The Bible isn't just a book of stories or wise teachings. The Bible helps us know God personally.
Growing more aware of ourselves — the good, the bad, and the ugly — increases the intimacy in our relationship with God and others
We all want to be cared for, known, understood, and loved for who we are. God is the starting place for this kind of intimacy.
We all long for unconditional acceptance and closeness. It all starts with learning to develop intimacy with God.
