"I highly recommend Matt and Jan's Meeting God in Scripture online course. I am often tempted to rush through my daily scripture reading plan as if more words count. This course deepened my hunger for meditating on scripture in a slow and meditative way. The benefits of this course continue to unfold but most importantly it has rooted me more deeply in Christ. The content, teaching and scripture meditations were phenomenal. I believe that every one who takes this course will indeed meet God in a fresh and transformative way."
