  • You were created by God and for God. You were created in His image. God longs for you to believe in Him and for you to believe in yourself. He desires for you to discover the greatness He has deposited on the inside of you.

  • When you start believing and understanding the greatness and the power that is in you, you recognize that you have a purpose. It’s a God given purpose. It’s a God sized purpose. It’s all about a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

  • Inspiring the world is all about influencing those around you. It’s depositing seeds of greatness in others. It’s sharing the love of Christ to them. The world needs you.

Have you ever gotten to the point where you feel like there has got to be more to this life than just the here and now?  Once you fully comprehend that there is more to life, and when you realize that life is just a preparation for eternity — you begin to live differently — you begin to handle every relationship differently, every task, every encounter, every circumstance differently — your goals, desires, activites all change.

Show me your friends and I’ll show you your future. You will never get to where you are called to be in this life on your own. You need the right circle. You need friends who love you unconditionally, who empower, encourage and affirm you. Who believe and see the best in you, giving you new thoughts to think, pushing you to go further, to not give up, to go at it harder, to dream bigger dreams, and to be intentional in all you do.

We should never do life alone. We all have weight we are carrying around and before we ever expect it, we become burdened and trapped. It’s called stress and anxiety. It impacts every area of our lives and no one is immune from it. We can’t treat it alone. Our self medication doesn’t work. We have to get with others that care and point us to the source.

There is freedom when we get open and real with friends that care. It becomes empowering and encouraging as we help carry each other’s burdens and point each other to the only source that can take the weight off of us. Through Christ as our source , no pressure, no stress, no anxiety will ever be too great for us to handle. LETSDOTHIS TOGETHER!

“God can do anything, you know—far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams! He does it not by pushing us around but by working within us, his Spirit deeply and gently within us.” Ephesians 3:20
