Community Culture & Best Practices. 

Welcome to The Gathering Field Collective

This is a Kingdom-centered community for writers, authors, and creatives who are building books, offers, and platforms with clarity, integrity, and sustainability. This space exists for shared growth, not performance. We gather here to support one another, to give and receive wisdom freely, and to steward what we are building with intention. If you are here, you belong here.

If you joined through the one-time offer, your access to this community is lifetime access for as long as this community exists. There are no renewals, subscriptions, or ongoing fees associated with that purchase. The value of this space grows over time through shared wisdom, contribution, and collective leadership.

Lifetime access does not mean unmoderated access. This community is stewarded intentionally so it can remain healthy, safe, and fruitful for all members.

Where We Leave Sheaves and Glean Together

The heart of this community is mutual support. The value here is not only in the help you receive, but also in the insight you leave behind for others. Like a field prepared for gleaning, this community grows strong when members intentionally share what they have learned, what has shifted, and what has helped them move forward.

If you have made progress of any kind, you are already ahead of someone else. That makes you a leader here.

How This Community Is Organized

The Gathering Field Collective is organized around Message, Voice, and Platform so you can focus on what matters most in your current season without overwhelm. Message is where you clarify what you are saying, who you are serving, and what your work leads people to do. Voice is where you strengthen how you communicate through writing, teaching, speaking, podcasting, or video. Platform is where you build visibility, systems, and sales in a way that supports long-term growth.

You will also find collaboration spaces designed to support shared growth, accountability, and partnership.

How to Use This Space Well

You do not need to be active everywhere. Begin in the circle that reflects your current focus and give yourself permission to grow one step at a time. Before posting, take time to read and glean from what others have shared. When you ask a question, share context so others can serve you well. When you have clarity or experience to offer, share it generously so others may benefit.

This community works best when we give before we ask and when we engage with humility and intention.

The Gathering Field

The Gathering Field is the most valuable area of this community. This is where breakthroughs, lessons learned, clarity gained, and wisdom earned are intentionally left behind so others can glean from them when they need it most.

We do not harvest only for ourselves here. We leave sheaves so others can gather in their own time.

How Heather Shows Up

Heather steps into the community periodically to bring clarity, alignment, and guidance through curated questions and shared insight. Questions are gathered and addressed in ways that serve the whole community rather than creating dependence on constant access.

Her role is not to be everywhere, but to help keep this space focused, healthy, and aligned.

Community Standards and Boundaries

This community exists to support growth, service, and shared stewardship. Participation here requires respect for others, integrity in communication, and alignment with basic Christian moral principles.

Behavior that breaks trust, disrupts safety, or undermines the purpose of this community is not permitted. This includes unsolicited pitching or promotion, repeated self-serving behavior without contribution, private messages sent without consent, manipulative or deceptive communication, divisive speech, disrespectful or demeaning language, and any form of harassment, shaming, or intimidation.

This is not a place for personal attacks, hostile debate, or public call-outs.
Disagreement and correction are handled with humility and care.

Warning and Removal Process

Most issues are handled through a clear and gracious process.

A first violation will receive a private warning with guidance for correction.
A second violation will result in a final warning.
Continued disregard for community standards after a second warning will result in removal from the community and loss of access.

This process exists to protect the body, not to shame individuals.

Immediate Removal Clause

Any blatant, cruel, or aggressive act of attack toward another member may result in immediate removal without warning. This includes threats, targeted harassment, abusive language, or behavior that clearly violates Christian moral conduct and the spirit of this community.

The wellbeing and safety of the community will always take precedence over individual access.

Stewarding This Space Together

This community works when we steward it together. Read generously. Share thoughtfully. Support others as you are able. Honor boundaries. Give correction with care and receive it with humility.

The Gathering Field Collective is not built around one voice, but around a body of people committed to growth, service, and integrity. We are glad you are here.
