okay, let’s meet the team
ahh, I’m so glad you’re here!
Btw I'm Janine, the girl behind the words
The founder, dreamer, and heart behind this corner of the internet. I’ve got so much on my heart to share with you, but let’s take it step by step. Come get to know me, more about ADP, and the others who are on this journey with us!
How It Started
A heartbreak, a book purchase that required me to get lost in everything that Jesus is, and a fire ignited that I couldn’t ignore and had to share with everyone I met.
I began pursuing Jesus relentlessly and wholeheartedly, giving Him everything I had and asked Him the same thing Isaiah did, “Here I am Lord, send me”.
It’s been a rollercoaster of a ride, with deep valleys and high mountain tops. I know the journey is not over yet, in fact, this is simply the next chapter. And I can’t wait to see what comes next.

THE NEXT CHAPTER
After a ton of praying and multiple conversations, I got to work shifting Relentless Pursuit to A Deeper Pursuit by bringing those who had been supporting behind the scenes, to the front line.
Today, by the hand of God, A Deeper Pursuit is a family-run ministry with the heart to help all who stumble across our corner of the world to pursue Jesus relentlessly and deeper in their everyday life, every single season of their life.

ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER
Words, although the heartbeat, could only go so far. Actions speak louder. So the shift went from encouraging to both encouraging & equipping others to pursue Jesus, relentlessly & deeper.
And that’s when the story in Matthew 14 of Peter walking on water to Jesus captured attention. There was an application within the verses that were not only relevant but vital to the flourishing life God has promised those who seek Him.
No matter the season of life, when we keep our eyes on Him and take steps of faith, He will draw us deeper with Him.

THE WHISPER WAS “PURSUE”
Since then, it’s been just that, a relentless pursuit of Jesus and sharing that journey along the way.
The verse for Relentless Pursuit was revealed, Matthew 18:12, and the vision shifted ever slightly- encouraging others to relentlessly pursue Jesus and pointing out that they are the ONE that Jesus leaves the 99 to pursue after.
But there was something more that was missing.

THE YEAR I GOT LOST
I purchased a book titled, “Get Lost”, and every single page I turned, I wanted to share it with everybody I knew and everyone I met. So I started a blog, and the rest, as they say, was history.
Four years into it, I was tired of getting lost and wanted direction. Sitting 30,000 feet in the air, I heard a whisper so clearly to my heart that changed everything.
A Few Of My Favorite Things
01
journaling bible
I cannot live without my journaling bible – I LOVE being able to jot down what God has to tell me and then be able to look back when I come across that section again.
02
daily grace devotionals
The Daily Grace Co. Devotionals are the perfect addition to your quiet time with Jesus. They are also perfect for those busy seasons of life where you want more of Jesus than the Bible App devotionals.
03
no bleed gel highlighters
I’ve tried a lot of highlighters– like a LOT, and these by far are my favorite. They don’t bleed, they’re not sticky, and they simply glide on the pages in stunning colors.
04
bible commentaries
This Illustrated Bible Commentary is one of my absolute favorites for learning more information about the stories in the Bible. It’s a must get!
