The second step to getting through heartache, loss, and hopelessness is to have the right identity. The Bible tells us that we are new creatures in Christ. The old self is gone! Instead of building your identity around your struggles by saying, "my sickness, my anger, my failure, my loss" we can align our identity in Christ by saying, "this isn't like me. It's no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me!"
You will also hear an inspirational story interview with Randy Lagerquist who learned the importance of finding her true identity in Christ in the midst of crisis and loneliness.

Now What?
Quitters, Campers, and Climbers
June 10, 2018 • Pastor Frank Montgomery
In the series conclusion of "Now What", Pastor Frank talks about the three different ways that we can choose to handle adversity and struggle. You can either quit and give up when you meet opposition, you can go a little ways and set up camp and get comfortable with "good enough", or you can put on your climbing gear and fight and claw to the top as you summit to God's best for your life. No matter where you are on your journey, decide to take one step forward as you get through the heartaches, loss, and hopelessness of life.
