The Truth About You

February - March 2018

Dreamers

March 25, 2018 • Stephanie Benthin

God’s people have always been dreamers. And dreams are often God’s catalyst to propel us into his vision for our identity and calling. But when those dreams finally come to pass, they are usually different, harder, and longer … but also better.

How We Grow

March 18, 2018 • Forrest Jenan

It’s one thing to discover your identity and calling; it’s a whole other thing to actually grow and mature into the somebody who is like Jesus, and in doing so, your real, true self.

Vocation

March 11, 2018 • Forrest Jenan

We often think of work as a means to an end, to get what we need to do what we want. Our work environment tends to be overlooked when we think of true ministry. But what if we could discover ways to have our inner calling as Jesus followers move it’s way outward and into our vocation?

Our Shadow Side

March 4, 2018 • Forrest Jenan

You can’t get very far down the path of transformation until you discover your identity and calling, but this journey of self-discovery takes us straight into the maw of the beast: our sin. And even more: what some call our “shadow side.” But until we expose our blind spots to the light, we will never experience the life that Jesus has for all his followers.

Identity

February 25, 2018 • Bryan Muirhead

For most of us, our identity is rooted in earth – what we do, what we have, what other people think of us, etc. But for followers of Jesus our identity is rooted in who we are becoming in Christ.

The Journey

February 18, 2018 • Forrest Jenan

An overview of the journey all followers of Jesus are invited to go on. In ways that few people recognize, the journey into self-awareness is also the road to spiritual formation. As we become more like Jesus, we become more like our real, true self. It takes courage to go on this journey, but it’s worth every harrowing, beautiful step.
