Frequently Asked Questions
I don’t always feel God’s presence. Will I still connect with this class?
Yes. You’re welcome to come with that longing. Joaquin encourages you to value small beginnings and grow in gratitude without measuring your experience against someone else’s. The class offers invitations to prayer, worship, and stillness that help you give attention to your relationship with God, without needing to produce a particular feeling.
I’m comfortable praying to the Father and Jesus, but friendship with the Holy Spirit feels unfamiliar. Is this a good place to begin?
Absolutely. A full session explores who the Holy Spirit is and the relationship Jesus invites us to have with Him. You’ll find approachable ways to begin—welcoming His guidance as you read the Bible, expressing love in worship, and including Him in ordinary moments. Bring your questions and your desire to know Him more.
