“Everyone Needs a Compass Sooner or later, everyone needs a compass. Some discover this need at life’s peak, amidst success and wealth, only to find an emptiness that prestige cannot fill. Others hit rock bottom before they scream for help, their only option to look up. The point is not how we get there, but that we finally see our need.

I struggled with Jesus until my struggle made no sense. Standing at the cliff's edge, I finally asked for help. I needed a true compass. And in that moment, light flooded in, a peace I couldn’t explain overwhelmed me, and my path became clear.”
