The journey from brokenness to wholeness, from our Self@Worst to our Self@Best, is multifaceted, involving both our relationship with God and with others. It is in the fertile ground of loving, truthful, and corrective relationships that our true identity in Christ is nurtured and comes to flourish. As we continue to engage deeply with God through his Word, in worship, and through the guiding presence of the Holy Spirit, alongside cultivating healthy relationships with mentors, peers, and counselors, we find ourselves ever more deeply rooted in the love, grace, and truth of Jesus Christ. This is the path to becoming our Thriving Self, whose identity is grounded in the unshakeable love of God.
