Zoweh's Exploring More Podcast is an invitation to conversations committed to sharing our discoveries of the wild and wonderful Kingdom of God… how it works, who we are in it, and the Love and Life that is constantly pursuing us. The Kingdom of God isn’t easy nor is everything in our story good—there are predators and parasites in the spiritual realm, another kingdom, the kingdom of darkness that exists and violently opposes our discovering and becoming more.

Exploring More is hosted by Michael Thompson, produced by Zoweh, and recorded in Durham, NC.

    What is Wrong with Men? | What is Missing...

    What is Wrong with Men? | What is Missing...

    Is there something missing from masculinity that needs to be redeemed? In this week's episode of The Exploring More Podcast, hosts Michael Thompson and SJ Jennings embark on a thoughtful discussion about the struggles faced by men today. Rather than focusing on what men are doing wrong, they explore what might be missing from a man's life and what has happened to men over time. This deep dive into the concept of restoration sets the stage for further conversations on the topic.  Michael and SJ emphasize the masculine journey and their understanding of men's roles within the Kingdom. The episode serves as an entry point into a broader, more intricate discussion filled with historical context and various facets. Quoting Graham Cook, they highlight the idea that God doesn’t see what's wrong with you; He sees what's missing from the image you were created to be.  Join Michael and SJ as they guide listeners through a conversation about walking with God to restore ourselves to how He sees us. Tune in to this episode of The Exploring More Podcast to delve into your heart and discover what God is speaking to you.

    God Still Speaks

    God Still Speaks

    This week on The Exploring More Podcast, we are diving into the last part of our series called "The 4 Assumptions," which originated from our weekend events. In this episode, Michael Thompson and SJ Jennings explore assumption number four: "God Still Speaks" a topic they frequently revisit. They emphasize why this assumption is pivotal for experiencing the fullness of the gospel. They discuss the interconnected nature of all four assumptions and highlight how God's ongoing communication encompasses them all.  The conversation begins by grounding the idea of God's desire and ability to speak to us in biblical teachings. From there, they transition into practical insights on how to implement this understanding in daily life. They consistently affirm the importance of these four assumptions in fully embracing the Gospel: living as Kingdom Men and Women, engaging in spiritual warfare, embracing restoration, and recognizing God's continuous communication.  Join Michael and SJ in this finale of this series on the Exploring More Podcast as they unpack these concepts, offering a biblical approach on how to go about life with Jesus.

    Restoration is Available

    Restoration is Available

    This week on The Exploring More Podcast, we continue our compelling series titled "The 4 Assumptions," inspired by our weekend events. In this episode, Michael Thompson and SJ Jennings explore assumption number three: “Restoration is Available.” The concept of restoration being available suggests both a state to be restored from and an ideal to be restored to, as an image bearer. The conversation delves into these aspects, outlining what the journey of restoring your heart with Jesus entails. Zoweh considers this foundational enough to include in our 4 assumptions. By embracing these assumptions—such as living as a Kingdom Man or Woman, acknowledging spiritual warfare, recognizing the availability of restoration, and understanding that God continues to speak—Zoweh believes one can fully experience the richness of the gospel.  Join Michael and SJ in this enlightening episode of the Exploring More Podcast as they delve into these concepts, offering practical insights and perspectives on how to integrate these truths into everyday life.
