The Underground circle

Where Quiet
Transformation
Begins

A community supporting everyday discipleship, real conversations, and simple acts of kindness that change a city from the ground up.


WHAT IS THE UNDERGROUND CIRCLE?

A quiet movement of transformation-from the inside out.

Before anything grows upward, it grows downward. Roots form in the unseen places. Strength takes time. Real change usually begins where no one is looking.

That's the heart behind The Underground Circle - a community of people choosing to support the slow, steady work that leads to lasting growth.

If the Daily Dig turns the soil each day with encouragement and truth, The Underground Circle exists to care for that soil- creating space, stability, and support for growth over time.

When you join, you're not just supporting content. You're helping make possible the work that happens off-camera- the kind of relational work that doesn't always get attention, but changes lives over time.

You're helping build:

  • Coffee Conversations - Intentional, unhurried conversations in coffee shops- creating spaces where people can share their stories, ask questions, feel seen, heard, and valued.
  • The Good Ground App - Simple everyday practices that help people notice kindness, show up for others, and live with more intention right where they are.
  • The Daily Dig world (present + future) - Ongoing reflection-style video content and devotionals for people who want to grow through real life and not around it.
  • Underground Worship - Cozy, authentic, coffee-house style worship nights under the stars, rooted in presence.

This is how transformation begins - underground.


COFFEE CONVERSATIONS ☕️WHAT THEY ARE & WHY THEY MATTER

Small Tables. Warm drinks. Real stories. Real transformation.

Jesus didn't wait for people to come to Him. He sat with them, ate with them, listened to them, and met them exactly where they were.

Coffee Conversations is our modern expression of that same heart.

Every week, we go into local coffee shops simply to say:

"We'd love to buy your coffee - and hear your story."

That's it.

No pressure.

No agenda.

Just presence.

Just care.

Just listening the way Jesus did - with dignity, respect, and genuine curiosity.

Most people today feel disconnected, overwhelmed, or unseen. A single conversation can shift someone's day... sometimes even their direction.

And your partnership helps make it possible.

Every cup you fund becomes an open door for compassion, community, and quiet growth that happens through relationship.


THE GOOD GROUND APP 🌿 WHAT IT IS & WHY IT MATTERS

Small acts. Simple moments. Real transformation - one day at a time.

Most people want to do good. They want to help. They want to make a difference.

They just don't always know where to start.

The Good Ground App changes that.

It uses gentle gamification - simple daily challenges, streaks, milestones, and impact tracking - to make kindness a habit and to bring communities together in easy, fun, and meaningful ways.

That might look like:

  • Holding the door for someone and actually noticing them
  • Picking up litter on your block
  • Sending an encouraging text
  • Paying for a stranger's coffee
  • Showing up to help a local charity feed the homeless

Small things. Ordinary things. Things people already want to do- but often forget.

And here's the beautiful part:

As people complete challenges... As they experience what it feels like to bless someone... As they see the ripple effects of their kindness... something softens. Something opens and their kindness becomes contagious- humanity in motion.

Your support inside the Underground Circle helps us build this app from the ground up - the design, the development, the daily challenges, the community features, and the long-term vision to bring this into cities everywhere.

This is good soil.

And this is where transformation grows - one small act at a time.


WHY THIS MATTERS 🌎

The Vision Beneath Everything We're Building

There is a quiet movement rising - not loud, not flashy... but deeply human and deeply rooted.

The Underground Circle exists because people are tired of noise and hungry for presence. Many feel unseen, disconnected, or unsure where they belong- yet still long to matter and to contribute to something good.

This movement is our response to that longing.

This is the bigger picture:

A world where kindness becomes contagious again.

The Good Ground app will send out thousands of small acts of compassion into communities- acts that multiply and quietly shift a culture.

A world where spiritual conversations happen at coffee tables, not pedestals.

Coffee Conversations create space for being seen and for belonging. They model a form a discipleship that is gentle, welcoming, and deeply relational.

A world where people experience love before explanations.

We believe that's how Jesus has always worked- meeting people where they are, restoring their hearts, letting transformation grow over time.

THIS IS A LONG GAME

Not built on pressure or noise, but on small seeds planted faithfully- roots growing unseen, quiet acts of hope over time.

Your partnership makes this possible.

    FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

    What exactly am I supporting?

    Your partnership fuels Coffee Conversations, the development of the Good Ground App, future discipleship tools, and the quiet work of reaching people where they actually live their lives.

    Support also helps make future initiatives of the project possible- including Underground Worship nights and other in-person moments designed to create space for presence, prayer, and quiet encounters with God.

    Why monthly support instead of a one time gift?

    Monthly support allows this work to grow steadily and sustainably.

    Quiet transformation happens over time- through consistent presence, ongoing conversations, and faithful investment in people and communities.

    Is this a nonprofit?

    The Underground Circle is part of The Jesus Transformation Project, a donor-supported ministry initiative. Every dollar goes directly into discipleship-centered outreach and development.

    We are currently operating as a donor-supported ministry, with the long-term goal of formalizing The Jesus Transformation Project as a nonprofit organization as the work continues to grow.
