Life Keeps Pulling You in Every Direction. Learn to Stay Rooted in Christ.
There is always something demanding your attention. Yet you long to stay connected to Christ, not only during prayer or worship, but in the middle of everyday life.
Everyday Presence guides you through nine Christian spiritual disciplines to help you cultivate greater peace, inner stability, and awareness of God, yourself, and others.
A personal invitation from Jermaine Francis
Not Every Storm Looks Like a Storm.
Sometimes it's the constant demands of everyday life. Other times it's something far heavier.
Always Behind
You wake up with a hundred things on your mind, already feeling like you're playing catch-up.
Constantly Distracted
You want to slow down and pray, but something else always needs your attention.
Carrying Something Heavy
Disappointment, grief, uncertainty, or unanswered prayers weigh on you more than people realize.
Longing for More
You love God, but you want to experience His nearness beyond occasional spiritual moments.
You Can't Always Stop the Storm. But You Can Grow Deeper Roots.
The circumstances may not change overnight. But you can begin cultivating a more attentive relationship with Christ right where you are.
A More Present, Peaceful, and Rooted Way to Live.
Find More Peace
Discover how to make room for peace amid life's constant demands, even when your circumstances haven't changed.
Cultivate Inner Stability
Develop greater groundedness as you navigate disappointment, uncertainty, and unexpected challenges.
Grow in Awareness
Become more attentive to your inner life, God's presence, and the needs of people around you.
Become a Steady Presence for Others
As you grow rooted in Christ's steadfast presence, learn to respond to others with greater patience, care, and steadiness.
More Than Something to Watch. Something to Practice.
Knowing about spiritual disciplines and making them part of your life are two different things.
Everyday Presence brings teaching, guided practice, and reflection together in one intentional learning experience.
For each discipline, you'll learn its purpose, experience the practice with guidance, and reflect on what you're discovering through your workbook.
The goal isn't simply to finish another course. It's to begin cultivating a different way of living with God.
Space to reflect in your own words.
Each downloadable workbook invites you to practice and reflect. Your responses are personal; submission is not required.
From the Gratitude reflection workbook:
What is something you are grateful for now that you were not thankful for while it was happening?
Learn. Practice. Reflect. Grow.
Your entire self-paced course is available immediately after enrollment. Explore one practice per week, or take longer. No weekly deadlines.

Nine Practices for the Life You're Actually Living.
These aren't simply spiritual disciplines to study. They're practices you can return to in the middle of your everyday life.
When Your Mind Won't Stop RacingSilence invites you to become still and make room to listen.
When Disappointment Makes It Difficult to Recognize What's GoodGratitude helps you notice what is present without denying what is painful.
When Everything Around You Keeps Demanding MoreSabbath invites you to practice rest, delight, and trust.
Nine practices. Countless opportunities to become more attentive to God in the life you're already living.
Gratitude
Pause to name the gifts and signs of God's care you might otherwise miss.
Journaling
Put your thoughts, emotions, and prayers into words before God.
Sabbath
Make room for rest and delight in a life that keeps asking for more.
Slowing
Practice an intentional pause instead of rushing through the next moment.
Examen
Review your day prayerfully, noticing God's presence and your responses.
Contemplative Prayer
Explore prayer as communion rather than performance.
Fasting
Notice what you reach for and explore dependence on God.
Silence
Step away from the noise and make room for attentive listening to God.
Lectio Divina
Read a passage of Scripture slowly, reflect on it, and respond in prayer.
Why I Created Everyday Presence
I've spent more than 15 years traveling in ministry, preaching, teaching, and helping people grow in their relationship with God. I've experienced powerful moments in ministry. Yet I began to notice how easily accomplishing things for God could leave me overlooking what was happening within me.
I had to learn to slow down, and that an ordinary Tuesday mattered just as much as a day preaching at a conference. These practices helped me become more honest about my experiences and recognize God's presence in moments I'd overlooked.
When I think about what has deepened my relationship with God more than anything else, I keep coming back to these practices. I created Everyday Presence because they've profoundly shaped my life, and I want to help you explore them too.

When Faith Meets What We're Really Carrying
Sometimes we are so focused on moving forward spiritually that we overlook the pain, emotions, and questions we're carrying.
This conversation explores the importance of being honest about our inner lives as we grow in relationship with God.
Watch the Conversation
You Don't Have to Walk This Journey Alone.
Sometimes our understanding deepens when we share what we're experiencing with others.
Guided Immersion creates space to reflect together, ask honest questions, hear different perspectives, and learn alongside people who are exploring the same practices.
You receive the complete course immediately, plus five live gatherings with Jermaine and access to a private community.

A few things to know.
Is this course beginner-friendly?
Yes. The course welcomes beginners as well as people familiar with spiritual disciplines. Each practice includes teaching, a guided experience, and a reflection workbook to help you begin.
What if I already pray, worship, and practice spiritual disciplines?
These practices complement prayer, worship, and Spirit-led living. You can explore familiar practices more intentionally and discover others that help you become attentive to God in ordinary life.
How much time should I allow for each practice?
We recommend one practice per week: watch the teaching, follow the guided experience, use the workbook, and try the practice during your week. You can spend longer with any practice. There are no mandatory weekly deadlines.
Can I begin immediately?
Yes. The prerecorded course is designed for self-paced learning. Guided Immersion participants begin the course immediately and join the live gatherings beginning January 28, 2027.

Grow Deeper Roots Right Where You Are.
Life may keep pulling at you, and some circumstances may not change overnight. But you don't have to wait for everything to settle down to grow in your relationship with Christ.
“I am the vine, ye are the branches.”
John 15:5, KJV
