Impact 2025 Theme

upended

Alright, so here's the deal: we all kinda make our own rules to get through life, right? We might not jot them down or even realize we're doing it, but it's just how we roll. As we go through life, hanging out and meeting people, we create our own ways to level up.

We’re always remixing ourselves to fit in or stand out. We have these ideas about how we should see others and how they see us. The spots we hit. The friends we chill with. The ones we don’t. If we’re real, we’ve got a whole playbook for how the world should work. But what if we’ve got it all twisted?

Here’s the wild part: God’s Kingdom upends our expectations big time. Everything we thought we knew? God’s like, “Nah, let me show you something different.” The Bible is full of stories showing how strength comes from being vulnerable. Freedom? It’s about living by God’s rules, not ours. And get this—sometimes, when we think it’s game over, it’s actually the beginning. Plus, you don’t need to shout to make an impact; sometimes the quietest lives are the most influential.
