31 Then Jesus’ mother and brothers arrived. Standing outside, they sent someone in to call him. 32 A crowd was sitting around him, and they told him, “Your mother and brothers are outside looking for you.”
33 “Who are my mother and my brothers?” he asked.
34 Then he looked at those seated in a circle around him and said, “Here are my mother and my brothers! 35 Whoever does God’s will is my brother and sister and mother.

Join us for our 2nd Open Topic Zoom!
Due to the great time we had in our first event, we are going make a 2nd Open Topic Zoom available before year's end. This is an "ask me anything" style connection where we talk about what you want to talk about and explore the subjects you want to grow in!
Hi Everyone!
Wanted to drop a line here to say, "I love you all!" and that I've been traveling the last week+ from St Louis to Tampa Bay. Things are going really well and God is good!
Last weekend, I facilitated a Story of God with 20 leaders of Life Church (Carlyle, IL) and spoke in their last Sunday service. The Story of God was life-changing and the lights of the gospel came on brighter than ever for many. The Sunday service saw us all drawn closer to God AND each other through gratitude. Glory to God!
This week I was blessed to be a part of a minister's retreat in Destin, FL with 15 leaders from around the country. Amazing connections were made with pastors who long to grow in discipleship within both themselves and the communities they lead. There are things in the works with some of these leaders to help them build and shape the way they are approaching spiritual formation in their churches. I couldn't be more excited about this as well! One pastor said that he and his team have been praying for years for someone to help them in this area!
Now in the Tampa Bay area, I'm catching up with longtime friends after not seeing them for a few years. Meeting and spending time with leaders from the church they're a part of has been incredible as well!
I was hoping to have a few more spaces on this trip to get some content recorded and shared this week but, due to so much non stop connection & travel, that hasn't been the case. The plan is to drop part 2 of the current Wondervotional Series on gratitude the first of next week and part 3 the end of next week.
Please keep me, these developments and return2wonder in your prayers. I long to "Guide Growth Through Wonder" everywhere I am led.
I'm deeply thankful for each of you and look forward with great anticipation to all that God has in store for you!
Talk soon!

Appreciate the update, but no worries about content uploads over here - I'm still trying to catch up on what I've missed in the past two weeks ;)
We're excited for this! Haven't submitted a question but pondering on it!
Tuesdays 7pm-8pm (PT)
(October 3, 10, 17, 24)
We will explore together in discussion a life changing book that will help us examine and heal from spiritual abuse and bad leadership in general. This book will also inspire a spiritual understanding of power.
You can purchase the book here. (The audiobook is fantastic and only 1hr 42mins long)

This Study Group is virtual and covers all four days. Please register for each Tuesday.
I read this one several years ago (probably at RW’s recommendation). Great book with some powerful messages that have stuck with me.
Welcome Jason! This is awesome! I read it once a year all through my 20's and it profoundly affected my life for good and helped heal, and put into better context, many wounds.
Good Morning!
After experimenting a bit with different options for our Topic Boards within Community, and how to make it easy for new subscribers to get going and not miss content, I've decided at this time to make all CONTENT Topics (that I'm the sole poster in) such as: Archive, CONTEXTUS, Pneuma, WONDERVOTIONAL automatically followed by subscribers. This is going to be much better in the long run I believe rather than trying to remind every new subscriber to "FOLLOW".
While they can't be "unfollowed", you can easily control notifications for each topic by selecting the bell icon "🔔" under the specific topic on the ALL TOPICS page.
NOTE: We will keep working and adjusting as needed. Please share any feedback. Also, for now, various Connection focused topics, (Adventures, Motorcycles) will still need to be FOLLOWED manually by the community member. That aspect of Community is going to take some time to grow but, at this time, the list of automatically followed topics seems to be a good starting point and things we don't want new folks to miss.
Have an amazing day!
Question! Is there a way to have a "notification bell" on your user profile so it's easy to see posts and comments that you missed since you last logged in? I am getting all of the emails, but it would be so nice to have something that would help me easily navigate to the new notifications when I log in directly to the site, rather than linking thru the email for each update. Does that make sense?
Totally understand. The Podia platform is currently "email" heavy for its notifications, etc. They are steadily bringing more features all the time and I just saw this week talk about this very thing from an "app notifications" perspective. We'll see. Hopefully, in time they will add those features beyond email.
As for posts across all topics in r2w Community, (and you may already know this but just in case) your Community "Home" page will have all new posts, of Topics you follow, in order with newest posts at the top. That's one way to check it apart from email.
However you have to scan for comments or replies (apart from email notifications when someone replies directly to you). Also, you will get notified on posts you make in topics that are open for everyone to post... for example if you post a prayer need in "Prayer" (as a post not a comment) you will get notified (via email) regarding all comments to your post.
Thank you so much for the question and your amazing support & participation!! Let's hope the platform continues to develop these features and make notifications more streamlined.
PS.. LET ME KNOW in the comments how you were notified of this "reply" ...THX!
Thanks babe for the shoutout! I love you. <3 HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY to all the moms out there!!!
Hahhaha, these memes are fantastic!! LOL!
