Weekly Magazine | Knowing God More Deeply

Your weekly magazine is here—real stories, real faith, real encouragement. Just for you!

Dear Friends,

Summer often invites us to slow down—but slowing down doesn’t always mean drawing close. In fact, the shift in pace can sometimes leave our spiritual lives feeling dry, distracted, or distant.

That’s why this week’s magazine is about Knowing God More Deeply—not in theory, but in practice. What’s getting in the way of your connection with Him right now? What might help clear a path to intimacy, rest, and renewal?

Together, we’ll explore what keeps us from experiencing God personally, how to stay close through every season, and how summer itself might be the perfect opportunity to refresh your walk with Him.

Whether your days are full or quiet, we pray this issue encourages you to lean in, look up, and draw closer to the One who already sees you—and loves you deeply.
