Ruth’s passion for ministry comes out of Psalm 51, especially verse 13, “Then I will teach transgressors your ways, so that sinners will turn back to you.” Ruth’s basic recovery premise is this…
- Safety comes before intimacy
- God’s love covers a multitude of sins
- We’re breaking the status quo – come as you are…
- We’ll find your niche – every star has its own place

- IDentity Agreement – This video gives a spiritual perspective of a person’s life, a road map so to speak. We’ll start by thinking about our identity from God’s perspective. Then we’ll see Satan’s influence through the impact of our double-mindedness, our interpretation of experiences through our neurological, physical and emotional lens. Whose perspective will we chose to believe? Sometimes we align with God’s perspective and sometimes Satan’s. You get to choose your identity agreement.
