Case Study
In one afternoon, 12 leaders began recognizing what they'd been missing — and 100 members followed.
“People weren't just listening. They were recognizing.”
Enjoy Church is a growing community in Illinois led by Senior Pastor Daren Carstens. With a heart for authentic discipleship and spiritual formation, they focus on helping believers move from passive faith to active friendship with God.
Enjoy Church, led by Pastor Daren Carstens, invited Kraig Kleeman to spend time with the leadership team and introduce The Zoë Life. During the session, Kraig walked through the 8 biblical modes of divine communication and helped leaders understand why so many believers struggle to recognize when God speaks.
The gathering included a short teaching on hearing God, live dream interpretation, prayer ministry, and open discussion. The format was familiar — teaching, discussion, prayer. What happened was not.

— PASTOR DAREN CARSTENS
The environment created at Enjoy Church was simple, practical, and repeatable.
Naming the 8 biblical modes of divine communication — so nothing gets missed.
Live interpretation of dreams, visions, and promptings — no theory, just practice.
Space to ask “What do I do with this?” — and actually get an answer.
Most believers have heard from God — they just didn't recognize it. Churches have teaching and gatherings, but not always a repeatable way to help people process what God is doing.
As dreams were interpreted and people were prayed for, the room shifted from curiosity to recognition. Leaders continued reaching out afterward with additional dreams and encounters.

Continued engagement and multiplication across the congregation
The live gathering created activation. The Zoé Life platform creates continuation. The goal is not simply to host events, but to help believers develop ongoing rhythms of spiritual formation, reflection, discernment, and response between Sundays.
“The gathering creates breakthrough. The platform creates rhythm.”

Common questions from church leaders exploring partnership
Daren Carstens
Senior Pastor, Enjoy Church
As the pastor of Enjoy Church, Daren observed his team engage in a way that felt different. The experience was not forced or exaggerated. It was practical, grounded, and spiritually meaningful.
“I've had the chance to see The Zoë Life in action. It immediately stood out to me as a framework that can genuinely help people move from being spiritually stalled into a deeper, more real friendship with God.”
