About CwC

Not too long ago, my idea of a relationship with God was probably very ordinary.  It consisted of little snippets of God here and there.  I did what most “active” Christians do:  I went to church on Sundays; had Bible Study on Thursday night; read devotions that were delivered to my inbox; I prayed usually when I needed some help or something was really bothering me.  To be completely honest, my Christian walk was flat out boring, unsatisfying and at best disappointing.  Can anyone relate?

These days, my relationship with God has been transformed from periodic visits with Him to an actual daily walk by His side.  He is my Best Friend, my Savior, my Father, my Rock and my God. I now spend more time in His Word than I do anything else.  And you know what?  I rarely have a boring day.

So what changed?  It’s really very simple.  I started to ask myself, “What does a meaningful relationship with Christ really look like?”

I knew what it meant to be a Christian.  People told me that as a Christian we are supposed to have a quiet time, and we are supposed to pray and go to church and read the Bible.  I’ve done all those things throughout my life, but doing them didn’t really have any meaning to it.  Instead, they were just things to check off of my to-do list.

So, what does a relationship with Christ really look like?  Quite frankly, it looks very much like….a relationship.  I started using the same approaches to my relationship with Christ as I do with people I can see and touch, and my first step was sitting down with Him and having a cup of coffee.

And so Coffee with Christ was born.  We meet each morning in my living room, and it is the sweetest part of my day.  I listen to Him and He listens to me.  He tells me His secrets and I tell Him mine.

He’s that real, you know?   Invite Him over for coffee and see for yourself.

Be Blessed!
