Your identity is an integral part of who you are, woven into the very fabric of your being. It informs your view of yourself, dictates what you do, and even defines who you are. Sometimes this can be a good thing, other times it can have devastating consequences. That's why God actually offers a BETTER identity. One that is solid, immovable, and significantly more secure than the identities we've...

The moment you gave your life to Jesus, God bestowed upon you incredible purpose and potential! In fact, He desired to take you from an empty life to one that full with eternal purpose, but there are some things within each of us that can keep us from experiencing that purpose and fulfilling our potential if we're not willing to crush them.

But here's the thing: who you decide to be and how you decide to love has life-altering potential and impact and you won't know who it impacts until you act!

Love often requires us to do something out of the ordinary or unconventional. It may seem odd or feel foreign, but love knows no bounds. And here's the thing when we choose to love others the way Jesus has loved us: It must always be visible and it must always accurately display who God is.

It's like we've been yoyo-ing back and forth between the good an...

Do you find yourself struggling to make sense of this year, or your life? If "hindsight is 20/20" how come we still can't figure out what's going? Maybe that's because we're not always meant to look behind us, but actually to what's ahead of us.

In our lives, it's so easy to get distracted or sidetracked by current events, circumstances, or our own personal interests. But as we learn to follow Jesus, it's so important that we make the decision to walk in agreement with God so that we can experience His best for our lives.
