Exploring More

Michael and SJ continue discussing the Kingdom. Our identity and how we identify with God and others provides a critical foundation for relationships in this borderless Kingdom. Scripture provides examples such as potter and clay, vine and branches, but we also read about being a friend of God. Is it a good thing to be “used by God” or to be a “tool in the Master’s hands?” Explore more about your identity in the Kingdom.

Jesus talked about one topic so many times that it might be His favorite: the Kingdom. Michael and SJ launch a series on how the Kingdom is a central, foundational framework for understanding all that Jesus has for us. Jesus came to save the world, His Kingdom, in a way that was unexpected. Today He still invites us into the Kingdom and encourages us to invite others.

Michael and SJ post a series of questions to consider while walking in the new year. Grab a journal, a quiet spot, and clear your appointments.

Father, what was last year about for me?  

Father, what were you doing, or trying to do in me, for me, or through me?  

Jesus, where was the enemy particularly working?  

Jesus, are there any places still unhealed where the Kingdom of Darkness has authority in my Life? 

Holy Spirit, what do you have for me in the new year?  

Holy Spirit, what kind of Training is ahead? Is there a word or few words you want me to give my heart’s attention to?

Father, to what part of my masculine heart and masculine journey do you want to bring validation and initiation?

In the second episode of this series on Walking in the New Year, Michael and SJ discuss some of the upcoming resources that will be available in 2022: The Deepening Journey for women and the book King Me geared toward men. Mid-January propels most people to rev the engine of busyness. As one goes about each day, consider the following question: What am I bringing into the next ____? It takes discipline to shift into a lower gear to consider the lens by which we examine the next appointment, conversation, or interaction.

In a World where Words Matter, Michael and SJ discuss the terminology surrounding Zoweh. Some examples including calling Zoweh a Mission vs a Ministry. Some other terms are Team vs Staff, the Tower vs the Office, and the War Room vs. the Board Room. While many churches and parachurch organizations use increasingly institutionalized language, Zoweh strives to facilitate relationships, allies, and redemptive community.

Michael and SJ continue the discussion around Resolutions, Rituals, and Routines and how to move into a space of solitude and reflection around the New Year. The goal is to connect with God like one would over a slow candlelit dinner with cloth napkins and not settle for inhaling fast food while speeding through traffic to the next appointment. Romance is to pursue and to be pursued. What has been crowding out or what has suspended your intimacy with God? Seek stillness and invite God to speak to you…and wait with your pen and journal.
