The human heart is a battlefield. Every day, a war rages within us—a war between the awe of God and the awe of self. It’s a conflict as old as humanity itself, and it’s one that we often underestimate. But make no mistake, this war shapes our thoughts, our actions, our worship, and ultimately our relationship with God and others. One of the most striking examples of this battle is found in the account of King Nebuchadnezzar in Daniel 4. Standing atop his royal palace (a struc

Photo Credit: Igor Batista Something remarkable happened in Boston this June. Tens of thousands of Scottish fans—the famous Tartan Army—descended on the city for Scotland's first World Cup appearance in 28 years. They came with bagpipes and kilts, singing, dancing, and good-natured mischief. They filled the bars, the parks, the streets, and even the school buses. And somewhere in all that joyful chaos, a guarded, weary city began to soften. When 64,000 fans sang together in t

That's not a rhetorical premise — it's what a new study actually found. Research published in May 2026 in the journal People and Nature reveals that awe isn't just a beautiful feeling. It's a force that shapes identity, deepens belonging, and draws people closer to science. The Study: Citizen Science Meets the Solar Eclipse In April 2024, a total solar eclipse swept across North America. Researchers at NC State University seized the moment — and turned it into a participatory

"He...who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead; his eyes are closed." — Albert Einstein It is a striking thought, isn't it? To think that the absence of wonder is akin to being dead. Einstein, a brilliant and curious visionary, understood something profound that resonates deeply with our life of faith. When we stop pausing, when we stop looking up, something inside us begins to wither. Einstein highlights the essential role of wonder and cur

Discomfort can open the door to awe. At Awe Together, this matters deeply. Awe is not found only in sunsets, mountaintops, and answered prayers. Sometimes awe meets us in the middle of a struggle. There is a holy kind of wonder that comes when we realize God is sustaining us in ways we did not notice before. We see awe when: Grace helps us endure a season we never would have chosen (2 Corinthians 12:9) Strength appears that we know did not come from us alone (Isaiah 40:29-31)

Enduring discomfort leads to growth. Rachel Entrekin’s 250-mile race in 56 hours is a powerful reminder of perseverance through pain, doubt, and exhaustion. Her story reflects a deeper truth: growth often comes through challenges. In faith, as in life, discomfort isn’t a sign of failure—it’s where God shapes endurance, humility, and hope. Keep going. Trust the process.

Imagine standing in a dense forest, sunlight streaming through the canopy in golden rays. As you breathe deeply, your mind clears, and you sense something extraordinary. A rustling draws your gaze upward just in time to witness leaves catching the light. You stand still, captivated. For a moment, everything else fades. You feel small, yet deeply connected to something far greater. Or, maybe you find yourself captivated by a more modest view, as I was this week. Just stepping

Ever been silenced by the beauty of creation—vast mountains, crashing waves, or endless skies? That awe you feel isn’t random. It’s a sign pointing to the Creator. Creation reflects God’s glory, but it’s not the destination. Let the wonder of this world lead you to worship the One who made it. Only Jesus can truly satisfy the longings of your heart.

At Awe Together , we are constantly seeking ways to experience awe in our daily routines and rhythms. We believe awe is a remarkable gift. It serves as a powerful emotion that reminds us of the beauty, wonder, and connection woven into the fabric of Creation. One of the most profound ways to encounter this feeling is through nature, where the majesty of God’s handiwork is on full display. Even a short walk outside can dramatically shift our perspective. Just this week, I was

When was the last time you were utterly amazed—so deeply moved by the moment that it left you in silence, so captivated that time itself seemed to stand still? Moments like these remind us of the profound impact awe can have on our lives. Awe is more than just a fleeting feeling—it's a transformative force reshaping how we view ourselves, the world around us, and the Creator who orchestrates it all. Awe connects us to something larger than our daily routines; it sparks curios

In a world filled with distractions and noise, finding moments of awe can be a transformative experience. Awe is more than just a fleeting emotion; it is a profound experience that can shift our perspective. When we encounter something awe-inspiring, whether it’s a stunning sunset, a piece of art, or a moment of kindness, we often feel a sense of connection to something greater than ourselves.
