📌 Read Today's Passages (March 4, 2022)

The dictionary defines authority as (1) the power or right to give orders, make decisions, and enforce obedience and (2) a person or organization having power or control in a particular (typically political or administrative) sphere.

Christina was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, and grew up in a Hindu household.  She accepted Jesus as a teenager after being introduced to Christianity by her mother, who became saved herself just a few years before passing away from cancer. After walking away from her faith for years, Christina recommitted her life to Christ as an adult and is now passionate about the Lord and serving others. She believes sharing her experiences will encourage readers to stretch past the superficial trappings of life, and embrace the sovereignty of God’s purpose in their lives.
