What defines you? Is it your achievements, relationships, failures—or something deeper? In this powerful opening session, Lorie Hartshorn shares personal stories of heartbreak, insecurity, and awakening to a deeper truth: identity shapes everything. From the panic of losing her young son in a store to the pain of feeling she didn’t measure up, Lorie opens up about her own identity crisis and how it led her to look into the only mirror that tells the truth—Jesus. You’ll explore the foundational truth that your identity is not something you earn, but something you’ve been given—by the God who made you in His image. This is where the journey begins: discovering why identity matters and how to find yours in Christ.

►We Were Made in God’s Image
Our true identity begins with understanding we were created by God to reflect His character and love.
