TODAY AT METRON - 11/16/25

"...This series is perfection."

- BJB

"I especially enjoyed your teaching technique you used today. Language Arts teachers use the character development interactive activity that you used at the beginning of your lesson. You read a portion of the sentence, you opened the floor, and asked everyone to identify “character traits” about Nicodemus. I used to use that in my class as well. Good job."

- RF

"This is joy!"

- LN

TODAY AT METRON - 11/2/25

"I FELT every part of your word today. Thank you."

- BB

“Maybe being born again isn’t about becoming someone new, but unlearning everything you thought you knew...” Today, I realized that I am being born again every time I sit under your teaching - a quiet undoing; an awakening into that which has been forever true…"

- TC

"Wow...today’s teaching was so good! When you blew the wind of the Holy Spirit, I felt it so strong, I felt healing, strength & power rising up in my spirit.  It was building through your whole message. Thank you so much!"

- LN

MEDITATION WEEKEND XXVII - LAKE BLUE RIDGE - 10/25- 10/26/25

…it washes over me like a hug simply hearing the story told…what a gift…when a gentle breeze greeted us at home it pointed out the contrast with true stillness—the weekend’s theme of stillness and quiet—making the wave a miraculous prophetic hug"

- BJB

"Jim Swilley, this was so significant! You came up early and chose the perfect place, and I know the peaceful, supernatural effect of this “stillness” was exactly what everyone needed."

- DS

 "...last night we all ended up talking about the impact you’ve had on our lives. You are very valuable & important to us & our sphere of influence. You reach more people than you could ever imagine.  We love you!! ”

- LN

"...If I could use only one word to describe Metron Meditation Weekend XXVII, it would be “stillness”… In that stillness I heard the applause of heaven as the wind whispered through the trees; I felt the rhythm of life in the gentle ebb and flow of the lake as it lapped the shoreline; I saw a dove of peace taking shape in the clouds overhead as Jim Swilley laid his hands on each of us; and in the sunset I was reminded how truly beautiful endings can be…And when the “fire rainbow” appeared in the sky, I felt such incredible joy - it was like discovering that miracles are real for the very first time! I am beyond grateful for the sacred stillness of this weekend, and for the presence of the Divine in each and every person in the circle that is Metron…"

- TC

"This weekend was amazing! A super calm, beautiful backdrop for a very unique meditation weekend!..."

- RS

"I loved every minute! It was more than I could ask or think. It’s remarkable how they are all different. I just know inside to go expecting miracles & magic & connection."

- LN

"I just wanted to say thank you for curating these Meditation Weekends! The sacred stillness of #27 was so needed in this season of my life..."

"Bishop, this sermon has to be among your all-time golden hits!...That's what your messages bring to us who are blessed to have you to help us grow during our spiritual journey. You put up road signs, leave lamps at crossroads, send reminders to look up, not down. You help us to look in the mirror and see more clearly. I'm blessed to have you as my pastor..."

"Bishop, thanks for making it make sense. Thanks for connecting so many dots and where you've given me a clearer picture of love, life, God, even myself and where to also just let people and things BE."

- KC
