‘Beholding: Deepening Our Experience in God’
Is Out!
"My friend Strahan has written a liturgy for the ache; he’s put lyrics and music and melody to the deepest desire of the heart— the desire for God. Not just to know about God, as the cliché goes, but to know God, by direct experience. To experience emotionally what is true of us theologically by the cross and the coming of the Spirit: that we are “in Christ.”
- John Mark Comer, Foreword.
Prayer isn't meant to be just another transaction in the busy and consumer-saturated world we live in, but a place of deeply satisfying communion, of receiving and returning the loving gaze of our Maker, of a holy union.
Beholding is an invitation to that life. Not only praying to God, or working for Him, but living in and with Him in our everyday ordinary moments, enchanting our entire lives,
Discover the beauty, wonder, and stillness of a life of friendship and unceasing prayer with God, and see how learning to behold and be beheld by Him may just spark the transformational movement these times are crying out for.
Pre-orders are available now. Beholding officially releases February 7th where all good books are sold.

What Friends Have To Say About My Prayer Volumes
“From time memorial, poetry had been the carrier for God’s people’s prayers to come home to God himself. On the pages of this beautiful book of poems and prayers, I meet God. So can you.”
John Mark Comer - This Cultural Moment Podcast / Bridgetown Church Portland
“This beautiful book…has been a deep breath for my soul. Tears have streamed down my face and I have been so moved by the words on each page. Thank you Strahan for your honesty, your process, and your love for the humanity of Jesus.”
Melissa Helser - Bethel Music, Eighteen Inch journey.
“What Strahan has created will help the busy soul to press pause and detox by providing a way of connecting with God that evokes a response…[his] book of prayer leads us to listening and connecting in a fresh way with words that have been formed out of very real pain and even angusih. I have learned to trust those with scars, and rightfully so. May these words speak to you, as they are speaking to me.”
Aaron Hardy - Te Rautini
“Strahan is a gifted communicator with a passionate desire for people to encounter God more deeply through prayer and poetry. I know that this offering of heartfelt words comes from his own deep journey of wrestling with God, and will be a balm to many wounded hearts trying to find their way back to the Father”
Scottie Reeve - 21 Elephants (book & podcast) / Blueprint Church
“Strahan has plumbed a deep well of song and poetry in the midst of, and as a result of, personal pain and suffering. Struck down but not destroyed, he reminds himself, and us, where our help truly comes from”
Josh Garells - singer-songwriter / poet
