Glenn Packiam

Pastor // Author // Practical Theologian

The Church today has lost its way. We've pursued the wrong priorities, put our hope in personalities, and elevated popularity over spiritual maturity. As culture wars rage and competing voices argue, many Christians are left asking a basic question...

What's a Christian, anyway?

If you have you ever struggled to connect deeply and honestly with your faith…
If you have experienced a disconnection from Christianity as you’ve seen it get corrupted or co-opted…
If you’ve watched as church leaders have fallen and you’ve felt like walking away…
If you live with a kind of spiritual homelessness, wondering where you belong…

This book is for you.

The Intentional Year

A Guided Journey into Freedom, Peace, and Purpose

Most of us never stop. Work, school, church, friendships, family—life seems to be a rush from one responsibility or activity to the next. But it doesn’t have to be that way. There’s a more abundant way to live.

In The Intentional Year, Holly and Glenn Packiam invite you on a journey to live purposefully into the season ahead. You’ll reflect on your past season, discern God’s call on what’s next, and examine five key spheres of life—prayer, rest, renewal, relationships, work—to pursue a life of peace and freedom.

Full of stories and examples, insights and ideas, reflection prompts and discussion points, and practices that will engage your mind, body, and spirit, these pages offer a practical and empowering pathway into a more sustainable life.

Rooted in the love of God, you can abide in Christ and join the Holy Spirit in cultivating a flourishing and fruitful life that will glorify God and bring good to the world around you.
