Victory Conference 2023
February 27-March 2
I thought God was going to use me. I thought He had chosen me to do great things for His people. But then it all fell apart. I blew it. I ran from my responsibility, abandoning the people I was supposed to help. Now I feel dead inside, just existing, with no hope of God using me. It was a nice dream, but I don’t think it’s going to happen. I haven’t told anyone this, but I’m done.
Sound familiar? You’re not alone. We’ve all been there.
But what if we told you that the problem isn’t actually you; it’s your God. God Himself isn’t broken, but your view of Him is. Though you think you know Him, the way you view yourself screams that you actually don’t.
You see, your perception of everything—including yourself—changes when you encounter God and see Him for who He truly is. As you encounter His love, it changes how you view your failures. As you experience His grace, it changes how you view your weakness. As you truly meet the God of the Bible, you realize that your identity is inextricably linked to His.
And that flips the script on everything.

And that flips the script on everything.
What was once academic doctrine now becomes life-giving deliverance. What was once a distant provision now becomes a present reality. What once seemed like an impossible standard to achieve becomes your greatest hope, because it’s who you actually are.
This is more than learning facts about God; it’s encountering Him in the burning bush and having your whole paradigm altered. It’s seeing that what God is, you already are in Christ. It’s discovering the answer to the hard hearts around you, the plaguing doubts within you, the failures behind you, and the Red Seas before you—the answer is knowing the I AM.
