Do You Have a Story?

September 30, 2026

2 Corinthians 5:17 declares that anyone in Christ is a new creation: the old is gone and the new is here. Being raised in church, believing God exists, or calling yourself spiritual isn't the same as being transformed, and a real faith story has a clear before and after. The invitation is to know your own turning point and to look for that same evidence of new life in the person you date.
