"We are training people to take advantage of advertising that will help them live lives of intention," said Nathan Sheets, a vice president of e3 Partners Ministry. "I Am Second is a mindset to live out authentic, transparent lives."

According to the report, pastors have expressed interest in taking the campaign to Atlanta and Portland.
