Continue the Journey After Revoice26
A summer book clubwith Greg Coles’ No Longer Strangers
What happens after the conference ends?
For many in our community, Revoice is more than an event. It’s a place of connection, honesty, encouragement, and spiritual renewal. But we also know that returning home after such a meaningful week can sometimes feel difficult and isolating. That’s why we’re inviting you to continue the journey with us!
This summer, join the Revoice community for an online book club through No Longer Strangers by Greg Coles — a thoughtful exploration of friendship, belonging, loneliness, faith, and the family of God.
Whether you attended Revoice26 in person, joined online, or are simply looking for deeper community and discipleship, there’s a place for you here.
A Space for Ongoing Discipleship & Community
Revoice deeply values what happens after the conference. This book club is designed to help attendees continue building meaningful relationships, reflecting on Scripture, and processing the themes of Revoice26’s “By Faith” journey together.
Over several weeks, we’ll gather online to discuss No Longer Strangers, pray together, and encourage one another in faithful Christian community.
Together, we’ll explore themes like:
Friendship and chosen family
Loneliness, belonging, and the longing to be known
Faithful discipleship in the midst of suffering and hope
The ways God meets us through Christian community
Building rhythms of connection and care beyond the conference experience
Our hope is:
That you would feel less alone
That your faith would be strengthened
That meaningful relationships would continue beyond Revoice26
That Scripture and shared discipleship would remain central in your journey with Jesus

about the bookNo Longer Strangers by Greg Coles
“Belonging has never come easy to me.
Growing up, there was my mutated national identity to deal with--my not-quite-American, not-quite-Indonesian soul, restless in both countries. Later, when I came out as a celibate gay Christian, I found I didn't fit into the Church as easily as I used to. I've often wondered what it means to belong to others even when I can't manage to blend in with them.
The way Jesus tells it, if we give up on belonging in order to follow him, we'll find ourselves belonging anyway. We might not belong the way other people do, with normal homes and normal families and normal ways of fitting in. But we'll belong in a way that's a hundred times better. We'll be fully in place because we know we are out of place. We'll belong like aliens.
Maybe you're caught in the same tension as me, wanting to fit somewhere even as you're permanently out of place. Maybe you feel like an alien.
If so, let's be aliens together.” - Greg
