    Don't Listen to Everything You Hear | Christine Caine | Passion 2025

    Kicking off Passion 2025, Christine Caine emphasizes the importance of knowing our identity in Christ and being rooted in the Word of God. This generation is tempted to look to social media and compare ourselves to others, but Christine urges us to put on our noise-canceling headphones to drown out the voices around us so that we can more clearly hear the voice of God above all else.
