We kicked off our Say Yes series by challenging the cultural obsession with self-esteem. Eric showed us that while encouragement is good, building your value on talents or achievements leads to insecurity. Instead, Jesus offers something deeper—self-worth rooted in your identity as a loved and created child of God. You were made on purpose, for a purpose, with a purposeful design. This truth reshapes how we view ourselves and our calling. And for many, living this out starts by saying “yes” to serving others—especially the next generation. Self-worth leads to purpose, and purpose leads to action. Say yes.
