Brehm Preaching
The vision of Brehm Preaching—A Lloyd John Ogilvie Initiative—is to proclaim Jesus Christ and to catalyze a movement of empowered, wise preachers, who seek justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with God, leading others to join God’s mission in the world.
Originally established in 2009 as the Ogilvie Institute, Brehm Preaching, recognizes the great need that society has for preachers who can preach with passion and set out to equip and enable a brave, bold breed of preachers for the 21st century church.

Micah Groups
Micah Groups is the primary program that brings the Brehm Preaching vision to life. Since 2011, more than 2,000 preachers and church leaders around the world have joined this multiethnic, trans-denominational movement of men and women leading the church to address pressing issues of justice while serving an ever more fragmented church.
As the prophet Micah did in his time, we believe that leaders are needed in our times to call the church to repentance and help facilitate its restoration as they invite others to participate in God’s call to do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly.

Micah Intensives
Micah Intensives are courses that use our curriculum series Doing Justice, which includes individual courses on six specific issues of justice.
Each course will explore introductory material to familiarize learners with some of the key issues and history related to each topic, then three to four different Christian responses will be explored. The hope is that by learning to understand why people hold certain positions, we will grow in wisdom and insight toward God’s will regarding these complex issues.
