What if God is closer than you think?
We hunger for a faith that feels alive beyond Sunday morning. We long for peace in the rush, meaning in the mundane, and reassurance that God is truly near in the middle of real life. Near & Now: Everyday Encounters with God is an invitation to discover that this longing is not misplaced — it's an echo of a truth Scripture has proclaimed all along: God is here with you, right now.
Grounded in Scripture and shaped by the Cross-Shaped Rhythm, Near & Now offers gentle guidance, practical prompts, and flexible practices for individuals, households, and small groups. Whether used once a week or woven into daily routines, this resource will help you bridge the gap between Sunday worship and the rest of your week.
Engaging, accessible, and designed for all life stages, Near & Now will help you slow down and raise your awareness to experience a deeper, more familiar friendship with the God who meets you in the everyday. This is an invitation to let your ordinary life become holy ground — and to find that the presence and proximity you’ve been longing for has been with you all along.
“Surely the Lord is in this place—
and I was not aware of it.”
-Genesis 28:16
