The Journey discipleship session launched a new series on Dean Briggs’ Ekklesia Rising, beginning with Chapter 1 at Caesarea Philippi. Fred and Sue Rowe shared how Jesus chose the very gates of Hades—the darkest ground—to reveal His identity and announce His ekklesia, a governing community of authority and prayer. Voices from the nations testified to the urgency of this revelation, the mistranslation of ekklesia as “church,” and the call to rediscover our legislative authority in Christ. The session carried prophetic weight, fresh unity, and a charge to stand as His ekklesia on contested ground.
