Epiphany celebrates the revelation of Christ to the world — a season of light, wonder, and manifestation. The Epiphany Challenge invites you to journey from January 6 to January 12 with Scripture, reflection, and simple practices that deepen your experience of Christ's light shining forth.
Drawing from the traditional Epiphany themes — the Magi’s adoration, the Baptism of the Lord, and the Wedding at Cana — this challenge turns the week into a joyful meditation on how Christ is revealed to all nations and in our own lives.
Explore the full daily journey in the Epiphany Daily Guide web app, which provides complete devotions for each day, or watch the full series on the YouTube playlist.
Whether you want to pray, build something creative, or produce content, this challenge meets you where you are.
