God Didn't Create Us to Do It All
God doesn't need you to meet all the needs, know all the answers, or to be superhuman. Yet as Christians, we often confuse our creaturely limits with sin. In You're Only Human, popular speaker and award-winning author Kelly Kapicshows that God just desires you to be a faithful human creature whose finitude fosters freedom, joy, growth, and community.
