: Peyton Siler Jones To prepare for the future needs of their communities, cities, towns and villages can adopt a Dig Once policy to align major construction projects between departments, across agencies and across jurisdictions. Some Dig Once policies focus on the installation of new broadband and telecommunications infrastructure during the excavation phase of major infrastructure projects.
2023 Farm Bill: A Driver for Conservation
The Farm Bill is up for reauthorization this year as it is set to expire September 30, 2023. In the next few months, lawmakers will be busy drafting legislative language for the 12 Titles of the bill. NLC shared local government priorities for the next version of the bill with members of the Senate and House Agriculture Committees. In the U.S., agriculture contributed 10 percent of greenhouse gas emissions in 2021.
How Small Communities Can Benefit from Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant Funding
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced additional resources and funding for communities under the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG) that are particularly geared toward smaller communities. The EECBG is designed to assist states, local governments and tribes in planning and implementing programs and policies to reduce energy use, reduce fossil fuel emissions and improve energy efficiency. The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law directed $550 million to the EECBG program.
Harnessing the Power of Nature-Based Solutions
Communities across the U.S. are grappling with simultaneous and compounding crises: climate-driven disasters, the systemic and long-running disinvestment in communities of color, a growing mental health crisis (particularly among teens) and more. While the underlying sources for these challenges vary, a growing number of communities are turning to seemingly unlikely strategies that provide climate, health and equity benefits simultaneously: nature-based solutions.
Federal Funding Sources for Municipal Sustainability and Climate Action
For cities looking to comprehensively address resilience and sustainability at the local level, there is an array of federal funding sources available for a wide variety of eligible uses. These funds, ranging from annual allocations to competitive grants, give municipalities the financial opportunity to add a climate and resiliency lens to all municipal operations and projects. For an introduction to the basics of major federal grants, check out this fact sheet.
How to Get Your Local Government to 100 Percent Clean Electricity
Hundreds of cities across the United States have announced 100 percent renewable energy or carbon-neutrality goals. While setting a target is a critical first step, the next step is prioritizing and implementing energy projects to meet their goals efficiently.
Investing in Local Water Infrastructure for a Resilient, Livable Future
City leaders are essential decision makers in stewarding our water resources. Ninety-five percent or more of water infrastructure spending occurs at the community level, and 87 percent of people nationwide are served by public water utilities. While federal and state agencies have a vital role, the policies, strategies and priorities established by local leaders have the power to fundamentally shift how we think about and use water.
Federal Inflation Reduction Act Funding Opportunities for Climate Action
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced two new grants to support local governments in reducing carbon pollution and meeting their climate goals. The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) created the Climate Pollution Reduction Grant (CPRG) and the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund (GGRF). Both funding opportunities support climate action, which creates good-paying jobs, keeps communities healthy and safe, and improves quality of life for residents.
How Local Governments Can Use Direct Pay on Clean Energy Projects
The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) provides a variety of incentives for clean energy. Many of these tax credits and rebates are aimed at individuals and households to transform their energy use and consumption – from home energy efficiency improvements to rooftop solar and electric vehicles. Local leaders have an important role to play in helping their residents understand and take advantage of these opportunities.

An Interview with The Supreme Cupids of Datamatch Made Me Believe In Love | Flyby | The Harvard Crimson
In case you’ve been in nonstop Zooms for the past week, Datamatch is out, and there’s still time to sign up! For those of you unacquainted with Harvard’s best tradition, Datamatch is the exact intersection of two of everyone’s favorite things: personality quizzes and free food. In normal times, you would sign up, take a funky quiz, indicate if you’re looking for platonic or romantic matches (or both!), and then get matched with other Harvard students through a top-secret algorithm.
Dear Freshmen: Virtual Traditions | Flyby | The Harvard Crimson
Kind of like how nobody remembers hearing “Mr. Brightside” for the first time, Harvard students seem to just somehow know the three unofficial graduation requirements. Unfortunately, all three are kind of (read: definitely) not compatible with current on-campus restrictions/remote learning life. Read on for ways to check off the time-honored bucket list in a coronavirus world.
Things About In-Person Harvard That We Don’t Miss at All | Flyby | The Harvard Crimson
Alright, alright, alright! The fall semester is officially underway, and it sure is different from the good ol’ days. And, yeah, we have a long list of complaints about the pandemic and remote learning, but there are a few bright sides to having your academic life turned upside down. In attempt to practice gratitude (apparently it’s “good for you” and a “healthy coping mechanism”), here’s a list of #stressful things about the normal college experience that we don’t miss one bit.
Being disrespectful should not be a personality trait
I am not sensitive. I just do not appreciate being disrespected. In my 20 years of life, one thing I have yet to understand is how the rudest people seem to always end up on top. Sure, we like to believe that karma exists, and they will eventually get what they deserve, but I have seen people go on to do just fine after treating others like the scum of the earth. I hate to say it, but I think someone needs to. I hope their day comes.
‘Jusitce for Breonna Taylor’ is now another performative social media trend
You may be familiar with her name from someone’s post on social media, “but anyways, justice for Breonna Taylor,” but she was so much more than a second thought in someone’s Instagram caption. Breonna Taylor was a young 26-year-old Black woman who worked as an emergency room technician in Louisville, Kentucky. She was murdered by the Louisville Metro Police Department, in her sleep, while in the comfort of her home on March 13, 2020.
Putting your money where your mouth is
Recently, the public has been made more aware of problematic companies and their distribution of funds to different organizations, specifically ones that represent hate. Most of this may have already been public information, but since the influx of support for the Black Lives Matter movement this year, companies have become more pressured to be more upfront about where their consumer’s dollars are being forwarded to.
Stop downplaying the pain of the youth
“Oh, you’re young, you’ll recover.” “Honey, you do not know even know what pain is.” Or, my all-time personal favorite, “You’re just exaggerating.” These are common phrases heard by people like me, from other people, when we choose to talk about the struggles faced living with a chronic disease and/or condition. Most of the time we shrug it off, not wanting the person who said the ignorant statement to feel bad for their hurtful words.
Much needed mental health check...for Black people
In the past month, the Black Lives Matter movement has garnered attention from all around the world, and it has been unlike anything I have seen in my lifetime. Since its founding in 2013, based on the acquittal of Trayvon’s Martin murderer, George Zimmerman, the message of the movement has been spreading to different areas around the world. In 2013, it was at the forefront of people’s minds, especially Black people.
Stop missing ‘keypoint’ of safe spaces
You have a town of people who have established themselves as being their own little private community. We will call it “Keypoint.” Keypoint is full of people who all know each other well enough. They have a lot of commonalities, and there is no official leader because everyone knows the law of the land and respects this common law. The biggest thing that the citizens of this town share is why they are here in the first place. They were all, at one point or another, labeled as outsiders by the state.
Your BoardPlus Horoscope Will Predict How Your Semester Will Go | Flyby | The Harvard Crimson

Nov 19, 2019 Share The one weekend when Harvard students have school spirit is nearly upon us, folks, and this time, The Game is at Yale.

Why I Declared 2019: STEM | Flyby | The Harvard Crimson
Nov 11, 2019 By Peyton A. Jones, Lucy Liu, and Kiana Ziadkhanpour Share Concentration declaration is a rite of passage at Harvard.

Flyby Investigates: New Lowell House | Flyby | The Harvard Crimson
Sep 6, 2019 By Peyton A. Jones and Rachel L. Reynolds Share Everyone knows that Boston has two seasons: construction and winter. Harvard is no exception.

The Basement There’s so much new stuff waiting to be explored in the basement of new Lowell that it’s hard to know where to start.
From 'Sit Back and Watch' to 'Get Up and Go'
According to church researcher Ed Stetzer, 86 percent of unchurched people say they can have a good relationship with God without belonging to a church. Perhaps you’ve heard someone say something like, “I don’t need to go to church. If I want to listen to a sermon, I’ll download something from the Internet. If I want to worship, I’ll get my favorite songs off iTunes. Watch the show at church, or watch it at home—what’s the difference?” How do you answer that?

Harvard Dating Lines to Make it or Break it | Flyby | The Harvard Crimson
Apr 3, 2019 Share To say the least, the Harvard dating scene is not your average college dating scene. It sometimes seems impossible to just “catch a meal” with someone, and if you want to hear about dating woes straight from the mouths of students, just take a look at Harvard Confessions. With formals season coming up, however, many are on the lookout for a date. How do you know if they’re the one for you or if you’re better off just committing to your pset for now?
Better Things to Steal Than the Lowell Grill iPad | Flyby | The Harvard Crimson
Feb 6, 2019 By Peyton A. Jones and Rachel L. Reynolds Share More often than not, the Grill is the only thing standing between Harvard students and sub-par HUDS days, making it a universal favorite. Tragedy struck at the Lowtel, however, when a thief nabbed the d-hall’s iPad, according to Grill staff member James C. Burdulis.
Train Your Group in Relational Evangelism
Just the thought of evangelism can send chills down the spine of many Christians, but relational evangelism, bringing the hope of Jesus naturally into your relationships, really isn’t scary. In fact, it can be really simple. Your group members are in relationships every day—with their family members, coworkers, neighbors, and friends—and you can help train them in easy ways to intentionally incorporate the Good News of Jesus into their relationships. They don’t need a tract or a gimmicky method.

Buckets 4 Brain Tumors
"Buckets 4 Brain Tumors" was founded by me, JB Hayes, as a way to celebrate my recovery from surgery to remove a brain tumor in January 2013. All proceeds will go directly to the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation and will be used for brain tumor research and to provide support for families whose children have been diagnosed with brain tumors.
My Near Life Experience
I still don't know how to die. You'd think having done it once I would have some expertise on the subject. Most people punch a one-way ticket to the Great Beyond, but mine was a return ticket. The surgery was scheduled. Death was not. It came abruptly and unannounced. There was no shuffling in line, security checkpoints, or waiting at the gate. It came without warning. I was unconscious when I stopped breathing. I had gone under the knife to remove nose cartilage occluding my airway.
