   Unleashing a Generation | The Story Behind 733

   What happens when you create a space for a generation that's hungry for something more? In this episode of the Rise Up Podcast, Nate sits down with his wife Abby and 733 Executive Team member Kim Ray to share the story behind 733, Rise City Church's ministry for 18–29-year-olds. From the vision that started it all to the meaning behind the name, they unpack why 733 exists and what God has been doing over the last two years. Together, they talk about the importance of authentic community, creating space for the Holy Spirit to move, and why the next generation needs more than just another church gathering. They also share powerful stories of lives transformed, the heart behind Holy Ground worship nights, and how churches across the Portland area are coming together to pursue Jesus. This conversation is a reminder that God is moving in the next generation, and we're just getting started. Our mission is simple: Unleash a generation into God's plan and purpose. Join us at 733! If you're 18–29, we'd love to see you at our next gathering on Friday, November 6, featuring guest speaker Daniel Goulding. Come experience worship, community, and an opportunity to encounter Jesus.
