Are You Okay Being You?

ASCENSION
About this episode

In today's society it can be so tempting to compare ourselves with others and to feel insecure. Jeff offers us various Scripture verses that help us find our confidence in the Lord, and reminds us that the only person we need to compare ourselves with is Jesus Christ.

Snippet from the Show

Conversion is not about being a better version of yourself, it’s about becoming like Jesus Christ.
