We all want our lives to count for something. Many of us love to be in the spotlight. But when it comes to following Jesus, often the real superstars are the ones serving on the sidelines. Connect with us further at storyperu.com

Taking back your life has to be rooted in taking back your faith. A religion you can control has no power to save your soul. Connect with us further at storyperu.com

Taking back our life starts with taking control of our thoughts. We can't live right if we are thinking wrong. We have to learn how to turn up the voice of God in our lives. Connect with us further at storyperu.com

All of us tend towards either a fight or flight reaction. But when it comes to the shameful parts of our lives, we can choose another option — faith. God will never use shame as a motivator in our lives. Connect with us further at storyperu.com

In Week One of this series we discussed how to use our money as a means to an end. Connect with us further at storyperu.com
