How Surrender Leads to New Identity in Christ

About this episode

This episode explores how surrendering to God leads to a new identity in Christ, particularly for youth navigating their life goals.

Youth Quake exists to create life-changing experiences for youth and youth influencers by sharing the power of the Gospel through retreats, teaching, worship, and intentional community. Our heart is for the church and its impact on the lives of teenagers. Many of us grow up with dreams of what we want to be in the future – doctor, teacher, lawyer, professional pizza taster, etc. But when future career dreams or other life goals don’t quite turn out as expected, what do we do? In a culture where what we do is synonymous with who we are , how do we discover who God actually calls us to be? In this seminar, we’ll explore how building our lives on Jesus and embracing the identity of “disciple” helps us live life to the fullest, especially when that includes change in our plans.
