Wave Ministry School exists for people who are already in the arena. People faithfully living out their calling in everyday life. Whether you're a doctor, teacher, business owner, artist, parent, nonprofit leader, student, or working professional, you don't need to step away from your current assignment to grow in the things of God.
Evening sessions accommodate the person working a 9 to 5 or running a business. We believe five weeks is all it takes to walk away transformed. Our ask: come fully committed to the process and the inner working of the Holy Spirit.
Wave Ministry School was born out of Two Trees Church, a house Brad and Shanna Lawson planted in Ventura over ten years ago, rooted in worship, the Word, and the presence of God.
After a Send Night gathering, something broke open. 250 people showed up for the first session: doctors, business owners, teachers, parents, students. People from every walk of life, hungry for more of God. The Wave was here, and it hasn't stopped since.
Brad Lawson is the founding pastor of Two Trees Church. He and his wife Shanna have spent 10 years building a house in Ventura rooted in worship, the Word, and the presence of God.
Brad planted Two Trees Church ten years ago in a city where he didn't know anyone. What started as a small gathering has become a house of worship, prayer, and kingdom activation in Ventura, with connections reaching from Tijuana to Bali.
A human life lies dormant, like a seed yet to blossom, until an encounter with the Living God brings it forth and calls it into its true identity in Christ.
I heard a pastor once say: "In quantum physics, a particle becomes a wave, depending on how you interact with it." That's a powerful idea. And mostly true, except the particle was a wave before you touched it.
Same way you press a button, and music fills the room. Or set down the remote and get off the couch. Or walk out your door and greet the world. Or wake a sleeping child.
In quantum physics, a particle sits latent, dormant and unrevealed, until an interaction unlocks the true expression of the design.
I believe it's the same with us.
A human life lies dormant, in a diminished existence, like a seed yet to blossom, until an encounter with the Living God brings it forth, and forms it through a culture of abiding, and calls it into its true identity in Christ.
You were born to reign with Jesus at the right hand of God.
We are born to be inheritors of an indestructible life and an immovable kingdom. God has a dream for us: to walk with Him in the "wind of the day." Like Adam, in the protection and covering of our garden relationship, God designed our life to flourish in covenant relationship with Jesus Christ.
When we're born again, we are resurrected, redeemed, reconciled, and restored. When we marry into the family of God, we're invited to partake of His divine nature. The problem? We've been through things. Many of us feel like we're forever "almost" there.
We muscle the Christian life to work. We strive to do ministry the way we read about it in the gospels, the way we saw it happen in the early church. Still, many of us remain bored in prayer and bothered by daily irritations at work. We borrow Christian catchphrases that make it sound like we're living the abundant life, when the reality is we aren't where we want to be, or who we want to be.
So where do we go from here?
The truth about our lived experience in the Kingdom of God is that most of us are walking wounded.
We've allowed far too many words, and the weight of what's happened to us, and the fear of being exposed to sink way too deep inside. We've allowed these things to prevent or delay our entry and adoption.
Ephesians 2:10 says,
"We are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God has prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them."
Our hope is for this course to radically alter our lived ministry experience. Through the next five weeks, we'll discover how God feels about us, what the Bible says about us, and who we were born to be in Christ before the foundation of the world.
Thanks for applying! Our team will be in touch with next steps soon.
