I Am Second

It’s Not Just a Phrase but a Way of Life

In 2008, a small group of people in the Dallas-Fort Worth area met to discuss their mutual calling to share the hope of Jesus with as many people in their region as possible. That conversation led to the creation of I Am Second, the digital media initiative of the church-planting organization e3 Partners Ministry, which has since reached nearly every nation and territory in the world to inspire, disciple, and mobilize believers to take action.

Though best known for its captivating storytelling, I Am Second’s work extends beyond producing impactful films. The heart of I Am Second is for people everywhere to start and/or develop a personal and obedient relationship with Jesus. The online platform and the I Am Second app equip believers with tools and confidence to share the gospel with others. Additionally, the I Am Second digital pathway connects mission-minded believers to mobilization opportunities in the U.S. and abroad provided by e3 Partners.

For over thirty-five years, e3 Partners’ mission practitioners have entered the hardest-to-reach places around the world, sharing the gospel, training others to do the same, and forming new faith communities. The Made to Multiply Bible Study is taught by two such seasoned practitioners, Joshua Spinks and Taylor Wooldridge.

Joshua Spinks serves as a vice president of e3 Partners, overseeing the North American initiatives for the ministry, including I Am Second. In his role, he seeks to partner e3 with churches and ministries across the country. These partnerships help equip churches and believers to engage lostness both in the U.S. and around the world. Joshua has pastored in local churches with his family of eight for the last twenty years. He received his bachelor’s degree in religion from Liberty University and his master’s degree in Christian apologetics from New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary.

Taylor Wooldridge serves as I Am Second’s Ministry Manager, coordinating the activities of I Am Second and training coaches and ministry ambassadors across the United States. Also a graduate of Liberty University, she is a prolific trainer who, along with her husband, John, is regularly out in the harvest field sharing the gospel and discipling new believers.
