Most of us are trying to build an identity — assembling it out of labels, achievements, and the verdicts other people hand us. Guest preacher Nicole Unice suggests we have the direction backwards: a secure identity isn't something we construct, it's something we receive. Working through Psalm 139 and a story about a master potter's apprentice who throws the same small cup 300 times before he's allowed to move on, she makes the case that acceptance is a practice, not an achievement — and that being good at following Jesus was never the point. Part of our series Rhythms, where we're asking what spiritual rhythm Jesus might have for this particular season of our lives. Join us Sunday evenings on the Peninsula.
