Handcrafted

We Are Not DIY

April 14, 2019 • Michael Curl

We get it into our heads that we are supposed to do life on our own. That if we can't do it, we are worthless and garbage, destined for the trash. All of this is http://true...if we were meant to do it on our http://own...but were we?

Crafted to Create

March 31, 2019 • Daniel Knutson

From the beginning, words have had significant power. How we choose to use our words can teardown and destroy or build up and give life. What will you choose to speak into existence?

Crafted to Lead

March 31, 2019 • Daniel Knutson

We are all leading someone to somewhere. We often don't have a choice as to who we lead, but we do have a choice in how we lead and what we lead them to. Where will you lead them?

Crafted to Represent God

March 24, 2019 • Daniel Knutson

How you live, what you say, what you do, and how you act represents something. It communicates to the world what you believe and what you value. Based on what you do, what would the world say you believe in and value?

Lies Others Tell Us

March 17, 2019 • Daniel Knutson

We can put too much weight into what others say and think about us. Social media, other Christians, those who don’t believe in Jesus—everyone has an opinion. Worse, we can be called a hypocrite, crazy, Jesus Freak, etc. We get attacked by our friends, our family, other Christians, Satan...anything to distract us from recognizing we are made on purpose with a purpose.

You Are Adopted

March 10, 2019 • Michael Curl

While we praise and think well of people who adopt, the same is not always true for how we think about those in need of adoption. There is a lot of baggage, heartache, trauma, abuse, etc. attached to our ideas of adoption and it colors how we think about God adopting us. Learn why we need to adjust our thinking on this important issue!

Lies We Tell Ourselves

March 3, 2019

How you treat yourself says a lot about how much value you believe you have. When our footing is shaken and the lies and myths we whisper to ourselves begin to overbear and rule over our identity, what can be done to cure our insecurity?

Identity Crisis

February 24, 2019 • Michael Curl

We all want to get somewhere with our lives. We set goals, take actions, try to move the ball down the field. Yet over and over again we find ourselves sidetracked because we don't know who we are http://now...let alone in the future. How do we answer that question though? Should it be set upon what the world thinks or something http://deeper...more true?
