In this special episode of the Thinking Out Loud Radio Show, we tackle this age-old question of "What Does A Christian Look Like" with Christian fashion designer TerryAnn Phillips. TerryAnn is the creator of "Saved And Fabulous" Fashion Line that is specifically designed with Christians in mind. But, is there really such a thing as "church clothes" or "Christian Fashion" or have we evolved to the point as a church where we can come as we are? TerryAnn discusses the style choices that she's made for her "Saved & Fabulous" fashion line and how they have been influenced by the church.

We are switching things up a bit in this week's show, and sharing with you a powerful, inspiring and uplifting message we delivered over the weekend entitled "But They." The theme is taken from a very familiar passage of scripture in Isaiah 40:28-30, where it reads" Hast thou not known, hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth fainteth not neither is he weary. He giveth power to the faint and to them that hath no might he increaseth strength. Even the youth shall faint and be weary and the young men shall utterly fall, but they..." This message is designed to inspire and uplift the believer and to increase their faith in God. It was our desire to change the mental trajectory of our thinking through this message, and raise the believer's expectations to a place where they believe and know that with God nothing shall be impossible. 

We hope and pray this message blesses you. Share it on your social media timelines, share with your family and friends, co-workers and the like.
