Self

Every person is created in the image of God with inherent dignity and worth. This powerful identity enables us to live with a healthy self-image and sense of purpose. When our view of ourselves gets broken, we live out of a distorted sense of identity. We experience anxiety, fear, aimlessness. But the good news is, reconciliation with ourselves is possible. Through Jesus, we can overcome personal poverty and live from our God-given identity.
