Hello My Name Is

God sees us differently than the negative labels we often wear. When we belong to Christ, everything about us is made new according to 2 Corinthians 5:17.

To embrace our true identity, we must let God define us, refuse to be confined by our past, and know that God stands behind us. By tearing down false altars in our lives and standing firm on God's truth, we...
