What defines you? 

Do you struggle with feelings of uncertainty about who you are?

Do you wish you were more confident in your identity?

Think about the different titles that characterize your sense of self: relational status, skills, work, etc. You might say, “I am a mother,” “I am an artist,” or “I am a restaurant hostess.” Looking deeper, you may even find “I am…” followed by negative beliefs: “I am a failure,” or “I am not worthy.”

Identity must be rooted in the right thing. Knowing who you are shapes your character, values, and how you navigate the world, relationships, work, and every facet of life.

Meet Him in the pages of His Word, the Bible, to discover your true self. His saving work is the solid ground on which you can know who you are and for what you were made.
