Live Your BEST Life
It's a common encouragement to "live your best life" as you evaluate the decisions and rhythms of your life. But how do we live our best life when it comes to following Jesus? God has created you uniquely with a specific call to love Him and love His creation - other human beings. Within that call, he has carefully crafted your with specific gifts to fulfill that call.
Living your best life is living within the calling that God has for you.
And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them. - Romans 8:28
Discovering what your "best life" is what living each day is all about. As God speaks to us through His living Word, we discover more of what our "best life" is - a life in alignment with God and His purpose. Through the Biblical narrative, He reveals His character and desire for us to be in relationship with Him.
Our best life is a life lived for God. As we radiate his love, His light shines through us, producing a reflective light of God's love on others. As we live out our best life, we display the mighty works of a God who loves us and cares for us so deeply.
On Purpose
How do we live this best life? By being intentional in our daily rhythms and habits - living in alignment with the truths throughout God's Word. We want to equip you and empower you in conjunction with your engagement with His Word, worship, prayer, and other spiritual disciplines.
You are anointed, you are gifted, and you are a child of God! We're not just trying to make you feel good - it's written in the book of life!
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. - Psalm 139:14
Connect, Read, Pray
Connect
What's your first step? Connect with other Christians in community - find a church in your area, join a small group, or share with a friend who knows Jesus. Your journey in living your best life, on purpose, is important to do in a community who is encouraging you and supporting you in your goals.
Read the Bible
Read the Bible! It's a pretty simple request, but can be difficult to know where to begin. Check out a few of our favorite resources for reading the Bible. Engaging in scripture is the best way to hear from God - it is His Word! It is living and active and will always point you towards truth.
Pray
Simply talk to God. Praying can seem complicated or intimidating because you are talking to the creator of the universe, but crazily enough, it's not! It's a simple conversation with your Father who loves you and wants a relationship with you. Open up with your thoughts, thank him for good things in your life, and ask Him to show you His Way. He'll be faithful to speak to you in ways that are special to your relationship.
