Book: "Unbecoming:Living For Jesus Inside Out and Upside Down

In a world that constantly tells us to strive for more, to be better, and to achieve success at all costs, we often find ourselves caught in a relentless pursuit of self-improvement and validation. We are bombarded with messages that encourage us to build our identities on external achievements, appearances, and the approval of others. Yet, despite our best efforts, we often feel empty, unfulfilled, and disconnected from our true selves.

“Unbecoming: Living For Jesus Inside Out and Upside Down” is an invitation to embark on a transformative journey of shedding the layers of societal expectations, self-centeredness, and superficiality that have shaped our lives. It is a call to embrace a radical shift in perspective, one that aligns with the teachings of Jesus Christ and challenges us to live from the inside out and upside down.

This book is not about adding more to our already overflowing plates or striving to become someone we are not. Instead, it is about unbecoming—letting go of the false identities and misplaced priorities that hinder our spiritual growth and prevent us from experiencing the fullness of life that Jesus offers. It is about discovering the freedom that comes from living authentically, rooted in our identity as beloved children of God.

Throughout these pages, we will explore the various aspects of our lives that need to be unlearned and transformed. We will delve into the ways in which our independence, insecurity, pride, and selfishness have shaped our actions and relationships. We will confront the lies we have believed about ourselves and others, and we will learn to embrace the truth of who we are in Christ.

Living inside out means allowing our inner transformation to shape our external actions and interactions. It means prioritizing our relationship with God above all else and letting His love and grace flow through us to impact the world around us. Living upside down means adopting a countercultural mindset that values humility, service, and selflessness over power, success, and recognition.
