Many of us are exhausted from trying to prove our value. We push harder, seek approval, and wonder if we will ever measure up. But what if the thing you are trying to earn is something you already have?

In this message, pastor Diane Rutledge takes us back to the very beginning of the Bible, to a declaration God makes before anyone has accomplished a single thing, and to a story in the Gospels where Jesus stops a crowd to restore one woman's dignity in front of everyone.

This is a message about identity, worth, and what it actually means to be made in the image of God. Whether you have been grinding for approval your whole life or just quietly carrying the weight of not being enough, this one is for you.
