Beginning A Relationship With Jesus

Our world is obsessed with identity. From political affiliation to ancestral background, everyone is desperate to know who and what they are. As Christians, our identities are grounded in Jesus Christ. In this 5-day reading plan, we will walk through five analogistic identities that Jesus Himself compared us with: the soldier, the athlete, the shepherd, the farmer, and the wife (the bride). 

The Secrets of Your Identity Illustrations

I have written this study with the purpose of helping you abide in your identity in Christ. Through my studies of the Bible, I have learned that it is the key to a thriving relationship with God.

Learning to Abide in Your Christ Given Identity 

Our world is more divided than ever—politics, identity, justice, and faith all collide in ways that leave us confused, angry, or hopeless. But what if the Bible has more to say about today’s biggest issues than we realize? This plan will challenge your thinking, deepen your faith, and equip you to engage today’s culture with wisdom, truth, and grace.

Thinking Christian: A Counter-Culture Worldview

Culture, church, and life have sold us narratives about who we’re supposed to be as women. We feel driven to people-please, downplay, and perform.

With new perspectives and focus, we will stand confidently upon the finished work of Jesus and live boldly in our callings.

Stand in Confidence: From Sinking in Insecurity to Rising in Your God-Given Identity

Without us knowing it, we need silence. During times of silence, we can become still before God and listen again. The voices of the world and even my own thoughts become muted. We need these times to refocus on God and understand who we are. 

Silence: Its Power and Necessity

After your decision to accept Christ as your savior, you have been forever changed. The old is gone. You are a new creation. No matter if you are a new follower of Christ or have been following Him for a long time, this plan will help you gain a better understanding of who you are in Christ and what it means to truly be a follower of Christ. Gaining a better sense of your identity in Christ will help you move forward and take your next steps to accomplish all that God has called you to do.
