🙏 Kate Bacon's Testimony

Kate Bacon, who grew up in the church and graduated from Dunwoody High School in 2022, shared her personal testimony about finding her identity in Jesus Christ while navigating the challenges of the United States Military Academy at West Point. Although she understood the gospel from a young age and committed her life to Christ at seven, she admitted that throughout middle and high school, she was driving her own life, only turning to God when things were difficult. Her rigorous experience at West Point—which challenged her with deep-seated fears like a fear of heights and required her to endure intense stress, lack of sleep, and hard leadership decisions—ultimately brought her to her knees, demonstrating that she could do nothing in her own strength. Kate's journey taught her the critical lesson that true identity is found not in worldly accomplishments, performance (grades, sports, etc.), or future plans, but solely as a child of God, and that trusting in His different, yet infinitely better, plan brings profound peace and joy.
