What happens when you finally realize God loved you even at your worst?
In this deeply personal message, I share my journey from addiction, violence, brokenness, and self-destruction to discovering the transforming power of God’s unconditional love. Growing up in a world filled with pain, substance abuse, and hopelessness, I cried out to God night after night because deep inside I knew there had to be more to life than the path I was on.
Everything changed when God revealed the truth of Romans 5:8 to my heart: while we were still sinners, Christ loved us and gave Himself for us. I realized God loved me just as much at my worst as He does now.
This message is about more than failure and recovery. It’s about discovering that God does not define you by your worst moments. He is not waiting to condemn you or push you aside. He wants to rescue, restore, and rebuild your life from the inside out.
If you’ve ever struggled with shame, condemnation, destructive cycles, or feeling like you’ll never change, I believe this message will help you see God, and yourself, in a completely different way.

Everyone has a set of core beliefs for identity, self-image and self-worth, and it’s from this Life Matrix that every decision is determined. We can never succeed when we make any decision that exceeds these beliefs. We do one of three things with goals and dreams that exceed our Life Matrix: we disqualify ourselves and never try, we quit before we accomplish the goal or we sabotage our success. Therefore, self-worth is one of man’s deepest needs.
According to one of America’s great leaders, “America doesn’t have a sin crisis, it has a self-worth crisis.” If you feel like a king you act like a king and you make decisions like a king. Lack of self-worth often drives us to the need for professional accomplishments, material possessions, and personal comparisons and judgments; yet, none of these provide the sense of dignity that God intended for man.
In the beginning God crowned man with dignity and worth from which he ruled Planet Earth. We will only discover the life God has for us when we experience Bible-based self-worth. In this powerful series you will be taken through the process of establishing a biblically-based self-worth founded in your identity in Jesus. A few of the many benefits you will gain are:
• You will discover God’s incredible value for you.
• You will change the way you feel about yourself.
• You will be transformed by experiencing dignity and worth.
• You will find insights into the true biblical basis for spiritual authority.
• You will change the way you see others by changing the way you see yourself.
• You will experience the incredible power of dignity and worth.
• And much, much more…
Investing in your dignity and worth will be one of the best investments of your life!
