This Is The Life: Why God made you for something bigger

God never meant for life to feel small, anxious, or half-hearted.

In this video, you’ll learn what it means to live “openly and expansively”—and why honesty, vulnerability, and deep connection are key to building a strong faith.

If you’re tired of living small, this conversation will help you break free and begin living the wide-open life you were made for.

Scriptures:

Dear, dear Corinthians, I can’t tell you how much I long for you to enter this wide-open, spacious life. We didn’t fence you in. The smallness you feel comes from within you. Your lives aren’t small, but you’re living them in a small way. I’m speaking as plainly as I can and with great affection. Open up your lives. Live openly and expansively!

1 Corinthians 6:11 MSG  

Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him; do not fret when people succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes.

Psalm 37:7 NIV

This is the life we have seen and heard. We are reporting about it to you also so that you, too, can have a relationship with us. Our relationship is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ. [4] We are writing this so that we can be completely filled with joy. [5] This is the message we heard from Christ and are reporting to you: God is light, and there isn’t any darkness in him.

1 John 1:3-5 GW

Your pleasant path leads me to pleasant places. I’m overwhelmed by the privileges that come with following you!

Psalm 16:6 TPT

No training seems pleasant at the time. In fact, it seems painful. But later on it produces a harvest of godliness and peace. It does this for those who have been trained by it.

Hebrews 12:11 NIrV

Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, [20] and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

Matthew 28:19-20 NIV
