What’s included with your [+pass+] upgrade

Ten chapters in your hand. Ten toolkits in your account. The book introduces them. The platform already has them built.

Bonus #1 — Audiobook

Regan-Narrated Audiobook + Searchable PDF — For The Drive Home ($47 value)

A pastor’s daughter turned church attorney. 23+ years serving 200+ churches nationwide. Over $1B in church transactions stewarded. And an ordained minister herself. When you upgrade to the [+pass+], you don’t just get the book — you get the audiobook and searchable PDF, in Regan’s own voice.

The 6-hour audiobook of Protecting Ministries That Last, narrated by Regan herself — for the drive home, the morning walk, the ride to the next board meeting.
A fully searchable PDF you keep on your phone for board meetings — search any clause, any chapter, any framework in seconds.
The [+pass+] turns the book from a download you’ll get to “later” into something you actually finish — the way the most committed pastors do.

[+pass+] exclusive · Regan-narrated · 6-hour audiobook + searchable PDF

Bonus #2 — Office Hours

Monthly Group Office Hours With Regan — Bring Your Toughest Compliance Question ($1,164/yr value)

Once a month, on the first Tuesday at 8 PM CT, Regan opens a 45-minute live Q&A room — for [+pass+] members only. Bring the bylaw your board wants to argue about, the housing-allowance question your CPA gave you a vague answer on, the compliance gap from Chapter 3 you weren’t sure how to apply.
In every cohort Regan’s ever run, the pastors who actually get their churches legally settled come overwhelmingly from the Pass members. Not because they got luckier — because they made a decision that signaled “I’m serious about this.”
That decision changes how you show up. And showing up differently changes everything.

Bonus #3 — Legal Audit

In-Platform Legal Audit + 12-Page Personalized Report ($497 value)

The book’s first chapter — The Hidden Risks That Can Derail Your Church — names the categories of risk. The [+pass+] gives you the diagnostic tool that runs the audit: 25 questions, AI-assembled, that produce a personalized 12-page report mapped to the exact chapters of the book.
You don’t read about the risks anymore. You see your church’s specific exposure across all nine domains — bylaws, governance, ordination, comp, HR, child safety, IP, insurance, and the diagnostic itself — laid out in priority order.
Most pastors finish the audit and immediately know which chapter to re-read first. Bring your spouse, your board chair, your treasurer — the report is yours to keep regardless of whether you stay on the platform after the trial.

Bonus #4 — Pass Worksheets

Compensation Calculator + Housing Allowance Audit Worksheet ($1,097 value)

Pastor Compensation Optimization Calculator — the 5-tab Google Sheet Regan uses with paying clients (40 inputs, ECFA-survey replacement). Chapter 5 of the book made operational.
Housing Allowance Audit Worksheet + Companion — 5-page fillable PDF + 4-page board-resolution-ready guide you can drop straight into next week’s board minutes.
The exact templates Regan uses with the pastors paying her by the hour — included free with your [+pass+].

[+pass+] — frequently asked questions

What is the [+pass+]?

It’s the upgraded experience for pastors who actually open the book. Three Pass-exclusive bonuses: (1) the Regan-narrated audiobook + searchable PDF of Protecting Ministries That Last, (2) a monthly Group Office Hours seat (45 minutes, first Tuesday, Regan-led), and (3) the in-platform STRONGCHURCH Legal Audit Tool that runs Chapter 1’s framework against your church and produces a 12-page personalized report — PLUS a 14-day trial of STRONGCHURCHES, the platform that holds the working version of every toolkit in the book. Two more Pass-exclusive worksheets — the Pastor Compensation Optimization Calculator and the Housing Allowance Audit Worksheet — also come with the upgrade. The book itself is yours forever, whether you upgrade or not.

Does the [+pass+] cover everything in the book — or do I have to take the platform trial to get the working tools for each chapter?

The book is yours forever — that’s the freebie you already qualified for. The [+pass+] adds the audiobook, the searchable PDF, the monthly Group Office Hours seat, and the in-platform legal audit — those are the Pass-exclusives. The platform itself (STRONGCHURCHES) is what holds the working version of each chapter’s toolkit — bylaws, governance, ordination, compensation, HR, child safety, IP, insurance, and the audit. The [+pass+] includes a 14-day free trial of the platform — so for the first two weeks you have access to all 10 toolkits at no charge. After day 14, the trial converts to a paid membership at $197/month — or you cancel any time during the 14-day window and pay nothing. You always keep the book, the audiobook, and the searchable PDF — even if you cancel.

Do I have to be ordained to qualify?

No. The book and the [+pass+] work for licensed ministers, ordained ministers, ordained church staff, and the board members who serve alongside them. Title and salary don’t matter. If you’re carrying responsibility for the church’s legal or operational side, this is for you.

When does STRONGCHURCHES start charging?

Day 15. $197/mo. Cancel anytime in your dashboard or by emailing [email protected]. Cancel inside the first 14 days and you owe nothing. Cancel after, and you keep access through the end of your billing period.

What if I don’t have time to use the platform during the 14-day trial?

You don’t have to. The [+pass+] is yours regardless — the audiobook, the searchable PDF, the office hours seat (which carries forward whether you stay on the platform or not for at least 60 days post-cancel), and the legal audit are all yours to use on your own timeline. The 14-day trial is the bonus, not the obligation.

Is this legal advice?

No. Everything in the book and on the platform is general legal information for educational purposes. For your specific church’s specific facts, you’ll want a licensed attorney to review your situation. We’re licensed to practice in Texas and Virginia. The book and platform do not create an attorney-client relationship.

Will what I share inside the [+pass+] or the platform be privileged?

No attorney-client relationship is formed by downloading the book, taking the [+pass+], or starting the STRONGCHURCHES trial. If you need privileged advice on specific facts, schedule a separate consultation through ChurchLawStrategy.com.

What happens after I sign up?

You’ll get a confirmation email with: (a) the book PDF, (b) the audiobook + searchable PDF download links, (c) your STRONGCHURCHES login, (d) the calendar invite for the next monthly Group Office Hours, and (e) Regan’s personal Concierge Onboarding email — usually within 24 hours of signup — telling you exactly which of the 10 toolkits to open first based on your persona.

Can I cancel STRONGCHURCHES?

Yes. Cancel any time within the 14-day trial and you owe nothing — and you keep the book, the audiobook, the searchable PDF, and the legal audit report (if you ran it). Cancel after the 14 days and you keep access through the end of your current billing period. No phone calls, no retention pitch — cancel from your dashboard or one email.

Is this for me if my church is small / a plant / bivocational?

Yes. The book and the platform were designed by Regan after 23 years serving churches of every size — from rural plants meeting in storefronts to multi-site campuses. The same 10 chapters and the same 10 toolkits apply. Title and salary don’t matter. Most of the pastors I’ve helped most are bivocational, lead small congregations, and run their administrative life off a phone.

A note from Regan

Here’s what I’ve learned after 23 years of helping pastors actually finish what they started…

The pastors who go ALL IN are the ones whose churches end up actually being protected, actually being legally settled, actually running with the kind of operational rhythm that lets them spend Sunday morning thinking about people instead of paperwork.

Not because they made more money. Not because their churches were bigger. Because they made a decision. They downloaded the book. They opened the book. They got to this page. And then they took the next step.

The book will teach you what to do. The [+pass+] gives you everything you need to actually do it — the audiobook, the office hours, the legal audit, and a 14-day trial of the platform that holds all 10 toolkits. $0 today. Keep the book either way.
