What is Sozocial

Sozocial.com is a network of related sites focused on exploring who we are in Jesus.  It’s about growth, identity, discovery -and the love of God.

“Sozocial” is a word, a concept of my own making. In general it means to bring all that God has for us together in community, and into the world around us.

The name comes from a mix of Greek (“Sozo”) and English (“Social” – well, Latin in it’s roots actually). In the Bible the word “Sozo” (Sodzo) means “saved, healed, set free, made whole, kept safe“. The dictionary.com definition of social can be “living or disposed to live in companionship with others or in a community, rather than in isolation”.

Sozocial – Press

Sozocial Press is a magazine/newspaper style website that contains topics, resources, and people that have been influential to my Spiritual walk. It is really a big resource pool to dig in and find video, audio, books, and web resources. The sections of the site cover:

• People – those who have influence me Spiritually. Some seem intellectual, some creative, some more mystical
• Spirit – things that have to do with the Holy Spirit.
• Think – Is faith rational? Are there “real” reasons for believing in God, in Jesus? This is the section for Christian apologetics.
• Dreams – this actually fits under the “Spirit” category, but it’s a big part of my life, so it gets it’s own tab.
• Create – there is a renaissance of creativity happening in the Christian world. This is a section for the creative in all of us.
• Resources – Where to go to find out more. Books, video, audio, download.

Above all… and infused in everything that is contained in these sites… is Love.  Jesus says love is the greatest thing, and I believe that.
