One could argue that we live in the most connected yet disconnected time in history. We have access to more information right at our fingertips than ever before, and the temptation to give in to the busy lifestyle makes it difficult for believers to experience and engage with God.

 

Today’s guest on the iDisciple podcast, Craig Denison, has a heart for helping people experience God in a practical way every day. Craig Denison is the author of First15, a daily devotional guiding tens of thousands of believers into a fresh experience with God’s presence every day. He writes, speaks, and he and his wife, Rachel lead worship to help believers establish a more tangible, meaningful connection with God. You can check out his work by signing up to receive First15 every morning for free, and by engaging with First15 on social media.
