You Are Enough (And So Am I)
It is absolutely vital that we change our mindset if we would change the world around us. Despite what anyone says, you are accepted. You are loved. You are enough.

Confession – De-Churched Part 2
We don't talk enough about this, because it means admitting that we don't have it all together. It would mean admitting that we are still growing, and that we don't have all the answers.

In an age of spiritual lethargy and complacency, I believe it is more important than ever for believers to remind ourselves of our purpose. It's all well and good to study complex matters of theology, but I also think we should remind ourselves that Christ never called us to crawl into a hole and await the Second Coming. We often say "God loves you and has a wonderful plan for your life', yet we are usually fuzzy on what that 'wonderful plan is'.
