Redefining Normal :: In Depth


the Heartbeat of Redefining Normal

For many of us, normal Christianity is comfortable and secure, isolated, and based on allthe evils we don’t do. But what if our norm isn’t normal to God? What if God isn’t satisfied for us to settle for normal in our lives?

Our world needs Christians to be more than disciplined, more than moral, and more than honest - our world needs Christians to be blessings.

If you have the courage to redefine normal, or if you want to have the courage, come on this journey with us. We don’t claim to have all the answers, because we are on this journey as well. But from just a few steps ahead, we can tell you it is the adventure of a lifetime.
