How to Find Your Self Worth
This is going to sound totally cliché, but I had a real “God moment” at Chick Fil A a couple of weeks ago. While I waited for my food, I noticed an older woman sitting in a wheel chair. My heart just melted. For some reason she reminded me of my grandma, who passed away last year. The woman and I introduced ourselves and discussed flowers. As I was leaving the restaurant, she said something that caught me off guard: It’s nice to know you. How many people do we meet everyday, yet we don’t even really know or see their worth? At that moment, when I looked into the…

Between the two youth groups at Winter Camp there were over 200 students worshiping Jesus, giving their lives to God, and having a blast! On the third night, we worshiped for four hours and lives were changed. There…

Worthy or Not?
Sinner. Bad. Weak. Ugly. Stupid. Dirty. Either we have had these words hurled at us by others, or we have given at least one of them to ourselves. If you are anything like me, then you are one of the many Christians who battle low self-esteem or self hatred. However, this isn’t working. As Christians we are told to love God with all of our heart, soul, mind, and strength–and to love our neighbor as ourselves (Luke 10:27). How can we love others the way Christ does if we can’t even like ourselves? So many issues that people, especially teens, face today reflect our failure to see ourselves the way God…
