About The Book

What if the clarity, confidence, and spiritual focus you’ve been praying for is only one intentional journey away?

The reFOCUS Spiritual Formation Series—anchored by reFOCUS: 90 Days of Shedding, the Companion Workbook, the Participant Guide, and the Leader’s Guide—is a transformative discipleship pathway designed to help believers shed what weighs them down, renew their minds, and step boldly into the life God has called them to live.

Developed by Dr. J (Jose G. Rodriguez, Ph.D.), pastor, author, and creator of the Troika Model, reFOCUS is a biblically grounded, Spirit-led, and deeply practical journey for individuals, small groups, and entire churches. Built on Romans 12:2 and Hebrews 12:1–2, this integrated series walks believers step-by-step through the essential movements of authentic transformation:

Release what hinders.
Restore what’s broken.
Realign with God’s truth.
Rebuild identity and confidence.
Break limiting mindsets and patterns.
Accelerate spiritual growth and purpose.
Finish strong and rejoice in God’s faithfulness.

⭐ What You’ll Experience in the reFOCUS Journey
This series is much more than a study—it is a spiritual turning point.
Across 90 days and 13 weeks, you will engage in:

✔ Consistent Scripture-based formation
Daily readings, weekly themes, and guided reflection help you develop new rhythms of truth, prayer, and obedience.

✔ Deep personal reflection
The Companion Workbook leads you into honest evaluation, Spirit-led journaling, and practical application.

✔ Transformational conversations
The Participant Guide equips groups to reflect, listen, share, and grow through meaningful dialogue.

✔ Dynamic, Spirit-sensitive leadership
The Leader’s Guide offers pastoral insights, coaching notes, facilitation strategies, and weekly prayer points that empower you to shepherd with confidence.

✔ A complete discipleship ecosystem
Each resource reinforces the others—allowing churches, small groups, or individuals to walk through the same spiritual journey with unity and purpose.

⭐ A Complete Ecosystem for Churches, Leaders, and Groups

This series is ideal for:
Bible studies
Home groups
Leadership teams
New believer pathways
Church-wide campaigns
Personal revival and renewal
Ministry training
Discipleship cohorts

Your church can journey through a unified, Spirit-filled process that strengthens hearts, deepens community, and cultivates maturity.

⭐ What Makes reFOCUS Different?
Authenticity. Clarity. Intentionality. Scripture. Community. Transformation.

reFOCUS is not a motivational program or a surface-level devotional experience. It is a holistic discipleship pathway that combines:

Solid biblical theology
emotional honesty
pastoral wisdom
leadership principles
spiritual formation practices
daily disciplines
weekly community engagement

Each movement of the journey draws you deeper into Christ, revealing what does not belong while empowering what God has planted within you.

And unlike most studies, reFOCUS invites you to grow in three dimensions:

✦ Personal Transformation — shedding internal weights, renewing the mind
✦ Relational Transformation — redeeming how you love, connect, and live in community
✦ Purpose Transformation — aligning your gifts, calling, and assignment with God’s mission

This threefold journey mirrors the way Jesus formed His disciples—personally, relationally, and missionally.

⭐ Meet Dr. J — Pastor, Author, Life Coach, and Discipleship Architect
With decades of pastoral leadership, academic training, and spiritual formation expertise, Dr. J brings together:

The clarity of a theologian
The heart of a pastor
The creativity of an author
The strategic insight of a leadership coach

His writing blends the imagination of C.S. Lewis, the theological depth of Packer and Sproul, and the practical wisdom of modern discipleship practitioners. The result is a series that is both profoundly spiritual and highly actionable.

⭐ Are You Ready to reFOCUS?

Whether you are leading others or seeking renewal for yourself, the reFOCUS series will guide you into a season of clarity, transformation, and spiritual momentum.

Step into the journey.
Shed what no longer belongs.
Renew your focus.
Run the race marked out for you with perseverance.
Fix your eyes on Jesus again—and move forward with purpose.

It’s time to shed, renew, and realign your life with God’s vision.
