I Am Second

I Am Second was founded on December 2, 2008,[5] in collaboration with a small team from e3 Partners Ministry with whom Miller had previously worked.[3] Started as an outreach organization for those individuals living in the Dallas-Fort Worth area,.[3]

I Am Second's website advertises ways in which an individual can become involved with the movement.[1] In particular, the website shows video-testimonies from individuals who have been transformed by their faith, such finding the power to overcome various struggles. Each video-testimony is featured to correspond with a specific subject area or common struggle that people are experiencing or have experienced throughout their lives. In 2011 Bethany Hamilton, who lost her left arm in a shark attack at the age of 13, recorded a testimony for the project describing how relying on her faith helped her through the experience.[6] Other stars who have recorded videos for I am Second include former Texas Rangers outfielder Josh Hamilton, Grammy award winner Michael W. Smith, former Dallas Cowboys linebacker Bradie James and Korn guitarist Brian Welch.[7]

In order to strengthen connection to others involved in the movement and in their Christian faith, I Am Second groups have been established by the organization.[8] These groups are centered on discussions wherein people share and discuss daily struggles and issues of life in a Christian context. One of the main goals of these groups are to introduce the idea of people restructuring their life in a way in which they put God first and themselves second. Furthermore, I Am Second groups function in order to help members explore and discover their own personal purpose in life, as well as unite people who are on similar spiritual journeys.
