Our story

Deep Spirituality is a digital media publication about God.

We founded Deep Spirituality in 2016 amidst a growing body of research suggesting that Americans are searching for spirituality but are increasingly turned off by religiosity.

Christianity in the Bible is attractive, life-changing, and powerful. People were never the same after meeting Jesus. He changed things and he changed the world around him.

Many religious organizations, on the other hand, are associated with rules, traditions, and a failure to innovate.

Our Editor-in-Chief Russ Ewell, an executive minister with over 35 years of experience in spiritual leadership and counseling, was convinced by this research that if we commit ourselves to a path of “Deep Spirituality,” then like Jesus, we will be able to help people find the God they are looking for. He put his thoughts into writing, and that became our first blog post.

Since then, Deep Spirituality has become a growing multimedia library produced by a team of Christians in the San Francisco Bay Area with ministry experience as well as talents in writing, video production, marketing, and graphic design.

Along with our wide network of guest contributors, we are a group of people who love God and are striving to grow closer to him daily. We consult with a team of ministers who ensure our content is biblically sound so that we can present the Scriptures to our audience with confidence.

Our work is personal and genuine; as we strive to follow the path of Deep Spirituality, we share our lessons learned and our victories won in the form of tools anyone can use. When believe that when we walk with God in this way, we will find the power to change from the inside out and change the world around us like Jesus changed his.

We hope that our devotionals, videos, podcast episodes, and other tools make the power of a personal relationship with God accessible to everyone—regardless of your religious affiliation, church membership, or experience with the Bible.

Our mission

We want to make it easy and accessible for everyone to deepen their faith and transform their walk with God.

Our mission is to help everyone access the power of Deep Spirituality in their day-to-day lives. To do this, we create tools that anyone can use to get to know God for themselves and develop a personal relationship with him.

Through our work, we would like those who have never known the God of the Bible will learn to build a relationship with him, and those who perhaps have grown disillusioned will reignite their sense of spiritual curiosity to get to know God in a way they never have before.

Our team

The Deep Spirituality team is a group of creatives who are passionate about learning how to walk with God.

We want to share our lessons learned and our victories won in the form of tools anyone can use.
