Our Purpose
The purpose of The KNOW Sin Zone is to narrow the separation between God and our humanity by identifying and admitting the innate strongholds and temporal substances keeping us separated from God. Our training aims to S.H.A.P.E. (Spiritual, Heart, Abilities, Personal Style, Experience), Spiritual Reflexes into the lives of those we train, turning them into God-conscious Human "Beings," content and confidence in their skin. Joy-filled people who accept life on life's terms and play the game of life with a consistent and winning rhythm. These people have "Found Their Games" and chose to serve God through purposed lives, overcoming the desire to play life and attempting to "Have It All” by playing it both ways from the middle. However, the middle is where the biggest risk comes in. Let me make a golf analogy to back this up.
I learned early on while playing competitive golf on a course I was not familiar with that attempting to steer the ball carefully to the center opened me up to a 100% margin of error due to my compulsion to try to control. In golf terms, "steering" the ball leads to anything but control and will typically cause shots to go both right and left. On most golf courses, the majority of trouble will be found on The Left. Hmm! It sounds like life today! THE CENTER IS AN ILLUSION IN LIFE and GOLF. in life, it's a breeding ground for fear, anxiety, procrastination, and shame being most prevalent. It's a wallowing place where life's "undecideds live. We shape our students to take a stand. Right up front, they must determine,
- "WHOSE they are,
- "WHAT" they believe,
- "WHY" they believe it,
- and this S.H.A.P.E.S - "WHO" they are.
The KNOW Sin Zone uses a practical theological approach to understanding the Christian life and how it applies to everyday life. As its name implies, practical theology is "the study of theology in a way intended to make it useful or applicable." The KNOW Sin Zone is life's "Red Zone," where those intoxicated on KNOWLEDGE and REASON live trapped in a downward spiral of quiet desperation with themselves in the center of their existence. They run from task to task missing most of their life, numbing themselves in their quest to "Have It All." They bob and weave while they flirt with life's out-of-bounds lines to achieve self-fulfillment. Underneath it all is a deep-seated fear and anxiety deceptively disguised as self-protective confidence as they desperately perpetrate a cover-up of who they really are. Most, unfortunately, they continue to live with the gnawing feeling that "Something" is missing deceiving themselves into believing they've been cheated and are entitled to "more" of the good life. The fact is the Bible tells us these people are on the path of a slow, agonizing and unfulfilled death in their innate effort to close the separation between themselves and God, only to perish enslaved as masters of their demise. As the saying goes, "Mirror, Mirror on the wall, the Mirror isn't on the wall at all. The reflection I see comes deep from within me." Tragically, this group leaves this world, never getting to know God and His nature to an eternity of incessant inconvenience, putting it mildly.
JEKYLL AND HYDE
You've probably heard the saying, "He or she is a real Jekyll and Hyde." However, don't cast this aside as a loose saying; there's a critical biblical message behind it. Let's take a look.
Dr. Henry Jekyll, a physician, and scientist, began an experiment to discover the human soul. He believed that every soul consists of good and evil, which live in continuous and inherent conflict. Jekyll felt that if a man could get the fill of his immoral self, he would eventually eliminate that side of himself.
Carefully, Jekyll begins the experiment and makes two potions. One transforms him into Edward Hyde, and the second transforms him back into Henry Jekyll. Much to his shock, the immoral behavior continued until Jekyll went to bed and awoke Edward Hyde. Alarmed that he turned into Edward Hyde without taking the potion, Jekyll became concerned that Hyde's character might take him over. Unfortunately, it was already too late. Jekyll had given so much power to his evil side that Hyde became an irrevocable part of Jekyll's character. Desperate to return to his moral side, Hyde kills himself, releasing Jekyll and Hyde.
What is it that makes our Hyde side so attractive? We’re born, learn right from wrong, and then reach an age where we push the limits, some further than others. “Sow our oats,” as the saying goes. Then, we hit an age where it’s time to bring back our Jekyll side - hopefully.
During our research and observations over the years, I’ve asked certain ethnic groups whose children seem to be excelling what they’re doing differently, as many children born in the USA increase the demand for vape shops. Check out our “Youth Training” and in particular, “The Kitchen Table.” CLICK
What was it Satan said to Adam and Eve? "Surely, you will not die. For God knows when you eat of the Tree of Knowledge, you will be like God" and control good and evil as need be.
In James 1:8, we read, "A double-minded person is unstable in all their ways." Those living in The KNOW Sin Zone are double-minded. God is nothing more than a convenience that is supposed to be available as needed - on their terms. All other times those in The KNOW Sin Zone push God out to the periphery of their lives as they seek everything they are "entitled" to. Their lives are a gamble. When life deals them a winning hand, they live to wonder when their luck will change and vice versa. The majority of Christ-followers live in The KNOW Sin Zone due to the nonchalant manner in which the Bible is communicated these days. This seems to have shaped a boomerang effect that has turned on the Christian church and has become a major contributing factor to its decline.
The KNOW Sin Zone Training Facility: Our training facility is state-of-the-art. Here our members come to KNOW the blaring strongholds that self-sabotage them from achieving their desired success. ere they will learn about what we term "A Hard Reset." In sports terms, it's an emotional and spiritual cleanse using our extensive custom training assessments developed over the years designed to reformat and renew the mind. It consists of Spiritual Cardio and Spiritual Strength Training consisting of tested affirmations that load new data into the heart and mind.
Rigorously identifying one's character defects and the various salves used to cover up these defects is how one can hope to "narrow the gap" (The KNOW Sin Zone) between God's design for humanity and individual humanness. Once these defects are identified, the best we can hope for is a consciously humble and repentant self that keeps us on notice that we are flawed and humbly aware that we would be living in eternal abandon without the person of Jesus Christ.
THE BASIS BEHIND OUR TRAINING
Is a Champion in life, business, or sport Born or Made? This question would undoubtedly have a blank check attached to it if solved. What is it inside of Jack Nicklaus that caused him to not only make a crucial putt, but the ball first stops on the lip of the cup, turning so slowly the camera can read the name on it, giving the crowd the perfect timing to build into a dramatic deafening roar before the ball curls into the hole? Or Michael Jordan not just making the winning shot at the buzzer but the ball circles the rim before going through the net for the win? Or Derek Jeter throws the runner out at first, but he bobbles the ball and still makes the play - while lying on his back?
In sports, they are said to have "IT"For our purposes, "IT" stands for "Intercessory Triumph." "I.T." and comes from "Doing What Most Won't." From not just using God-given talents and gifts but keeping them purposed through a mastery of the basics. I.T. comes from doing everything, whether in word or deed, by serving something greater than ourselves and playing the game of life, "Straight Down the Middle," never flirting with the OB Lines. I.T. shapes a Rhythm to the Game of Life few have.
Perhaps you're one of those or know someone who had a God-given ability and today is known as that person who threw it all away or, as some may say, "just plain blew it." No one just plain blows it. Something holds them back, which discourages them or causes them to just plain self-sabotage themselves. We refer to that as their "key-log." Our purpose is to find the "key-log" that has our students stuck and lead them to find "I.T."
Our Coaching and Training Assessments have been custom-developed. They have been put through rigorous clinical trials and tested personally over the last 25 years. Our goal is to develop a "Whole, Balanced, and Complete" person, Physically, Emotionally, Spiritually, Intellectually, Financially, and Socially. THEY WILL WORK IF YOU WORK THEM and ARE WILLING TO DO WHAT MOST WON'T!
