MEDITATION WEEKEND XXIX - TYBEE ISLAND - 8/1-2/26

"Wow!! That’s such a beautiful, large (special) crowd you guys had in attendance for MW29!! I know so many life changing and uplifting experiences were had by all! I’ll never forget the very first one, when the sea parted in half and we all walked out IN it on dry ground! I knew that day that you had been chosen to be the Leader of the largest ministry in the world! Suddenly, The Universe was your new church!"

- DS

"...Thank you! And a big huge thank you to you Jim Swilley. It was an AMAZING weekend. I’m blown away by the goodness and love I was surrounded by."

- LN

"...MW29 was wonder-filled! Thank you so much for taking the time to make these gatherings possible...

- TC

"So grateful for my weekend...Super grateful to Bishop Jim Swilley and Metron Community for their welcome for Meditation Weekend. I am still reflecting and overwhelmed with the love. Grateful to hug so many good humans."

- BC

"29 was divine!...Hearing everyone’s reasons for being at MW WAS the meditation for me. Each person explained their “why” and it resonated deeply. Meditation Weekend 29 was also about conversations. Avery asked me Saturday night what happens each time I gift paintings. The best way I can describe it is that it’s a feeling I get and then I hear who the paintings are for. I can’t explain it. Avery then said that I have a gift. I’d never really thought of it that way to be honest, but it’s true. I somehow know someone needs a painting and pretty much 100% of the time, the painting gets to the right person...right on time. I now believe that the gifts I’ve given with the paintings Bishop has painted are meant to unlock the gifts inside that person they may not know they have or haven’t used in a while. Bishop is anointed, so the paintings are as well. In turn, giving the gift for me unlocks or enhances my gift. We’re all connected. Our energy connects us. The Energy Circle Saturday night was one of the most powerful events of my life. Thank you Metron Family. Thank you Jim and Ken! Without you I wouldn’t be the person I am today. I will continue to use my gift for good. The grade for MW29 is A+! Love y’all!"

MEDITATION WEEKEND XXVIII - JEKYLL ISLAND/DRIFTWOOD BEACH - 4/4-5/26

"You did that this weekend, Bish...This weekend was perfection..."

- BJB

  "There are many words to describe this weekend but the one that I’d use to describe it is exquisite."

- EJ

"I am grateful for the renewing of my spirit...connecting with new folks and reconnecting with beloved friends helped me achieve that..."

- JT

"Thank you for this weekend. You are definitely a visionary and one who manifests. God is in the midst of His people."

- RF

"This weekend was truly magic!!!!"

- BJB

"Now that I’ve had some time to think about Meditation Weekend 28, the biggest takeaway for me was that we are living our stories...As Bishop has taught before, our lives are The Gospel According To (fill in the blank). I know Bishop jokes about retelling his stories. I learned a long time ago that his stories (and ours) are like diamonds with many facets. I know I’ve learned something new every time I’ve heard Bishop tell a story I’ve heard him tell before. It’s the same with our stories. We must be open to learning different things each time we go back to a previous negative chapter. If we’re not open to learning new things, we’ll continue being stuck in a quagmire..."

- EJ

"What a beautiful weekend filled with love, family and friends. Thank you, Jim Swilley, for a powerful dedication. I wouldn’t have anyone else dedicate my son but you. Blessings."

- VE

"Best Easter Ever! I love my faith family"

- LL

SUNDAY AT METRON - 3/1/26

"When I look at this gorgeous piece of art created by Rosalind Franklin, I find it to be such a beautiful depiction of Metron Community…The open book speaks to a safe space - a sanctuary - where vulnerability is not only welcomed, but held sacred…On each page our individual stories are written and bound together, not in perfection, but in the love and laughter that is Metron…And in the bold colors and the untamed arrangement of the flowers, I see a beautifully organic community doing life together…Thank you, Jim Swilley, for creating and leading Metron Community…Perhaps the most beautiful part of all is that this book is still being written…"

- TP 

"Today was perfection. As I suspected, there were laughs and tears. I HAD to be in the Atlanta Theater space with everyone. It was a fitting send-off for a wonderful season. I'm looking forward to seeing what's next!"

- EJ

"I loved everything about the service this morning! Thank you for sharing with us the intimate details of your Mom's final hours and moments. What a blessing and honor to hear the beautiful story of her crossing over. It was perfect, and I'm so thankful that God gave you this heavenly experience to cherish! What a wonderful way to close out this season of Metron in the Theatre. The thing is, Bishop...Wherever YOU are is METRON, and forever this shall be! "

- DS

"The journey with you all of these years has been epic. The next chapter will be just as exciting. Just wanted to give another shout out to Roz.... The setting with treats on it which had pages to a book pulled out was incredible there is meaning to the stack of books in picture as well."

- BJB

TODAY AT METRON - 2/8/26

"I just listened to your message tonight, and for the first time in a long time I felt God in your message. Thank you so much."

- DL

"Bish...Thank you for today! Please never stop sharing your personal stories. The human way you navigate through life helps us all."

- BJB

SUNDAY AT METRON - 1/18/26

"I was able to ‘breathe’ deeper today. Such confirmation, affirmation, solution focusing, reconciling the old with my ‘new normal’, motivation and assurance that I am ‘lifing’ specially designed for me. ‘Where He leads me, I will follow…’ Thank you, Bishop for never letting me down when it comes to the ‘manna’ for THIS day."

- CP

"I just finished watching your message from this morning for the second time! This one message spoke to my heart on many different levels. Thank you for being so transparent, and for sharing your life stories with us. Your story IS the Word. Even in the presence of death, you minister such life."

- DS

"Thank you for all you do. Even with all you have on your plate, you give us what we need."

- BJB

"This morning was such a good gathering at Metron. It was like we were all sitting around and just being human, and having human experiences. You're doing great throughout all of this. Your mom is, and has been, in good hands"

- EWS

"Loved your teaching today, as always. Agreeing with you for the best."

- TJR

 

TODAY AT METRON -1/11/26

"I laughed and cried with you today. As always, you spoke to my heart. Thank you."

- TJR

"Today's message was directed towards us. We continue to be fed, and we appreciate you...We love you both, and we are excited about the next installment in this series." 

- DH 

"Today was another one of those days where I feel like the message was specifically for me! I left today feeling rejuvenated and empowered. That's the way you should feel from your spiritual leader. People who don't have that don't know what they are missing! Thank you Bish!"

- BJB

"Your comments today on transparency made me think that many are afraid to be. So many people hide in untruths. I believe so many in fundamentalism don't think they can ever be good enough. Also, the kairos thing gives place to miracles  It's the fullness of time so anything can happen. Chronos says No, Kairos says anything is possible."

- BLR

"Today's message was, as are all of your teachings...timely. The importance of "carpe'ing those diems" is top of mind. I'm taking your advice and will live every moment to the fullest."

- EJ

"This message you spoke today! So encouraging, assuring, enlightening, and impactful!"

- DS

 

SUNDAY AT METRON - 1/4/26

"Your first installment in the first series of "2026" did not disappoint!! It's a brand new year, and your first fruits were plentiful! The First governs the Rest! The atomosphere is charged with possiblity! I'm so excited for Part 2!"

- DS

"I am so intrigued by this new upcoming series. I have been so interested in Kairos time and looking forward to learning more."

- BJB

"I swear your teaching has a way of opening the eyes of my heart to see exactly what I need to see in the exact moment I need to see it…"

- TC

"...Your light...lights my path too!!"
