From the Archives: Dougal Steven: What Are You Holding Onto?

In this From the Archives episode of The Takeaway, we revisit an encouraging message from Dougal Steven of CruWest, originally shared during the Week 8, Term 1 Chapel at HillSide Christian College.In a world where it's easy to place our identity in achievements, relationships, possessions, or success, Dougal reminds us that these things are temporary. Drawing from Ephesians 2, he shares how God's unchanging Word anchors us in His love, mercy, and grace, revealing that our true identity is found in Christ alone. Through practical encouragement, he challenges us to spend time in God's Word each day, allowing it to shape our hearts, strengthen our faith, and draw us closer to Jesus. It's a message about finding lasting hope, purpose, and identity in the One who never changes.—You can connect with us further at hillside.wa.edu.au or on Instagram @hillsidechristiancollege or Facebook @hillsidechristiancollege1—HillSide Christian College is a Christ-centred K–12 school situated in Perth, Western Australia.
