How can the BODY affect our breakthrough journey? In this series, we are exploring five areas where we often need a breakthrough. The first of these five engines that drive our emotions is the body.

Two realms want to define your identity: the Kingdom & the Kosmos. The Kingdom teaches us how to see reality, God, and ourselves as God sees. The Kosmos teaches us via the world, the flesh, and the devil working together to give us an identity and affect what we believe. In Part 2 of the […]
God designed us to know ourselves based on relational identity. Over the next couple weeks, we'll be reviewing identity formation from the angles of brain science, Scripture, spiritual warfare, and community.
