Every human being has struggled with insecurity. Part of the human condition involves the struggle to see ourselves rightly knowing that we are significant, valuable, noble and lovely past all our ways of being that or not. Inferiority and superiority all stem from faulty perspectives. How do we love self without narcissism? Join me as I unpack this important message.

The word, “meta-narrative”, is a fancy sounding word describing our foundational assumptions (rarely questioned) that weave into story form in our thinking. This story --and it's particular assumptions-- influence how and why each one of us see and interpret data, events, and experiences the way we do. They affect how we see God, ourselves, our relationships, and every aspect of our lives. To grow requires that we are aware that we have meta-narratives and that we are humble and open to having them challenged as Holy Spirit leads us into all Truth.

God adores His kids, and has given us EVERYTHING we need in life and to become the beautiful, powerful people we are. We receive everything and walk in fullness because we are sons and daughters, one with God. This requires healing of our mindsets of the sense of separation from God, where we feel like orphans and servants. Join me for this empowering, healing message!

We live in a supercharged world of offense, division, and polarization. Christ prayed that we would be one as He and the Father are one. To answer the prayer, we as sons and daughters of God, were given one commandment - to love and God loves. Love and His eternal commandment is so sweeping, nuanced, and impossible in and of ourselves, that we continually need to bathe in His love and grow in our revelation of Him. Join me as I explore this in fresh and beautiful new ways.
