Exploring More

303 episodes - English - Latest episode: 4 days ago - ★★★★★ - 81 ratings

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.
