The Climb illustrates the importance of the truths we live by, the truths woven into our souls through adversity, pain, and loss that bring us closer to our authentic selves and into a more authentic relationship with God.
Because God pursues us with unrelenting love, at some point in every person's life the following will be true:
There is a path, but it's not the one you would choose
There is a plan, but it's not the one you had in mind
There is a purpose, but it's impossible to understand in the beginning
There will be transformation, but not the kind you'd ever dream of
Follow Me ...
