Our daily lives are where our faith takes shape. If we are to be effective on our ‘Frontlines’ – the places where we live and work every day – we need to live like Jesus: a life of complete obedience and trust in God; a life of gratitude and inner contentment; a life of radical generosity and courage. A life like that makes a difference in the world!

Trust
Our ability to control our lives is limited, and so being able to trust God is a comfort and source of strength!

Obedience
Obedience is the sign that we love and trust God. Our greatest joy is found in giving Him pleasure!

Contentment & Simplicity
God’s call to learn contentment and live simply is an antidote to stress and anxiety.

Generosity
Jesus was radically generous, giving his very life for others – and He calls us to be the same!
