No one should have to explore faith alone — and no ministry should have to reach the world alone, either. That shared belief is why ExploreGod and OneHope are joining forces: combining ExploreGod’s 22 years of pioneering digital evangelism with OneHope’s 40+ years of reaching young people, to build a next-generation discipleship platform and give it freely to churches and ministries around the world.
The two ministries formalized the partnership on September 10 at OneHope's headquarters in Pompano Beach, Florida.
But the story of why matters even more than the what.
A Partnership Born of Conviction, Not Convenience
This partnership didn't begin because a giving partner asked us to work together. It began with a shared conviction — rooted in Philippians 2 — that the Church is stronger when we build together rather than alone.
"We believe God is doing something remarkable among Christian ministries all over the world right now — a genuine, unforced move toward unity," said Jamie Radtke, CEO of ExploreGod. "From day one, our commitment has been that whatever we create together will be given freely to any ministry doing digital evangelism and discipleship work, because the infrastructure for making disciples should never be a barrier to making disciples."
The partnership embodies “collaborative missiology” — bringing together the strengths of two ministries to reach people at every stage of life. It's not about overlap. It's about complementary strength.
A Single Journey, From Childhood to Adulthood
ExploreGod primarily reaches adults — often as they scroll through their daily lives online and come across an invitation to explore their questions about God. OneHope brings more than 40 years of experience reaching children and young people, touching more than two billion young lives through partnerships with local churches, schools, and national organizations.
Put those strengths together, and something extraordinary becomes possible: people at any stage of life coming to know and grow in Christ. OneHope casts a wide net for younger generations; ExploreGod casts a net for adults. By collaborating to develop a new platform that nurtures and tracks a single discipleship journey from childhood to adulthood, any ministry or church will be able to seamlessly manage end-to-end spiritual growth paths through any stage of life.
"As the next generation increasingly searches for truth in digital spaces, we have an incredible opportunity to meet them where they are," said Rob Hoskins, CEO and Co-Founder of OneHope. "Together, we can help more young people move from searching for answers to encountering the lasting hope found in Jesus."
At the center of it all is PATH, a technology pioneered by ExploreGod and now offered free to any church, nonprofit, or ministry worldwide, regardless of size or geography.
"PATH can receive a response at global scale, match that person with a trained volunteer who speaks their language, and carry the relationship all the way from first contact through spiritual maturity," said Yvonne Carlson, CTO of ExploreGod. “Each ministry brings its own people, voice, and content — and retains control of its own data — while sharing one strong foundation. It's a wiser way to steward Kingdom resources: less duplication, more reach, greater collective impact.”
The goal of this partnership is simple, and it's the heart of everything ExploreGod does — to help anyone, anywhere know and grow in Christ, at every stage of life.
