Made for More
Dear Friends:
As we approach the 37th annual Freedom Conference, I am filled with great expectancy of what God is going to do in and through each one of us. Year after year, in our weakness and humility, Jesus shows up mightily in both our personal and corporate time. Who among us doesn’t leave changed?
Our theme this year is Made for More. I think most people would admit that at some point in time in their lives they have wondered if there is anything more to the life they are experiencing. For many, something seems to be missing. Often there is a deep void in our hearts that goes unfilled and unsatisfied.
During the early days of trying to figure out my struggle with SSA I remember thinking that what I truly needed was the love and affirmation of a man to fill that need. I was consumed by a need to heal the ache inside because the ache was all I paid attention to. The focus and direction of my desires was also in direct conflict with my biblical beliefs. But what I perceived as my deepest and most overwhelming need suppressed those feelings of conflict and I chose to act on my SSA.
