In a world of shifting foundations, Cathy Garland invites us to see that when everything seems to be falling apart, Christ stands as the indestructible cornerstone. Through her journey of divorce, miscarriages, a broken neck, and waiting on the promise of a child, Cathy discovered that the God who sees us (El Roi) and declares His truth (Jehovah Nissi) is not just a theological concept—but a living reality. Her co‑written book Revelationship (with father Dr. Randy Colver) guides readers into the many ways God reveals Himself and pursues intimacy with us. 


How the concept “Revelationship”—God revealing Himself to us as He pursues relationship—was born, and why it matters. 


Why our spiritual lives can languish if we limit how God can reveal Himself (or emphasize one form of revelation over another). 


Real‑life stories of suffering and redemption: from deconstruction of faith at age 13, through brokenness and waiting, to a renewed pursuit of Christ.


The invitation: To rediscover your identity in Christ, to let Him meet your deepest needs, wrestle your hardest questions, and heal your greatest hurts.
