Be Who You Are

About this episode

In today’s First15, we’re going to look at the opportunity God gives us every day, to simply be who we are. His pursuit of our hearts frees us as we experience his unconditional, all-encompassing love. So as we open our hearts to his loving pursuit today, I pray that God would do a mighty work of freedom in our hearts.
