Faith was very young when her parents chose her to be their daughter. Faith was given the opportunity to grow up in a loving Christian home where she became a member of a new family, received a new identity, a new name, and eventually a new inheritance. She was chosen! God spoke a lot to Faith about her true identity in Christ. He made beauty from her ashes and she found a lot of encouragement in the Bible and other sources. God was calling her to be her best self. “Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you; before you were born, I sanctified you; and I ordained you a prophet to the nations.” Jeremiah 1:5 Resources: "Search for Significance" - Robert McGee "Changes that Heal"- Henry Cloud Podcasts/Sermons Bible -(Specifically loves of Abraham, Job, and Moses) “Jesus is Calling,” Nicholas James Vujicic is an Australian-American Christian evangelist and motivational speaker.

You're not your job, you're not your title. Our identity is in Him. He truly wants us to see ourselves as a son or a daughter. You can do things from your identity, not for your identity. When you start to see how much He loves you, how He already sees you, you don't have to perform, and that changes the game in everything. That identity is who you are, not what you're performing to be. - Tim Moore If you are struggling with your identity in Christ, consider these resources: When Heaven Invades Earth: A practical guide to a life of miracles By: Bill Johnson https://www.christianbook.com/heaven-invades-earth-practical-guide-miracles/bill-johnson/9780768429527/pd/42954?utm_source=google&kw=47259373575&mt=&dv=c&event=PPCSRC&p=1186432&gclid=CjwKCAiAiP2tBhBXEiwACslfnvc6UYFxDeoB1Pob4pD5Vg0giySXgtWY7XTiVojDbSjrGjSryY3iAxoCLV8QAvD_BwE Hosting the Presence: Unveiling Heaven's Agenda By: Bill Johnson https://www.christianbook.com/hosting-the-presence-unveiling-heavens-agenda/bill-johnson/9780768441291/pd/441295?en=google&event=SHOP&kw=christian-living-0-20%7C441295&p=1179710&utm_source=google&dv=c&cb_src=google&cb_typ=shopping&cb_cmp=1065616555&cb_adg=51462729079&cb_kyw=&utm_medium=shopping&snav=GMERCH&gclid=CjwKCAiAiP2tBhBXEiwACslfnldgR1JUrGobcnLgMk984zUhrMYBOIM7DKAt1ID_s4YCwFmDAxTgFxoCBSQQAvD_BwE

In the worst moment, I stood in my kitchen and asked the Lord to give the command to save me. And he did. I wish I could say the saving came easily or quickly, but it did not. It came with difficult decisions, heartbreak, and mistakes. The saving came when I was ready to say, "Your will, not mine," and mean it. The saving came with my full surrender.

When was the last time you thought about your soul? Dan Russell, founder of New Sound Concerts and The Soulfest, New England's largest Christian music festival, invites believers to step back from the lights and glamour of Christian music and consider the eternal nature of their soul, the unconditional love that Jesus demonstrated for us on the cross, and the resulting freedom and fearlessness that empowers the believer to stand up and fight for the oppressed and the hurting. Dan has been educating festival goers about the realities of human trafficking since the early days, and paved the way for many other social justice organizations to engage, educate, and equip people for the fight against injustice worldwide. Dan also shares insights into what it takes to put on such a massive event, reflects on his travels with U2, and gives hints about the future location of Soulfest in the coming years.
