You’re actually perfectly designed and equipped for everything God has planned for you.     Tune in for a few everyday examples from Joyce, Ginger, Jai and Erin that will help you remember this game-changing truth and see yourself the way God does—as His cherished child with a unique destiny, much-needed purpose, and immeasurable potential.
