Join us … Grow with us … Delve deeper with us

Countless Christians struggle with spiritual loneliness and isolation. They are looking for inspiration, passion, and purpose. They want …

Connection * Growth * Change * Something New

In addition, it’s hard to find strong spiritual meat that unveils Christ in a powerful way. It’s equally hard finding other believers of like mind and heart who want to go deeper into the things of God.

The Need for a Deeper Discipleship

“For believers who are searching for the deeper things of God, who are ready to move from milk to meat, and who wish to meet others who are immersed in the deeper life, there is no better gathering place. This is an environment (albeit virtual for now) where we are able to love one another, encourage one another, help one another, serve one another, and learn from one another. We are, in fact, discipling one other into the deeper Christian life and learning how to do so in community. I have been incredibly inspired and encouraged every week. I am thankful that the Lord placed this network on Frank’s heart.” ~ Khori Whittaker

“Frank’s ministry has encouraged me on so many different levels; be it living life with the indwelling Christ within me, seeking the Eternal Purpose of God’s glorious plan, and more. Through this network, many of us are able to connect together and share his wonderful gift and insight from God, as well as our own ideas regarding different spiritual topics.” ~ Keri Hui

“Wow, where can I begin to describe the impact this network has had on my husband and myself. For years I’ve wanted to be a part of a community of believers who express Christ first and foremost beyond anything else. Each session and Master Class has brought forth more revelation of God’s Eternal Purpose, which in turn just spurns me on to more of Christ. Frank continues to point people back to Christ, into the deeper waters of experientially knowing Him. To see that I have other brothers and sisters who’ve had the same mind blowing revelation of Christ and long to seek it in fullness is a joy I can’t really articulate. The spiritual loneliness and isolation is gone; getting to pursue the Lord with others and learn from one another has changed the game for me. If you have been longing for more than surface Christianity and connection with other serious believers, this network is for you. Buckle your seat belts and get ready—the Lord is about to interrupt your regularly scheduled programming!” ~ Amber Passini

The Deeper Christian Life Network is a premium online community that provides virtual mentoring from bestselling author & speaker Frank Viola and connection with others who desire to grow deeper in Christ.

Dissent is a gift to the Church. It is the imagination of the prophets that continually call us back to our identity as the peculiar people of God. May Viola’s words challenge us to become the change that we want to see in the Church … and not to settle for anything less than God’s dream for Her.

~ Shane Claiborne

A lot of people write books, Frank writes stories and in God’s Favorite Place on Earth we once again see why he’s such a master. Honored to call him a friend, excited to call him an author I love to read.

~ Jon Acuff

The best thing I can say about Frank Viola is this: When I read his books—and I read them all—I don’t think much about Frank Viola. I think about Jesus. And I learn to love Him more.

~ Brant Hansen

Virtual Mentoring

Collective Inspiration

Cooperative Learning

Mutual Encouragement

“While I have been following the Lord for a number of years, and even have a bachelors and a masters degree in Bible and Theology, much of what I was taught was basic and merely doctrinal, or what I call the “shallow waters” of following Christ. A few years ago my wife and I began discovering there was so much more to the Lord. We moved from those shallow waters and began to “swim in the deep end.” The Deeper Christian Life Network has provided a place where we can interact with other believers who want more in their walk with the Lord and desire those “deep waters.” The network has taken my journey to the next level. The fact that my wife and I are pursuing it together makes it even greater. If you are tired of wading in the kiddy pool and want to get into the deeper waters of following the Lord, this network is the place for you. Get ready to jump off the high dive!” ~ Daniel Passini

“I wish the Deeper Christian Life Network was available to me when I experienced years of almost no like-minded fellowship. It certainly would have helped to alleviate some of the challenges that I faced, as well as help guide me through that journey. If you currently find yourself in a wilderness of unwanted loneliness, I would encourage you to view the network as an online family that can offer you comfort, encouragement, and godly counsel. As a participant, I value the access I have to Frank, his team, and the community of serious believers that are also part of the network.” ~ Tyler and Anna Chapman

“The Deeper Christian Life Network takes the best of Frank’s ministry and presents it in an online community platform that provides intimate accessibility to Frank and access to a broader community of Christ-followers who share a love for Jesus. The network is a great space for quality devotional content that has challenged me, inspired me, and instructed me. Consequently, I find that I am growing in my love for God in Christ in a way that affects how I live and express Jesus.” ~ Jason D. Guinasso

“I’ve been so blessed since I’ve been part of The Deeper Christian Life Network. I have for some time felt the need for rejuvenation; the need to come alive again in Christ. Registering has been one of the best decisions I have ever made! By sitting under the spoken word in the Master Classes, I have found that treasure, which is Christ. And I have a renewed closeness to the Lord and a renewed knowledge of God’s Eternal Purpose and where I belong in it. But more than that, I feel His grace working in me. I highly recommend The Deeper Christian Life Network!” ~ Wendy Dunning

If you don’t have time to keep up with the Master Class audios or discussions, no problem. You can go through the audio messages at your own pace. They will always be on the site for you to access and the discussion forums will always be open.

“Since joining The Deeper Christian Life Network, I have found myself feeling less alone and more connected with my fellow brothers and sisters around the world. I look forward to Mondays because the new material is life-changing and useful throughout the week. Instead of having to process the new unveilings of Jesus Christ on my own, it’s helpful to see other people’s thoughts and insights. It’s been the start of a wonderful shared journey.” ~ Logan Gardner

“The Deeper Christian Life Network has been such an uplifting experience for me. At anytime I can log on and learn with other Christians who are seeking a deeper relationship with our Lord. It’s a safe place to ask questions and share. Seeing the comments shared by brothers and sisters from all over the world has been such a blessing and extremely encouraging! Frank’s messages have been captivating and always on point. I’ve been so thirsty for this knowledge and wisdom, and I’m always looking forward to each new Master Class session!” ~ Jazette Smillie

“The Deeper Christian Life Network has been a pleasant surprise to me. When I hear the Master Classes, I frequently get the feeling, Of course! That is how it fits together! Why did I never realize that? But the overall big picture is new to me and a real revelation. The bits and pieces that I have been finding in the Bible on my own finally fit together and make sense. And of course, there is a rich variety of fellow-travelers from whom I learn a lot as well, especially on the application side. One of the most important things the Lord has been teaching me through the network is the importance of the community of believers. As we learn together, we are starting to function like the church should. I am excited and expectant to learn more.” ~ Chavoux Luyt

“The Deeper Christian Life Network has been a real blessing to me. I have enjoyed interacting with brothers and sisters in Christ who are seeking a more in-depth, intimate relationship with King Jesus. It has also been encouraging to see how other people respond to Frank’s spoken messages and writings on Jesus. The Scriptural game-changers have probably been my favorite part of the site. No wait, it’s the Sneak Previews that I’ve loved most. Never mind, the Master Classes have been my favorite. Basically – there’s a lot of fresh, challenging material on the network – so I cannot choose a favorite. It’s also been great to see Frank’s respond to other people’s questions. The best is yet to come for this new ministry!” ~ Randi Jo Rooks

“The Deeper Christian Life Network has met such a need in my life and is truly an answer to prayer! Since joining the network, I no longer feel alone in my pursuit of Jesus. The network has provided opportunities for growth that I never imagined. Frank’s gift of sharing deep spiritual insights continues to amaze me, but there is the added benefit of reading the personal reflections on the topics from other brothers and sisters, which deepens the impact of the teaching. I believe this allows the Lord to speak through each member in a unique way. Hearing how the Lord is working in each of our lives helps me see how we are all moving deeper in Christ, and it encourages me in my walk. Seeing with what love and grace the members support one another is also, in and of itself, a beautiful expression of Christ and something I didn’t expect. The Lord is using it in my life to reveal more of Himself to me. I highly recommend it!” ~ Barb Heidt

“For me, the best part of The Deeper Christian Life Network is simply seeing how so many people are letting go of things related to Christ to obtain Christ Himself. Beyond that, I am impressed with how much Frank directly interacts with us. So we not only are connecting with each other, but with him. And though he’s just a man like the rest of us, he has great insight into the person of Jesus and knows how to inspire love for Him.” ~ Philip Keiter

“Being part of The Deeper Christian Life Network has been one of those unexpected, yet beautiful surprises from the Lord upon my life. The network has been one of the most amazing answers that God has given to me, and it’s put an end to my loneliness. I never imagined that so many people around the world have the same longings, the same mindset, the same vision, and the same passion about our Lord. Frank’s Master Classes have overwhelmed me. They’ve caused me to see the beauty of our Lord and look at His very heart and intentions like never before. They are so inspiring that I often weep as I hear them. I am receiving constant inspiration from Frank and from a large number of beautiful brothers and sisters who are on the network also. Praise the Lord for His mysterious, yet lovely way of answering my prayers!” ~ Pat Linda

“The Deeper Life Network is a great way for Christians to supplement their walk with the Lord. The network has so many tools that allow participants to dive deeper into the heart of Christ through analyzing certain passages of Scripture in depth, audio messages, Q&A sessions with Frank, Hot Seat sessions where participants help other members tackle problems through open sharing, and more. In summary, the network is a safe environment for Christians to network and explore the depths of Christ together safely.” ~ Kalil Harrigan

“Because it transcends all the isms that divide the church and because it focuses totally on Christ, The Deeper Christian Life Network is challenging my faith in so many ways — to think differently.” ~ Barry Cram

“The wisdom and knowledge the network participants have given me has been so kind and encouraging, and it has confirmed what God had spoken to me on the same subjects.” ~ Melissa Leigh
