It Was An Ugly Couch Anyway
$19.99A collection of refreshingly honest and hilarious essays from Southern Living columnist Elizabeth Passarella about navigating change–whether emotional or logistical–and staying sane during life’s unexpected twists and turns.
After Elizabeth Passarella and her husband finally decided that it was time to sell their two-bedroom apartment in Manhattan, she found herself wondering, Is there a proper technique for skinning a couch? The couch in question was a beloved hand-me-down from her father–who had recently passed away–and she was surprisingly reluctant to let the nine-foot, plaid, velour-covered piece of furniture go. So, out came the scissors. She kept the fabric and tossed the couch.
We’ve all had to make decisions in our lives about what to keep and what to toss–habits, attitudes, friends, even homes. In this new collection of essays, Elizabeth explores the ups and downs of moving forward–both emotionally and logistically–with her welcome candor and sense of humor that readers have come to love. She enters into a remarkable (and strange) relationship with an elderly neighbor whose apartment she hopes to buy, examines her own stubborn stances on motherhood and therapy, and tries to come to terms with a family health crisis that brings more questions than answers. Along the way Elizabeth reminds readers that when they feel stuck or their load feels heavy, there is always light breaking in somewhere.
It Was an Ugly Couch Anyway will make readers laugh, cry, and feel a little less alone as they navigate their own lives that are filled with uncertainty, change, and things beyond their control.

To Be A Woman
$17.99We live in a cultural moment where the definition of “woman” eludes the keenest of thinkers and brightest of scientists, where one’s biological sex and one’s gender are divorced, where the meaning of gender itself is a constantly moving target, and where girls and women, especially, struggle to know who they are.

In these pages, Katie will help you understand:
*why, as a culture, we’ve arrived in such a place of gender confusion
*what the relationship is between biological sex and gender, and why this relationship is so crucial

*common myths and misunderstandings in the gender debate
*what Scripture and science have to say on the matter
*ways to respond in a Christlike way to loved ones struggling with gender identity

Words Of Wisdom Teen Devotional
$5.99Teen, Devotional
Additional Info
Which path are you on?Life is a journey, and sometimes we don’t choose the straightest path to travel it. We go the crooked, broken way when we try to do things apart from God’s Word and wisdom. Even though it was written thousands of years ago, the book of Proverbs offers us wise words, directing us on how to walk a God-honoring path through life. If our choices determine the path we are on, then let’s take the straight path and not the crooked one. The ancient wisdom of God’s Word will guide us and keep us on the path God desires for us.
In this 12-volume series of monthly devotionals, students will gain a more thorough understanding of key Old Testament and New Testament books of the Bible. Students will learn to Discover God’s Word, Delight in the Lord, and Display God’s work in their lives.
Discover (Identity + Theology): Who is God? Who am I in light of who God is? These are two of the most important questions students can grapple with because in discovering who God is, they learn who He has meant for them to be. Studies within the Discover category will help students align their lives under God’s rule which will give them confidence in who they were created to be.
Delight (Spiritual Disciplines): What does it mean to delight in God? What leads to delight in God? Helping students see God in every detail teaches them to delight in Him. When students find their delight in God, they will learn what it means and how to be in relationship with Him.
Display (Leadership, Mission, + Disciple Making): How do students display the glory of God? How do they help others grow in their relationship with Him? How can they lead others to display the truth of God? Through students learning to lead, live on mission, and make disciples, God’s glory is on display and His kingdom is expanded.
Each book includes 30 daily devotions, applicable Scripture, prayer prompts, and practical application.

Midlife Battle Cry
$18.99In a culture where so many people think of middle age as a downward slope into comfy sneakers and quiet, meaningless existence, we can redefine the second half of life, shaping it into decades of fulfillment, fun, strength, and purpose.
In our forties, fifties, and beyond, we’re wrestling with new questions. Is this it? Did I do what I wanted to do in my life? Who am I now that my kids have moved out? Will my sagging skin eventually hang all the way down to my feet? We feel a little like the world has nudged us aside for the younger crowd.
But God still has much in store for us.
God doesn’t bring us to the middle of our lives so we can park in front of the TV and binge-watch home makeover shows. There is no “midlife” to him! We are his gift to this world at every age and in every season, and it’s time to embrace it like never before. Right now, we are the best we’ve ever been. We know more, we’ve done more, we’ve lost and loved more. We’ve figured out that all tweezers are not created equal for chin hairs and, best of all, we’ve crossed into a space of feeling more ourselves than ever before. These are exhilarating and empowering years.
In Midlife Battle Cry, bestselling author Dawn Barton will inspire you to:
*realize that God isn’t done with you (honestly, he’s just getting started),
*view midlife as a pivot point, the start of a bold and powerful season,
*embrace who you are physically, spiritually, and emotionally,
*learn to share your experiences and wisdom with a younger generation, and
*accept that sometimes adding arch support to your cutest shoes is a really good idea.Blending lots of humor, honesty, stories, and insights, Dawn will walk you through redefining the mighty second half of life. It’s time to rediscover your passions, pursue your dreams–and know your actions can cause not just a ripple effect but a magnificent tidal wave.

Sacred Strides : The Journey To Belovedness In Work And Rest
$18.99In this fresh look at finding balance between work and sabbath rest, Justin McRoberts leads readers on their journey from false self to true self, discovering that growth and maturity take root in the knowledge of their belovedness in Christ.
In his two decades working as a full-time artist and spiritual guide, Justin McRoberts has experienced first-hand the tension between “The Hustle” and “Self Care.” In recent years, that conversation has turned to argument as people have suggested that one is more important than the other. But Justin disagrees entirely with such a one-sided approach.
Justin says, “My natural posture is not work, nor is my natural posture rest. My natural posture is belovedness, and both work and rest spring from my belovedness, and return me to it.” In this book, he uses humorous and poignant stories to help readers discover the deep truths about us being laborers for/with Christ, empowered by the Spirit, as well as worshipers of God the Father. Readers will learn how:
*Sabbath is a gift and a practice that frees us from the anxiety of proving ourselves
*They are loved and valued by God for who and whose they are–not for what they do
*Rest is not the absence of work; it is what gives work meaning
*We can love our world and the people in it through what we doWe are not tools in God’s tool belt, valued only for our gifts and talents. Nor are we ascetics called to abandon “daily life” to find God in the desert and just sit there. We are beloved by the One who holds all things together . . . including our need to work and our need to rest.

Art Of Overcoming
$18.99If you or someone you love is walking through a season of loss, disappointment, pain, or other difficulties, The Art of Overcoming will teach you how to grieve what has died within you and celebrate the new life set before you by the God who brings good from evil, light from dark, and life from death.
Pastor Tim Timberlake uses the imagery of a traditional funeral ceremony as a framework to look at the death experiences we face regularly in this crazy journey called life. These experiences include all the grief, disappointment, tragedy, loss, pain, suffering, abuse, or sorrow that comes our way.
Death is not the end, although it often feels like it is in the moment. Instead, it is a season to reflect, to honor, and to grow. It is the end of one chapter but the beginning of a new one. The new doesn’t diminish the old and looking toward the future doesn’t mean we forget the past. Instead, we must learn to hold loss and hope at the same time.
The chapters are divided into four sections that represent specific stages of dealing with our death experiences.
*Living with Death explores five foundational perspectives about grief and loss
*The Processional encourages us to face head-on the reality of our experiences
*The Eulogy helps us memorialize and honor what has been lost and how to process grief in a healthy way
*The Recessional is about closure as we discover life after death and move forward
No matter what you’ve gone through or are in the middle of right now, better days are ahead. But don’t hurry to get there. Instead, let Jesus heal your heart in His timing, take time to grieve what needs to be grieved, and then celebrate the new life God lays out before you.

Agents Of Grace
$18.99Political division. Racial tension. Vaccine wars. In Agents of Grace, award-winning writer, journalist, and podcast host Daniel Darling equips us to discern what’s worth fighting for, how to move beyond our profound disagreements, and how to live as agents of Jesus’s love.
When Daniel Darling was fired as spokesperson for the National Religious Broadcasters Association, it wasn’t his exit that made national news–it was the way he handled it. Daniel’s charitable response to those he had worked with was so radical that it made headlines. But why has kindness among Christians become so startling?
In Agents of Grace, Daniel explores practical ways we can follow the Bible’s command to “strive actively for peace” even in a painfully divided church, country, and world. On a very personal level, he helps us climb out of cynicism about how the people of God treat each other, especially when we are trying to heal from such pain in our own lives.
Beautifully written, Agents of Grace draws on modern-day examples and biblical truths to address:
*Divisions that keep us from obeying Jesus’s command to love one another
*Virtues that will lead us to a peace-filled life
*The theological differences that are worth fighting for, and those that are not
*How to avoid apathy and heal from past hurt, even amid hypocrisy and corruption
*The difference between forgiveness, reconciliation, and trustIn this hope-filled book, Daniel issues a clarion call to live as bridgebuilders in a divided country, healers in a hurting church, and countercultural Jesus-followers in a world that needs to know God’s love.

James : Tired Tested Torn And Full Of Faith
$19.99In this five-week study, we will walk verse by verse through the book of James to compare the teaching of James with the teaching Jesus did in the Sermon on the Mount from Matthew 5-7 and the instruction of Solomon that we find in Proverbs.

As we dig into the Word of God, readers will be encouraged to reclaim their faith every step of the way. Micah will give action steps to take each day to move from the place of pain, challenge, or passive living to a faith-filled life.

Traveling Light : Releasing The Burdens You Were Never Intended To Bear
$25.99We’re all weighed down by loads we were never intended to carry. With New York Times bestselling author and pastor Max Lucado as your guide, Traveling Light invites you to release some of those heavy burdens and experience true rest.
We’ve all seen weary travelers–everything they own crammed into their luggage, staggering through terminals and hotel lobbies with overstuffed suitcases, trunks, duffels, and backpacks. Backs ache. Feet burn. Eyelids droop. We can all be people like that–if not with our physical luggage, then at least with our spiritual load of guilt, discontentment, doubt, or loneliness.
Centered around the comforting, uplifting words of Psalm 23, Traveling Light will give you the encouragement and the tools you need to release the burdens of:
*Self-reliance
*Arrogance
*Hopelessness
*Disappointment
*ShameThere are certain weights in life that we simply aren’t designed to carry, and Max reminds us that the Lord is asking you to set them down and trust him. He is the father at the baggage claim. When a dad sees his five-year-old son trying to drag the family trunk off the carousel, what does he say? The father will say to his son what God is saying to you.
“Set it down, child. I’ll carry that one.”
What if we took God up on his offer? We just might find ourselves traveling a little lighter.

Collecting Confidence : Start Where You Are To Become The Person You Were M
$28.99Showcasing the confidence she’s gathered from her own life journey, Kim Gravel–beloved QVC star and creator of Belle by Kim Gravel and Belle Beauty–invites you to look at yourself with a fresh new lens, encouraging you to start where you are and become the person you were meant to be.
Bold. Audacious. Warm. Funny. Real. These are just a few words that describe Kim Gravel, entrepreneur, podcaster, TV personality, and host of several number-one hit shows on QVC. The minute she says, Hey, ya’ll, you can feel her authentic personality shining through–but she felt pressure to conform for a stretch of her life. She hid her light and lost her shine. In the aftermath of the pressures of the pageant scene and a toxic failed marriage, Kim found herself alone in a run-down apartment, and it was there that she started to grow closer to God. In the quiet of her tiny Pepto Bismol-pink apartment, she could hear the still, small voice of God–and she listened. And as she listened, her life started to change and she began to discover her purpose, including her first gig as a talk-show host at a community TV station just a few blocks from her apartment. Her purpose was just steps away!
As Kim says, Struggling doesn’t have to be your badge of honor. No one wants an ill-fitting life. You want to live a custom-made life designed to fit you perfectly….You are beautiful, loved, strong, smart, one of a kind, unique, created for a purpose, protected, empowered, cared for, and important. If your life is not getting bigger, it’s time to change it. Reimagine your life. It’s time to start co-creating your life with the Creator. It doesn’t matter what age you are. You’re never too old to think differently. The best life is ahead of you, not behind you.
Now Kim’s mission as a global voice is to build up women with words of encouragement, reminding them to trust God, stop struggling, embrace the beauty of who they are and step into their power and purpose. Collecting Confidence will allow readers to:
*accept the beauty of who they are,
*glean empowerment from life’s lowest moments,

She Speaks Fire
$29.99Leader of the popular women’s ministry She Speaks Fire, Mariela Rosario shares her story of abandonment and drug use to emphasize her powerful message of overcoming shame so that readers can embrace their purpose and live boldly in the love of Jesus.
In She Speaks Fire, spoken word poet Mariela Rosario vulnerably shares her testimony of being abandoned as a child, which led to intense people pleasing and subsequent drug use. Then, alone in her house in 2015, she experienced a miraculous encounter with God that prompted her to turn away from those damaging patterns and begin attending church. As her relationship with Jesus deepened, she launched a full-time ministry, She Speaks Fire, which helps other women face their past failures and overcome feelings of shame so that they, too, can live fully and unapologetically for God and walk in their God-given purpose.
Unpacking the biblical story of the garden of Eden in Genesis, Rosario reveals the seven areas where shame did not exist in the garden, which are the exact areas where believers are spiritually attacked today:
*Communion with God
*Identity in God
*Community with others
*Purpose or work
*Dependence on God
*Affirmation in or by God
*Boundaries from GodBy identifying the origins of their own shame–and the ways shame blocks them from living an authentic life–readers will then be able to embrace the four steps to overcoming unhealthy shame patterns. When they begin to own their story, they will be able to give God glory and encourage others who are seeking freedom in him. Then they can embrace being bold for Christ and spread his love far and wide.

God Knows : When Your Worries And Whys Need More Than Temporary Relief
$18.99If we really believed that God knowing was enough–and left it there–our questions, worries, and angst over life’s struggles would find more than temporary relief.
Many of us wake up every day with looming anxieties over our future and a weariness we can’t shake. We have more questions than answers and live with difficult daily realities and secrets we feel we cannot share. The question remains for most believers: How can I fix it, make sense of it, or solve it?
Enter God Knows: a guidebook to lead the modern believer to a place of release, relief, and reliance upon the omniscience of God. Inspired by the seldom-studied book of Nahum, God Knows details the behind-the-scenes picture we are missing, what His great knowing entails, and how his omniscience provides daily perspective to bring the healing and peace we are all desperate to find.
In God Knows, you will:
*experience freedom by learning the difference between privacy and secrecy,
*develop renewed belief in your abandoned dreams and goals, still known by God,
*realign your idea of God’s omniscience being far away to how it daily affects you,
*release your fears for the future as you develop a different outlook on tomorrow through God’s lens, and
*learn how to deal with injustice in light of God’s knowledge of it.
God is doing his job well: the justice, the plan, the working together for our good even when we can’t see or understand. The problem is not God. Learn to release what has been burdening you and watch His plan for your life unfold.

Compounding this is the failure of most churches to grow their followers’ faith beyond a Sunday school understanding. As a result, the most important historical fact of the Christian faith is often the most misunderstood, relegated to Easter and funeral pep talks: the resurrection. And it’s creating a powerless Christianity.
Dr. Jeremiah Johnston, an acclaimed apologist and scholar, sets out to prove why Christ’s victory over death is central to a believer’s faith. Straightforward, accessible, and practical, this book examines the latest archaeological and textual findings and presents seven tangible, fresh proofs that Jesus really rose from the dead–and why it matters today. When you fully understand the implications of the resurrection, you will begin to understand the power of Christ in you. And it changes everything.

Starved : Why We Need A Spiritual Diet Change To Move Us From Tired Anxious
$16.99We’re consuming, we’re filling up, we’re taking in, but at the end of the day, our souls are still starving.
So many of us feel dissatisfied and empty emotionally, physically, and even spiritually. Our lives are rushed, overflowing, and we’re low on joy, fulfillment, peace, and purpose. In our spare moments, we turn to our phones, social media, and a million other little things, desperate for relief, but over time, these distractions become an unhealthy diet for our souls uplifting us for a moment but ultimately denying us the nourishment we need. When we overconsume these imposters that promise a temporary boost but actually leave us weak and weary, we become anxious, fearful, and depleted. These addicting substitutes keep us coming back for more, never providing satisfaction.
But there is hope. We don’t have to stay stuck and malnourished. We can become free of shame, disappointment, and anxiety.
In Starved, popular author and teacher Amy Seiffert shows readers how to stop ingesting spiritual junk food and offers simple and replenishing practices like silence, service, and Sabbath that can bring us closer to Jesus. She encourages us to put down our phones, set aside our pride, and let go of the hustle so that we can receive a spiritual diet change that will leave us delightfully content, spiritually healthy, and free to experience the goodness of Jesus.

Dangerous Jesus : Why The Only Thing More Risky Than Getting Jesus Right Is
$24.99No one was more dangerous than the Lord Jesus.
From the moment He arrived on the scene, Jesus posed a threat to the unjust, a threat to the oppressors, and a threat to every semblance of authority wielded by the kingdom of darkness. He invaded the world with love for the forgotten, hope for the hopeless, and freedom for the bound. His ideas were disruptive, subversive, and scandalous to the world around Him.
Jesus was so dangerous, the powers that be killed Him.
Today, our generation is seeing a surge of people walking away from the Christian faith. But what’s repelling people isn’t Jesus; it’s that what is often propagated as mainstream Christianity is simply not worthy of His name.
Jesus is the most admired figure in history. He is also the most ignored, weaponized, reinterpreted, and misappropriated figure in history. The question is . . . who do you think He is?
In Dangerous Jesus, Kevin “KB” Burgess award-winning rapper, podcaster, and international speaker reintroduces us to the true Jesus, the one who poses a living threat to the status quo. He’s a threat to our division. He’s a threat to our rebellion. He is the kind of dangerous that is so infused with power from on high that nothing stays the same when He walks into the room. His love is so strong, it’s intoxicating. His truth is so good, it sets people free.
We need to reconnect with this Jesus.
We need to become a threat to the threats.
We need to be dangerous.If you’re ready to meet the real Jesus . . . If you’re ready to join in the fight . . . If you want to make the church a genuine threat to evil once again . . . join KB in Dangerous Jesus and encounter the enemy-loving, world-changing, good-dangerous Savior.

Surrender Your Story
$27.99Popular podcaster and self-proclaimed control freak Tara Sun shows how having everything under control is overrated–not to mention downright dangerous–and reveals the surprising, lifegiving alternative: only radical surrender to God brings the peace and fulfillment we yearn for.
Today’s culture is peddling a seductive promise, a message that bombards social media feeds and dominates bestseller lists: you can control your circumstances and achieve any goal through positive thinking, organization, and sheer force of will. But anyone who’s tried to white-knuckle their way to self-fulfillment has discovered what lies on the other side of this supposedly empowering message: frustration, disappointment, and exhaustion.
Tara knows what it’s like to be obsessed with control–all under the guise of the supposed virtues of being self-sufficient, organized, and high achieving. When a battle with severe chronic illness demolished her illusions of control, Tara embarked on a journey of discovering the antidote to the burdensome and ultimately empty myth of control: surrender to the God who cares for us and has an infinitely better blueprint for a life filled with joy, peace, and meaning. Readers will:
*identify how the false promises of control and self-sufficiency have warped their view of themselves, their hopes, and their purpose;
*learn to trust God–in the big events and the small details of their lives;
*discover practical steps and strategies for letting go of control and moving forward in faith, even in the face of setbacks and disappointments; and
*be inspired by examples from Tara’s life and from the Bible of the strength and purpose that comes through a lifestyle of surrender.
For all those who are exhausted from trying to control their lives and disappointed by their unreached plans, Surrender Your Story is a welcome lifeline that opens readers’ eyes to the beauty of a life surrendered to the Master Planner.

After posting selfies in her Sunday best for fifty-two consecutive weeks during the pandemic, octogenarian Dr. La Verne Ford Wimberly became a viral sensation during Easter 2021, appearing everywhere from the Washington Post to CNN to Fox News.
People from all over the world have said my Sunday selfies and words of encouragement have blessed and inspired them. Who would have thought photos of an eighty-two-year-old church lady in a hat and Bible verses could do such a thing?
On March 29, 2020, when her church switched to online services because of coronavirus, Dr. La Verne Ford Wimberly couldn’t imagine watching the service in her robe. So, she did what she’s always done; she put on a beautiful outfit, matching hat, and accessories and got ready for church. Dr. Wimberly, a self-declared social media junkie, thought it would be fun to snap a selfie and post it on Facebook with a scripture verse and an inspirational message.
I’d let folks know I was ready for worship and encourage them to do the same. This was my way to brighten their spirits–and mine–and stay connected during a time of sudden isolation and despair for many people.Underneath her crown and church finery is a wise, warm, and witty octogenarian who’s still committed to the same values she learned in childhood:
*faith in God and country,
*devotion to family,
*keeping a positive attitude,
*a life of service,
*thinking before you act,
*living life to the fullest, and
*the golden rule.As a career educator who faithfully and lovingly served students, their families, and her community for decades, encouraging and uplifting others is part of Dr. Wimberly’s DNA. In My Sunday Best, you’ll be cheered by the stories and lessons from a life well-lived and find yourself asking, How can I inspire someone today and encourage myself too?

Dont Hold Back
$25.00The New York Times bestselling author of Radical challenges Christians to break free from an American gospel that prostitutes Jesus for comfort, power, prosperity, and politics–and fully pursue the true gospel that exalts Jesus above all.
Pastor David Platt believes we’ve gotten really good at following a really bad gospel–one that worships American ideas over biblical truth. It’s time for disillusioned, discouraged, and divided Christians, and the next generation, to follow Jesus into a different future.
But we have to make a choice: an American gospel or the biblical gospel. Worldly division or otherworldly unity. Compromise with the idols of our country or commitment to God’s call in our lives. In Don’t Hold Back, Platt encourages followers of Jesus to take necessary risks and find unimaginable reward as we:
– Work for–not against–each other, especially when we disagree
– Turn the tide on centuries of racial division in the church
– Trust all of God’s Word with conviction while loving everyone around us with compassion
– Do justice with kindness, and experience the good life according to God
– Play our part in spreading the gospel to all the nations of the worldWe can experience the full wonder of Jesus and transcendent beauty of his church here and now. But in order to do so, some things need to be different. Starting not in “those people,” but in each one of us. With the gospel in our hearts and God as our prize, let’s press on and don’t hold back.

Made To Belong
$19.99Author and pastor David Kim shares his experiences with loneliness as a Korean American immigrant and delivers compelling research about belonging that includes the revolutionary five anchors for developing meaningful relationships.
Even though we are connected more than ever–through social media, video calls and texts, and advanced travel opportunities–we’re also drowning in loneliness and isolation. As discipleship pastor of WestGate Church in Silicon Valley, David Kim decided to research the reasons why–and uncovered surprising answers.
When Kim moved to America from South Korea as a child, he experienced isolation during his school years. Differences in language, food, and culture spiked an immense desire for an accepting, supportive community. As an adult, he read widely about belonging, and in his survey of more than 1,300 Christians, he discovered that the number-one struggle shared by them is loneliness. Left to ourselves, Kim says, we naturally drift away from God and others, and we begin to believe the lies of the enemy:
*You are all alone. No one else feels this way.
*No one cares about you. How could they?
*God has abandoned you. You were just imagining things before.In Made to Belong, Kim combats those lies with the incredible hope found in the revolutionary Five Practices for Meaningful Connection:
*Priority: People first, no regrets.
*Chemistry: What, you too?
*Vulnerability: Dangerously safe.
*Empathy: I hear and see you.
*Accountability: I can’t carry it, but I can carry you.True belonging takes intentional effort, but Kim reminds us that we are made to belong–to each other and to Jesus. Through sound wisdom from the Bible, proven research from the social sciences and his own data, and examples from his pastoral ministry and moving personal anecdotes, Kim shows us that we are uniquely designed by God to belong to one another for our flourishing.

Mixed : Embracing Complexity By Uncovering Your God-led Identity
$18.99Many of us feel like we don’t belong or are out of touch with our true identity. Discover how you can gain a stronger sense of who God made you to be and step confidently into every relationship, fully owning your unique distinctions and celebrating the differences of others.
Group dynamics can be based on the simplest forms of physical and cultural distinctions, and those who don’t quite fit the mold of a group can feel like outsiders. The reality is none of us fit into a box. We’re all unique with a mixed background–socially, culturally, experientially. For some of us, like Eli Bonilla Jr., we are also mixed ethnically. No one person is an identical copy of anyone else.
In Mixed, Eli questions the basis of unity and inclusion and explores the multiple components of our identity, discovering how they can all be reconciled for God’s purpose as we reflect His image. Mixed will lead you to:
*find peace with the complexity within yourself,
*understand yourself more deeply so you can relate to others,
*experience more human connection through a God-led identity, and
*develop greater empathy, celebrate cultures without creating division, and fight for people in the margins.Eli will remind you that God made you the way you are for good reason, and you belong wherever He says you belong. Pairing personal stories with biblical teaching, Eli will inspire you not to hold back from others but to confidently share the fullness of who you are, and to love, celebrate, and unite with people who are not just different, but beautifully complex.
