ABOUT THE COLLECTION: In the midst of the daily grind, life can become overwhelming and leave us feeling like we just don’t have the strength.  It’s here that God invites us to depend on a strength that does not come from trusting in and depending on ourselves, but instead one that comes from Him and the power of His might.  Let’s be a generation that allows God to redefine strong for us; because if we do, we’ll find true peace and rest as He shows us that His grace is truly sufficient. 

Our Fully Known & Wholly Loved Collection Tee Shirt will soon become your favorite shirt in your closet! Unisex and true to size with a little extra length. In a beautiful Heather Stone color with soft blush ink. And, yes it's super soft! 

ABOUT THE COLLECTION:

Pastor Tim Keller says, “To be loved but not known is comforting but superficial. To be known and not loved is our greatest fear. But to be fully known and truly loved is, well, a lot like being loved by God.” This is the heart behind our Fully Known and Wholly Loved Collection … for our identity to be born out of the unconditional love of our Maker, and our love for others to shine out from the overflow of that love.

Scriptures:

O Lord, you have searched me and known me! You know when I sit down and when I rise up; you discern my thoughts from afar. You search out my path and my lying down and are acquainted with all my ways. Even before a word is on my tongue, behold, O Lord, you know it altogether. You hem me in, behind and before, and lay your hand upon me. (Psalm 139:1-5)

ABOUT THE PRAY COLLECTION

Just like any relationship in our lives, God wants us to talk with Him, listen for His voice, and spend time with Him. Prayer is a means to do just that. Praying and talking with the Lord all day long keeps our hearts aligned with His and our eyes focused on watching for God to move and work in our lives.

Scripture: "Don't worry about anything but in everything through prayer and petition with thanksgiving present your requests to God. And the peace of God which surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:6-7)

Scriptures:

Those who look to him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame. (Psalm 34.5)

For God, who said, "Light shall shine out of darkness," is the One who has shone in our hearts to give the Light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ. (2 Corinthians 4:6)

You are the light of the world. A city situated on a hill cannot be hidden. No one lights a lamp and puts it under a basket, but rather on a lampstand, and it gives light for all who are in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven. (Matthew 5.14-16)
