We tend to assume that more knowledge leads to a life well-lived. Clearer thinking, a sounder foundation... and surely the rest would follow.

But most of us know it isn't that simple.

Rev. Dr Becki Philip leads this free five-day email series exploring what it truly means to know God — not just know more about him. Each day brings a short theological reflection, a question to sit with, a simple practice, a prayer and space to share your reflections along the way.
