In this podcast, Donna VanLiere, Bonnie Keen and Rebecca St. James discuss what it means to live as Christians in a culture that often promotes the message that we are enough on our own. Christianity, however, teaches that we are not enough apart from God—which is why Christ came and died for us. Through His sacrifice, He makes us worthy, reveals our true beauty, and shows us the depth of His love. In Him, we discover our value, identity, and the assurance that we are deeply loved.

In this episode, Looking for God: The Search for Something More explores the pressures and ideologies within Western culture that push people to constantly achieve and prove themselves in order to gain acceptance from others--and even from God. Donna VanLiere and Carman LaBerge discuss how we are created in God's image and loved apart from our striving or accomplishments. God accepts us not because of what we do, but beause of who He is and how He created us. While work and purpose are valuable parts of life, even more important is becoming who God made us to be.

Mike shares the power addiction can hold over a person, but even more importantly, the power of Jesus and the Holy Spirit working in and through us. He explains that while we have a responsibility to renew our minds, Jesus transforms our hearts. Coupe also emphasizes that the opposite of addiction is help and community. We cannot break addiction in our own strength, but only through the power of Jesus Christ.
