Bible Reading Plan

God has given us a compass, the Holy Spirit, who lives inside of us to give us guidance and direction every day of our lives.

God speaks to us in various ways to affirm our identity as His beloved children. By learning to listen to His voice, we can counter the negative labels and lies of the world, embracing our true worth and purpose in Christ.
