Omega is designed to be basic training in discipleship. Going through the 24-session course you will be exposed to a big-picture view of the life of discipleship and invited to be trained in righteousness.

24-session…

Each of the 24 sessions of Omega can be a stand-alone seminar. Put together, each session builds on the previous session(s) to provide you a map with which you can explore, discover, and implement God’s Mission for your life as a faithful disciple.

journey…

The life of discipleship is a journey. You will need to refer back to the map during the different seasons of your life. Additionally, we have many participants who choose to take the course more than one time to become leaders and to get to the deeper levels of what God is doing in them through their Omega Experience.

that equips you…

Omega will equip you with a great toolbox of models, paradigms, and frameworks with which to seek His guidance and get “on mission” with God.'

for a lifetime of discipleship.

A lifetime of focused discipleship becomes possible as you enter into a lifestyle of mentoring that will help to keep you on track and growing. By completing your personal development plan and using it as a regular mentoring and recalibration tool, you will learn how to seek God’s mission, engage His transformational work in your life and integrate spiritual disciplines that will facilitate your training in righteousness.

The Life Focus Process TM

Tools for the Journey

Understanding Our Identity

Our identity in Christ gets expressed through the various roles we play in life. By defining each role (identity in Christ) in our lives, we gain a holistic perspective of our new lives in Christ.

Identity Roles: Three Categories

Over the next few sessions we will be taking an in-depth look at three categories of our identity in Christ:

  • Christ Follower - Being fully human (4 roles or aspects of our being: heart, soul, mind, strength)

  • Community Member - Our relational roles (5 roles: inner circle, relative/parent, church member, mentee/mentor, ambassador/friend)

  • Called Servant - How we are called to serve and work (5 roles: minister of compassion, empowered servant, steward of resources, calling mentee/mentor, professional roles)

18 Foundational Truths (Natural Laws) of Life Stewardship TM

The Life Focus Process guides your journey through Delta and Omega and provides a framework for lifelong discipleship. The process will help you see a big-picture view of the life of discipleship, construct deeper relationships, identify specific growth steps, remove obstacles to growth, and construct a personalized development plan built to be revised during every season of life.

Cycle of Renewal TM

The Cycle of Renewal - Holistic Transformation

Believing in the Lord Jesus with all our Heart, Soul, Mind and Strength means that we:

  1. Embrace the revelation or feedback that God brings into our lives which convicts us of our sin and need for Him.

  2. Change incorrect or negative beliefs through holistic Repentance: agreeing with God’s will (Heart), healing of wounds (Soul), learning His truth (Mind) and calling upon His strength (Strength).

  3. Embrace God’s new correct beliefs (Desires, Feelings, Thoughts and Capabilities) for our lives by making amends or restitution to those we have wounded and engage our new training in righteousness.

Revelation-Revelation from God leads the process.

Reproof or Rebuke-Reproof challenges our status quo.

Repentance-We can either agree with God and turn (repent) or disagree and, in essence, say “No. I don’t think you know better. I think I know better.” Sometimes God sends more revelation.

Correction-This decision to change is followed by figuring out the appropriate corrections needed. The Biblical term here is actually a forensic term for resetting a bone.

Restitution-We make restitution for our sins by asking for forgiveness from those we have sinned against and behaving in accordance with the new directional correction. The process is short-circuited if you don’t submit yourself to community.

Trained in Righteousness-Healing comes as part of your being Trained in Righteousness, which is a main goal of the faith. Without training we will drift a totally different way: toward selfishness and decline. Once you get a taste of God’s training, you’ll desire it more and more.

Below you will find four key tools and frameworks we use to help people understand the journey of disciple-making.

Testimonials

  • “I believe Omega is an outstanding means of leveraging our understanding of the faith by learning to put it into practice and live the abundant life. I am excited about our partnership with Omega and for the lives that Our Lord will transform throughout the greater NYC region.”

    D’ARCY LECLAIRE, PRESIDENT, ALPHA GREATER NEW YORK

  • “The Omega Experience has equipped my church for greater work in Christ’s Kingdom and matured us as disciples of Jesus. The sound biblical teaching has helped everyone become more closely aligning with Christ’s mission. Our “good” people are becoming “great” disciples of Jesus as they are trained to lead others to the “real life” we find through faith in Christ Jesus.”

    REV. DR. CHARLES S. MUELLER JR., SENIOR PASTOR, TRINITY EVANGELICAL LUTHERAN CHURCH ROSELLE, IL.

  • “The Omega Course that he has developed has been such an invaluable tool for faith-deepening among us that we believe it should be a basic training for every Christian.”

    REV. NEELY TOWE, PASTOR EMERITUS, STANWICH CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH, GREENWICH, CT

  • “I am delighted to commend to you the Omega Course. I believe that every participant will be challenged to greater growth and focus in their life journey.”

  • “The Omega Course inspires you to go to the next level of effectiveness. It provides a framework and gives voice to becoming a congruent person who connects deeply with God.”

    MARTIN SANDERS, PRESIDENT, GLOBAL LEADERSHIP; PROFESSOR, ALLIANCE THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY

  • “This series has confirmed for me that God is calling me to lead the church in a new/old way Rather than starting my day with a checklist of things I must do and accomplish. Now I will start my day with a list of who I will mentor. The Omega Course is a radical way of doing church. Instead of piling on more programs (for program’s sake) as if somehow we show how ‘successful’ we are by how busy we are. Now, the goal is leading a life of “significance”. But how can a person come to know this if I am not actively demonstrating that their life is indeed “significant” by spending time with them?”

    REV. BRIGITTA REMOLE

  • “Omega is an excellent way to grow in Christianity and your faith. It is beneficial to both new and mature Christians. This course taught me the importance of a covenant community and group of people who can help and support you. Because of Omega I will become more involved in the church.”

    DAVID S.

  • “When I first decided to take this class I was very apprehensive, but once I stripped away and let God live within me, I really have been able to stop some things and add others on my to do list. I have been able to evaluate things and really find what matters. I would totally recommend this course to others.”

    JIM EBERT

  • “Life Spring Network’s Omega Course unleashes God’s abundance in your life. It is an outstanding seminar series whose teaching will transform your life and leadership.”

    JOE WOMACK, LEADER, GENEROUS LIVING MINISTRIES

  • “It is with much enthusiasm that I endorse the Omega course by Jason Pankau. The content, depth, scriptural accuracy and application to our lives, is in my opinion, phenomenal. Not only was the course interesting and exciting, but it had a huge impact on my life, and more importantly on my walk with the Lord. I highly recommend the course to anyone who desires to grow deeper in their faith.”

    ALLAN MOFFAT, ELDER, GRACEPOINT COMMUNITY CHURCH, SURREY, BC AUTHOR, SURPRISED BY GOD

  • “This is a great seminar to experience. I at first was a litte apprehensive to attend, but am so grateful that I came out of my comfort zone. After the 1st class, I recruited others to attend because this seminar has allowed me to let God lead my life. I am changed with God's direction and would recommend everyone to experience OMEGA.”

    JEN EBERT

  • “What we are discovering in a post-modern and increasingly post-Christian world is that college-aged Christians are craving not just information but life direction. The question they are asking is whether Christianity works. Life Spring Network and The Omega Course bring together solid Biblical teaching with life-changing application, paired with relationships and mentoring–and it demonstrates in real ways that Christianity does in fact work. I cannot imagine a better combination in terms of helping students discover their God-given life purpose and become fully-devoted followers of Jesus Christ.”

    BEN DUBOW

    LEAD PASTOR, ST. PAUL’S COLLEGIATE CHURCH

  • “Nearly 20 people attended the first 12-week OMEGA Course at Covenant. Without exception each one responded positively to the time spent in learning and applying the Biblical/Spiritual truths taught and examined. Attendeeds felt the seminar was both informative and inspirational, but the overwhelming response was that the seminar was transforming in their lives. Several made significant spiritual decisions. These included several new commitments to Jesus Christ, a response to a call from God to service, a career change, and a response to God’s call into the ministry.

    As a Pastor, I’m always grateful for people who come along side the church and give fresh Biblical teaching and insight that aids the members to grow in their faith. The OMEGA Course accomplished that for Covenant, and I am truly grateful. I look forward with considerable joy to many OMEGA Courses at Covenant in the years to come.”

    CRAIG CARLSON, SENIOR PASTOR
    COVENANT CHURCH OF EASTON
