BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — What if the Christian life was never intended to be lived alone? In his forthcoming book, Christ in You: Experiencing Intimacy with Jesus (Brookstone Publishing Group, July 21, 2026), author Gary York invites readers to rediscover one of Scripture’s most profound yet often overlooked truths: Jesus Christ lives within His followers and desires daily, intimate relationship with them.
Drawing from Scripture, personal stories, spiritual formation, global missions experience, entrepreneurship, and decades of walking with Christ, York presents a compelling vision of the Christian life centered on the apostle Paul’s declaration: “Christ in you, the hope of glory” (Colossians 1:27).
“Many believers know about Jesus but long to experience His presence more deeply in everyday life,” York says. “This book explores how Christ’s indwelling presence reshapes our relationship with God, our identity, and our purpose.”
York brings a unique perspective to the conversation. A graduate of the Renovaré Institute with a PhD from Carnegie Mellon University, he has served internationally with Food for the Hungry, founded multiple technology companies, and completed six of the World Marathon Majors. His diverse experiences inform a message that is both deeply theological and remarkably practical.
The book has garnered endorsements from respected Christian leaders, including Collin Hansen, vice president and editor-in-chief of The Gospel Coalition, who writes:
“Revival could be in store as Christians and churches experience this intimate union with our Creator and Redeemer.”
Interview topics include:
- What does “Christ in you” actually mean?
- Why many Christians struggle to experience God’s presence
- Spiritual formation in everyday life
- Finding intimacy with Christ amid busy schedules
- Lessons learned from missions, entrepreneurship, and endurance sports
- The transformative power of union with Christ
Christ in You releases July 21, 2026, in paperback, hardcover, and ebook formats.
