You ever find yourself deep in Christian conversation and suddenly realize you have no idea what’s being said?
We get it. "Christianese" is real. One minute you're nodding along, and the next someone drops
“I felt a swirl, so I submitted it under spiritual governance, checked my scroll, and came back into alignment with my Kingdom assignment.”
Cool cool… but what?
At The Well Exchange, we use words like alignment, scroll, and governing all the time—but not to sound deep or make things weird. We just believe Heaven has a language… and most of us have been pretending we understand it for way too long.
This glossary is our no-fluff, zero-mystery guide to what we actually mean. So you don’t have to fake it, Google it, or quietly wonder what the heck we are saying.
Let’s demystify the language so you can walk in clarity, confidence, and authority.
When your heart, decisions, and leadership come into agreement with Heaven’s original design. True alignment brings clarity, peace, and fruitfulness.
A Spirit-led task, territory, or responsibility God has entrusted to you. Assignments are seasonal and flow from your scroll.
Not just positional power, but the spiritual capacity to govern and bring Heaven to earth. Real authority flows from alignment and intimacy with God.
The unique spiritual identity, calling, and design given to a person, business, or organization by God. It reflects what you were born to carry and steward. Your birthright acts as a spiritual compass—offering clarity in direction, decision-making, and alignment.
A subtle, Spirit-led hesitation or restraint. A "check" often signals something is off, misaligned, or out of God’s timing.
Spiritual protection and relational safety that comes from being rightly aligned and submitted to trusted leaders or teams.
The Spirit-empowered ability to sense what is true, what is off, and what Heaven is doing in a moment. For us, it often includes distilling through noise, confusion, or conflicting messages to find the Kingdom substance beneath the surface.
The visible and spiritual evidence of alignment—peace, breakthrough, clarity, relationships thriving, and Kingdom impact multiplying without striving.
The relational and spiritual leadership structure that ensures decisions and strategies align with Heaven. Governance happens through mutual submission, not hierarchy.
Actively stewarding territory, influence, or assignment with Heaven’s wisdom, strategy, and peace. Governing is different from striving or reacting—it flows from rest and union.
Spirit-led prayer that goes beyond requests. Intercession discerns Heaven’s agenda and partners with it through strategic prayer, spiritual authority, and alignment. It is relational, mature, and often prophetic in nature. We don’t “pray at problems”—we pray with insight, purpose, and accuracy, walking with you in the process.
God’s realm of authority, order, and culture. The Kingdom is not just a belief system—it’s a way of living, governing, and building that reflects Heaven on earth. It operates through love, justice, peace, and alignment with Jesus as King.
A prayer posture where we prioritize hearing God, not just talking at Him. It’s slow, Spirit-led, and rooted in relationship. We wait, discern, and write down what we sense—with humility and clarity.
The unique blueprint of your leadership, calling, and capacity as written by God. When you lead from original design, you lead with ease, clarity, and divine authority.
Not the absence of conflict, but the presence of divine order and spiritual clarity. Peace confirms alignment.
Trying to earn approval, identity, or outcomes through striving, perfectionism, or self-effort. Performance is often fueled by fear, not union. It’s the opposite of leading from rest and true identity.
For us, the prophetic is not spooky, vague, or ego-driven. It’s the Spirit-led ability to perceive and hear what God is saying or doing in real time—and respond with clarity, wisdom, and alignment. Prophetic insight brings strategy, not just statements. We walk this out in maturity, testing what we hear in community and timing.
Not about performance or perfectionism. Purity is undividedness—when your motives, emotions, and actions flow from union with God.
Fresh insight revealed by the Holy Spirit—not something we deduce, but something God unveils. Revelation is not just information or a teaching. It’s Heaven breaking into your understanding with clarity, strategy, or perspective. It often feels like “something landing in your spirit”—and it brings life, peace, and direction.
A spiritual term representing Heaven’s written design or blueprint for a person, business, or territory. It includes calling, assignments, and timing.
Prayer that aligns with Heaven’s current word and agenda—not emotional reaction or wishful thinking. It discerns the real issue and prays with authority and accuracy.
Choosing to come under God’s order and strategy—not control. True submission increases authority and brings safety.
A state of internal chaos, pressure, or confusion—often rooted in fear, striving, or spiritual misalignment. Swirl keeps leaders stuck and reactionary.
Our process of discerning revelation as a team. We don’t assume everything “heard” is from God—we weigh it against Scripture, the nature of Jesus, spiritual timing, and shared peace. We look for fruit, substance, and resonance. It’s not about control—it’s about safety, maturity, and wisdom.
Heaven’s pace. Spiritual maturity includes learning to discern not just what God is saying, but when He’s saying it.
Living from oneness with Christ. Union is the foundation of our authority, discernment, and rest. It’s the opposite of performance.
