It has given each of us a unique identity that is ours to discover and live out. It is from this true identity that we live the life God intended each of us to live, not as a hyped-up promise of destiny but of a true, life-changing purpose.<\/p>\r\n<p>Yet so often, especially in the first half of our lives, instead of discovering who we are made to be, we adapt to what we think we are supposed to be. In this adapting, we lose sight of our true selves and miss out on knowing the fullness of the love God has always had for us.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-1eba81bbd4b7987884d40eaced2b504d\">        <div class=\"rmwr-wrapper\" \n             data-id=\"rmwr-6a1ab2cf64de4\"\n             data-mode=\"normal\"\n             data-animation=\"fade\"\n             data-duration=\"300\"\n             data-smooth-scroll=\"true\"\n             data-scroll-offset=\"0\">\n            <button \n                type=\"button\"\n                class=\"read-link\" \n                id=\"readlinkrmwr-6a1ab2cf64de4\"\n                data-open-text=\"Read More\"\n                data-close-text=\"Read Less\"\n                aria-expanded=\"false\"\n                aria-controls=\"readrmwr-6a1ab2cf64de4\"\n                aria-label=\"Read More\"\n            >\n                <span class=\"rmwr-text\">Read More<\/span>\n            <\/button>\n            <div \n                class=\"read_div\" \n                id=\"readrmwr-6a1ab2cf64de4\"\n                aria-hidden=\"true\"\n                data-animation=\"fade\"\n                data-duration=\"300\"\n                style=\"display: none;\"\n            >\n                \r\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-1eba81bbd4b7987884d40eaced2b504d\">But what if it didn\u2019t have to be this way? What if we could actually receive His love, know our true self and live out this expression of Him on the earth?<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-c6f7bb8ca8f73d41eddac7b814d1a5c6\">We believe we can. And it is the invitation for every human being to follow Jesus into this discovery of His Goodness and Love for us all.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-aabad21bbc583053dea922c649fdf9ac\">So often we have been told and believed that the real ministry is for those in the pulpit on Sundays or on the mission field. But we believe Jesus modeled for us a way of living in The Kingdom that sees all of life as mission, for all people. It is time we live out the truth that there is no separation between God and His creation anywhere on earth and His love is flowing to all and in all. The Kingdom is at work and at hand in the here and now. And your role in that is vital.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-5cfd4b81ef4d67b47a6e8522bdb21789\">Over these nine months, we want to equip you to discover this. Through deep, rich &amp; intentional community we want to create space for you to discover who you have always truly been. And we know that as you hear from Him, you will begin to step into all He has for you to bless the world around you.             <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n        \r\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221;
