About the journal

A space for faith and real life.

Explore devotionals, Scripture, and honest questions that help us find our way back to God.

Hello, friend. Welcome to the fam! I'm Rachel Kapanga, the woman behind A Cup of Jesus. I gave my life to Christ at the age of 17, and I believe that to be the best decision of my life. Jesus did not just save my soul; He gave me back purpose and the desire to live again. He showed me that after the storm, beauty could be found again. I’m deeply passionate about the Kingdom, preaching the Gospel, and reaching people exactly where they are. Whether you stumbled across this space by accident or came searching for something deeper, I don’t believe it’s a coincidence. God has a way of leading us right where we need to be, even when we don’t recognize it at first. A Cup of Jesus was born out of a generation crying out, not for more noise or surface-level answers, but for more of God. I saw the ache. I felt it too. And in that ache, God stirred something in me, a desire to create a space that feels like home for the hungry-hearted.

I know what it is like to go to church, pray, and read your Bible while still feeling that something is missing. I have searched for answers to questions we are often afraid to ask. If you want to know Jesus more deeply and are unsure where to begin, I hope this space helps you take that next step.

I am a believer who is still growing and is deeply in love with Jesus. I want to see others walk in healing, wholeness, and holiness. I do not pretend to have all the answers, but I want to walk with you as you seek the One who does.

“As a deer pants for flowing streams, so pants my soul for you, O God.” (Psalm 42:1)
