Reclaiming the Story of Who You Were Created to Be with Karrie Garcia

In her latest book, Free and Fully Alive: Reclaiming the Story of Who You Were Created to Be, popular faith-leader, speaker, and certified life coach Karrie Garcia shares something most Christians can identify: “I was taught that God wants us to live freely, but I never understood what that kind of freedom meant or felt like. It seemed like a good idea in theory, but elusive—I had no idea how to grab hold of it.” In Free and Fully Alive, Karrie draws on her own experiences and expertise to create a dynamic, practical guide for readers to learn how to embrace their past and discover a deeper connection to themselves, God, and others. What is the difference between being free versus being free AND fully alive? What’s the first step someone needs to take to embrace his/her story – and why is it so crucial? How does understanding trauma help us understand sin and brokenness? Why do we need to lament our places of wounding? Though it’s difficult—as you note—why is it necessary to talk about the Enemy? How does he use isolation, doubt, and chaos to trap us? How can you determine if you’re caught in a “cycle of false freedom”? What’s the harm in these often benign behaviors? What are some biblical references that underscore the power of invitation?
