Episode 153 - Ownership

You are not your own. This is a reality that must be reconciled with those who say they are children of God. I believe it’s the struggle of that reality that causes the most struggle for believers. This episode I talk about what it means to be God’s own and how God’s ownership fuels the very purpose of our existence on this earth. As I weighed my own purpose these past weeks, I came to a couple of truths that I think could serve you well…so enjoy.
