Deeper: Exploring God’s Design for Human Connection

God created us for connection, but deep, meaningful relationships can be hard to find. Loneliness and misunderstandings keep us from experiencing the connection we crave.

You long for deeper relationships, but something always seems to get in the way—past wounds, unspoken expectations, or simply not knowing where to start. You may even wonder if true intimacy is possible in today’s world.

This guided video course invites you to explore God’s design for connection, identify and overcome common relational barriers, and apply practical tools to foster deeper, more meaningful relationships in every area of your life. Whether individually or in a group, you’ll discover how to engage with others in a way that brings lasting transformation.

What to Expect

Embark on a journey to deeper connection! Discover God’s design for relationships, uncover the barriers that hinder them, and explore practical ways to build meaningful connections. Each video session offers thought-provoking questions, biblical insights, real-life examples, and interactive exercises to help you grow in warmth, empathy, and relational depth. Whether engaging individually or with a group, you'll gain valuable tools to move beyond surface-level conversations and cultivate authentic community.

  • In this module you will explore the subtle yet powerful barriers that prevent you from forming meaningful connections that God desires for you. You will identify these barriers, understand their impact, and take steps to overcome them.
