Whole Heart Identity
March 24 | 12 pm EST | $7.95 for affiliates
In this webinar, you will explore how God actually sees us individually and the depths of His love for us and how He wants us to see ourselves as we surrender our whole hearts to Him.
Participants will learn how to relay to their clients: clearer understanding of what God's love for them really means, understanding the importance of having a relationship with God, understanding why they are here on this earth and the importance of knowing their identity, and how precious all life is and why we should not take it upon ourselves to decide when it should end.
