About Rooted in Christ: Identity that Transforms Relationships
Who we believe we are shapes how we love, lead, and live with others. In this Christ-centered session, I’ll unpack the vital connection between our identity in Christ and the health of our daily relationships. When we don’t know who we are in Him, insecurity, fear, and comparison creep in—affecting how we parent, partner, and build community. However when our lives are rooted in Jesus, we can walk in confidence, extend grace, and cultivate relationships that reflect God’s heart. Through biblical truth, real-life stories, and practical takeaways, you’ll discover how to strengthen both your identity and your connections with others.
