For Seventh-day Adventists Who Long to Walk Closer With Jesus

Experience the Beauty, Presence, and Nearness of God—Every Single Day.

With Withness, the Daily Devotional App: Centred on Jesus, rooted in the Sanctuary, and drenched in God’s love.

As Seventh-day Adventists, we believe in a God who longs to dwell with us.

The sanctuary tells that story—of divine presence, nearness, and beauty. But most devotional apps don’t reflect that. They focus on surface-level inspiration that never really gets to the wonder and mystery of God’s heart. Withness is different. It’s a daily devotional app built on the foundation of sanctuary theology… where God isn’t distant or angry, but radically near.

If you’ve been searching for a devotional that’s biblically rich, gospel-centered, and built around the beauty of God's presence, this is it.

A Devotional Rhythm Shaped by the Sanctuary

Withness isn't just built on Adventist beliefs—it’s built on Adventist beauty. At the heart of our theology is the sanctuary: God's bold declaration that He doesn't want distance. He wants nearness. Presence. Daily communion.

That’s what Withness invites you into—not a checklist, but a rhythm. Not performance, but presence.

Every devotional is crafted to help you:

Feel Closer to God

Encounter the love of Jesus in a way that’s personal, real, and beautifully simple.

Carve out a rhythm of stillness that centers your mind and calms your heart with the precense of God.

Experience Peace

Grow Without Pressure

Be gently transformed through grace-filled reflections that invite—not demand.

What You'll Discover Inside

  • Daily Devotionals

    Poetic, Scripture-rooted reflections to begin or end your day with beauty and depth.

  • Guided Series

    Themed journeys that explore joy, grief, presence, identity, and gospel wonder.

    Join small, intimate group sessions (runs in cycles) with others for safe, Jesus-centered explorations.

  • In Depth Courses

    Structured learning experiences to help you go deeper in your faith without overwhelm.

What Makes Withness Different?

Withness is the first devotional app that is rooted in the Sanctuary, anchored in the Great Controversy, and centred in the beauty and wonder of Jesus… all at once.

Here’s what you’ll experience every single day:

  • 1. Heart-Stirring, High-Quality Reflections

    You’ll never open Withness and find a cheesy, repetetive, or overused devotional. Every reflection is written to stir the soul, stretch the mind, and spark real connection with God. If it doesn’t move us, we don’t publish it.

  • 2. Theology Rooted in the Sanctuary

    The sanctuary isn’t just an Old Testament idea—it’s the center of how we understand the heart of God. The entire story of Scripture is built around His desire to dwell with us. Withness isn’t built on control, fear, or rules. It’s built on proximity. Presence. God’s longing to be close.

  • 3. Trauma-Informed by Design

    We believe that God is beautiful, so every devotional is written to reflect this. We also know a lot of religion has caused harm. That’s why we focus on the healing teachings of Jesus—not physical healings, but the way His words restore the nervous system, soothe anxious hearts, and rebuild trust in the goodness of God.

About the Creator

Hi! I’m Pastor Marcos and you might know me from my best selling Bible study guide, “The Road: A Journey Through the Narrative of Scripture”

But for those who don’t know me here’s a super short bio: I believe God is beautiful.

And I believe he calls us to walk in that beauty, to be immersed in it, hydrated by it, and transformed.

That’s why I created Withness - the only daily devotional app that explores the sanctuary heart of God through all of scripture. But I didn’t just make this to nurture Adventist believers…

I made it to reach the world.

After 10 years of full time ministry as an ordained pastor in the SDA church here is what I learned: very few people believe that God is actually good. Most see him through the lens of church traditions that make him appear angry, distant, controlling, and coercive. They are afraid of him so naturally, they avoid him.

This is why I believe the mission today is to make his character - that is his heart - known to the world.

Withness is a devotional tool to nurture your walk with God, yes. But it is also an evangelistic tool to bring the beauty of God to people around the world with a simple message: His heart is good.

If you want to grow closer to God and also be part of the mission of spreading his beauty to the world, please consider becoming a paid subscriber of Withness today.

For only $2.99 a month (limited time offer), you will be financing mission, innovation, and evangelism that reveals the goodness of God’s heart to those who need it most.

With love,
Pastor Marcos
