01THE LONGING

There’s got to be more to experiencing God.

You can love God, pray, worship, and serve—and still long for deeper communion. Maybe you want to notice God not only in special moments, but in the everyday life you already have.

02THE TENSION

What happens when life doesn’t go as planned?

Uncertainty, disappointment, grief, ordinary responsibilities, and unanswered questions don’t pause real life. They can leave us wondering how faith meets the life in front of us.

03THE REFRAME

You don’t need a different life to begin making room for God.

You don’t have to wait for the perfect season or a quieter calendar. God can meet you in the life you’re living.

Spiritual practices don’t earn God’s presence. They help us make room to notice and respond to the God who is already present.

Journaling

Give honest reflection and prayer a place.

Sabbath

Guided Immersion · begins January 28, 2027

Shared practices. Small-group reflection. Practical guidance.

Start the self-paced course right away, then join five interactive gatherings with Jermaine. Each is a chance to practice together, reflect on what you’re experiencing, and talk through questions in a small group.

Hear how others are engaging the disciplines and receive practical guidance for carrying them into daily life. The private Guided Immersion community offers a dedicated place for discussion alongside the course. The gatherings are interactive, not a series of lectures.

A longing for deeper communion in real life.

I know how easy it is to stay busy doing things for God while longing to slow down and simply be present with Him. I created Everyday Presence to make historic practices practical and accessible—a way to make room for communion with God in real life.
