Intimacy with Christ

Do you ever feel frustrated with the religious "hamster wheel"?

You are not alone.

Sadly, many Christians experience their relationship with Christ as a list of rules rather than deep and powerful sense of abiding in Christ.

But, how can we push ourselves to grow closer to Jesus without falling into legalism or relying on our own limited strength?

In this course, we will review the biblical mindsets, practical tools, and life rhythms you need to grow closer to our Master and Beloved. We will consider both universal and personal ways that different people connect with Christ and how to implement foundational habits and attitudes to abide in Him. (John 15)
