Today on BOLD STEPS, Pastor Mark Jobe concludes a powerful message on healing from father wounds, and finding your true identity, in God’s eyes. We’re wrapping up our three-part message called The Daughter Factor, where we’ve been exploring how our relationship with our earthly father shapes how we see our Heavenly Father.  Even though Mark first shared this at a women’s retreat, these truths really apply to anyone who’s struggled with father wounds or rejection.  Today, we’ll discover how to break free from those harmful patterns and start seeing ourselves the way God sees us.

Regicide is the official word used for the execution of a king. Most countries reserve the stiffest of punishments for subjects or assassins who would kill their royalty. John records the execution of the King of kings on a Roman cross outside the city of Jerusalem. But the rest of Scripture reveals that it was more than an execution; it was sacrifice that brought salvation. The next few weeks, we will consider the cross in depth and what it means for the world and for us.

Pastor Skip challenges you to live each day like Jesus and watch what a difference it makes in your life.

Lee Strobel was a hard-nosed journalist and proud atheist living for pleasure—until his wife’s sudden conversion sent him on a mission to disprove Christianity once and for all. But the deeper he dug into the historical record—the eyewitnesses, the empty tomb, the early creeds—the more the evidence pointed not to myth, but to fact. In this episode, Strobel shares what shook his skepticism and how his newest book uncovers chilling accounts of angel sightings and Muslim conversions through supernatural visions—reminding us that God is constantly moving, and the unseen realm is more active than we think.

Do you see yourself the way God sees you?  We’re unpacking this important question this Mother’s Day, especially for daughters, here on today’s BOLD STEPS with Pastor Mark Jobe. Last time, he began exploring how our relationship with our earthly father profoundly shapes our understanding of our Heavenly Father.  For many listening today, this subject touches some very tender places in the heart.  Whether you experienced abandonment, neglect, or even abuse from your father figure … or perhaps never knew your father at all … these wounds can create significant barriers in fully experiencing God’s love.  In today’s message, Mark addresses these “father wounds” by showing how healing in this area is essential for embracing who God has called you to be and loving others as He’s called you to love.
