Begin Being

Your entire Christian life has been built around serving Christ in some capacity. And yet, you feel something is missing. That closeness you so desire with Him just isn't there. But why? It's your misplaced identity. We as Christians tend to base our identity on what we do for Christ rather than on who we are in Christ. This is where speaker and author Jamie Hicks found herself after thirty-five years of serving the Lord faithfully. Up until that time, she had thought that the ministry was enough to satisfy, till it was suddenly taken away. This quickly placed her in a cycle of determining who she was. To "e;find"e; herself, Jamie told a Christian counselor all that she had done for the Lord. With godly wisdom, the counselor made the following statement: "e;Jamie, the Christian life is not about doing but about being."e; This truth changed Jamie's perspective on Christianity. In her book "e;Begin Being: Discover Intimacy with God,"e; Jamie takes you on a journey of how she came to know God in a way she had never known Him before. She realized that her true identity was found in a Person, not in a service. Yet, on this journey, she ironically discovered that the more she learned "e;to be,"e; the more she loved "e;to do."e;Follow Jamie's personal journey of learning "e;to be."e; Before Being Being Produces Rest Being Produces Worship Being Produces Impact Being Produces Fruit Being Is Just the Beginning
