Joe’s Motivation: As we approach Lifeline 2026, we look back on Easter with gratitude and joy at what GOD DID through the sacrifice of Jesus! It reminds me of the song ‘Because He Lives,’ originally by Bill and Gloria Gaither, but covered in 2014 by Matt Maher.

“Because He lives, I can face tomorrow. Because He lives, all fear is gone! Because I know who holds the future, and life is worth the living, just because He lives!!”

Remember that fear is one of the greatest barriers to living a Christlike life. Fear is something our enemy uses to keep us from fulfilling our purpose. But because He lives, what or whom should we fear? Jesus defeated our greatest enemy, death. ‘Fear not’ appears 365 times in the King James version of the Bible. That means it’s important!!

Gabriella’s Motivation: In order to have a purposeful life we need to live every step of the way with hope. Going through life with intent, making proactive decisions based on core values rather than reacting to circumstances. Self-Awareness, Understanding your own strengths, talents, and passions to guide your path. Contribution, focusing on making a positive difference in the world and serving others. Remember God is is almighty and will help YOU if you let him.
