Self-Care & Identity Resources
God desires for you to have peace, joy, and purpose in your life – and He is clear in Scripture that we only find this in a relationship with him. As a result, He desires for us to be kind to ourselves and to care for our bodies, relationships, emotions, and mental health. If you are looking for help to slow down, build gratitude, and care for yourself in a Christ-centered way, you will enjoy the resources outlined below.
