There's a Big Difference Between Image and Identity
We are bombarded with IMAGE Conscious media with every turn. No wonder its increasingly difficult to look beyond the surface and love what's on the inside. Your Identity is directly reflective of what you choose to surrender your life to. The more you surrender to that job, person, substance, etc., the stronger your identity is tied to it. This is not a good or bad judgment. It is just a fact. Often identity can also be formed from the outside. Yet a strong identity is formed from the inside out.
True Identity comes from the inside out and not from the outside in. Image is mostly concerned with the outside appearance towards others. Identity is the inner strength to endure. It is the infrastructure that supports the building and growing of our lives. We all have seasons in our lives where we don't feel like growing. But we all have the same opportunity and time each day to grow. Grow forward with us at The Power of Next. Let Mike Bearden and his team listen with you and help you take your Next Step towards a strong Identity Development.
The BOOK That Started it ALL!
It has always been my hope and prayer that I would be able to come alongside others during their different seasons of life when they might just need someone to listen and maybe even get them unstuck. I consider it the highest privilege for which I was born. It's how I am wired whether I like it or not. In fact, it's my passion. When I am unable to come alongside others, my life becomes less than satisfactory. I have learned much over the years of listening to others. And together we grow. I hope that Mike Bearden and this book The Power of Next can breathe a bit of new life inspiration and challenge into your heartbeat during your life season. I will make time for you.
