መተ 2:25

Our world is full of men, but God is looking for kingdom men who will rise up and take responsibility for their own actions, their families, their churches and their communities. When we have leadership like that taking hold, God will be magnified through every aspect of our lives.

Our outward features and our abilities are not the essence of who we are and should never be given the defining voice in our life. We must discover God’s assessment of our worth and true potential. As a woman of significance, you are encouraged to agree with who God says you are! The powerful truth about identity is this: You will never know yourself until you know yourself in God.

As New York pastor Rich Villodas defines it, a deeply formed life is a life marked by integration, intersection, intertwining, and interweaving, holding together multiple layers of spiritual formation. This kind of life calls us to be people who cultivate lives with God in prayer, move toward reconciliation, work for justice, have healthy inner lives, and see our bodies and sexuality as gifts to steward.
