Rapt has one mission: to help you encounter God. Why? Well, we’re made to be in loving relationship with him. The Bible is clear about that. But to love him, we must know him. We cannot love someone we do not know — not really, not intimately. And when Jesus talked about that kind of knowing, he meant something specific. The Greek word used in his prayer is ginōskō, a verb that connotes “familiarity acquired through experience.”

To move from knowing of God to knowing him, we must encounter him personally. We can settle no longer for the idea of a relationship. We must move into an actual one-to-one relationships with him. And we do that by doing things with him.

And Rapt curates the best things.
