You know you're called
You Don't Need Another Strategy
You feel called to share your message, and you've already started. But somewhere along the way, "keep going" turned into "do everything."
Be on every platform
Master every algorithm
Take every course
And build it all alone
Here's what I've learned after years of building my own message, platform, and business: the ideas were never the problem. The problem is trying to carry all of it by yourself. You don't need more information. You need focus. You need accountability. You need people who get it.
What you need is the right room.
The AuthorPreneur Mastermind
The Right Room Changes Everything
Step into an APMM meeting and you'll know within minutes: these are your people. Authors, pastors, speakers, coaches, and creators who care deeply about ministry, think like entrepreneurs, and are actively building, just like you.
They celebrate your wins like their own. They tell you the truth when you're stuck. And they generously share what's actually working, because everyone in this room is building in the trenches together.
Growth is normal here. Leaders sharpen leaders. Momentum builds.

A Track Record You Can Build On
In November 2025, YouVersion presented its first-ever Co-Mission Awards. Out of more than 34,000 partners worldwide, only seven received one.
4 of 7
Jackie and three APMM members were among the seven first-ever recipients.
Only seven partners received the first-ever Co-Mission Award.
They were chosen from more than 34,000 YouVersion partners worldwide.
Four of those seven came from this room: Jackie and three APMM members.
Presented at the 2025 YouVersion Partner Summit, the Co-Mission Award honors partners who embody co-mission through creativity, collaboration, and innovation. It recognizes each recipient's individual work and is not an endorsement of APMM.

Why APMM Is Different
APMM isn't a course, a content library, or a networking group. It's a high-trust room where experienced Christian creators coach, challenge, and champion one another.
The Right People
Experienced creators who are actively building and generously share what's working.
Real-Time Coaching
Live guidance on email, funnels, positioning, and publishing, applied to your actual situation.
Focused Accountability
Biweekly hot seats mean your stuck point never waits more than two weeks.
Shared Experience
Frameworks refined through hundreds of real breakthroughs. Refined experience, not guesswork.
Strategic Relationships
The right relationships, including Jackie's long-standing YouVersion partnership, open real doors.
A Clear Success Path
The Success Path, anchored by OP3 (One Person, One Product, One Pathway), shows you where you are and what deserves your focus next.

The accountability within the APMM system allowed Fortt Media to focus, plan, and execute our strategy in a fraction of the time it would have taken us on our own.

To have that many quality people speak into my situation from their level of experience and expertise, that's been powerful, and worth its weight in gold.

The Five P's
The APMM Success Path
One journey, five stages. Wherever you are, the path shows you what deserves your focus next, so you can stop trying to take every step at once.
1
Purpose
Get clear on your calling and the message God has given you.
2
Person
Define who you're called to serve and what they need most.
3
Product
Build the content and offers that serve your person well.
4
Pathway
Map how people find you, follow you, and go deeper.
5
Profit
Create sustainable revenue that funds the ministry long-term.
The heart of the path is OP3: One Person, One Product, One Pathway. Most creators already know their purpose, and profit is what keeps the ministry sustainable. The breakthrough happens in the middle, and that's where the room spends most of its time.

Is APMM Right for You?
APMM is a strong fit if you...
Have already started and are creating consistently
Want greater focus, not more noise
Are willing to execute between meetings
Value coaching and community
Are willing to contribute to the room, not just take from it
It's probably not for you if you...
Haven't started creating yet
Only want passive information to consume
Aren't ready to show up consistently
Aren't ready to act on what you're learning
Would rather build alone than grow with a community
APMM is designed for creators who have already started and are ready to grow. If you're at the very beginning, a Clarity Call is a good way to talk through your best next step.
Do I need to be a YouVersion partner?
No. Some members join without a partnership. Others already have one. Both benefit.
Do I have to join APMM to publish on YouVersion?
No. APMM includes strategic coaching, writing support, and the ability to publish under Jackie's approved YouVersion Content Partnership. However, anyone can apply directly to YouVersion to become a Content Partner at no cost when applications reopen. Learn more on YouVersion's official Content Partners page.
How large are cohorts?
Each cohort is intentionally small, typically 5 to 9 members, to keep the room focused, relational, and high-trust.
What is the time commitment?
Mastermind meetings happen every other week, plus the time you invest executing between meetings. Most members find the room saves them far more time than it takes.
What does APMM cost?
Current investment details are shared during the application process and on your Clarity Call. Members consistently describe APMM as the best investment they've made in their message and ministry.
What happens after I apply?
We review your application, and if it looks like a strong fit, we'll schedule a conversation to make sure the room is right for you before the next cohort begins.
Your next step
The Right Room Is Waiting.
If you're ready to grow your reach, your revenue, and your impact, apply for the next cohort. Want to make sure it's a fit first? Schedule a 30-minute Clarity Call and we'll figure out your right next step together.
