The greatest identity crisis in history wasn’t about losing an identity. It happened when Jesus redefined what it means to belong to the people of God.

Wherever the gospel takes root, the ground begins to shake, revealing what resists God, what distorts him, and what opens to his transforming grace.

Today the Spirit of God tears down barriers and expands the church’s vision.
