My Affliction for His Glory ― Living Out Your Identity in Christ

Who am I? What am I here for? Does anyone love me? Do I have worth?

Adversity can lead to doubt on the deepest levels: compared to others who have it "all together," our lives, with our difficulties, can seem beyond our ability to deal with daily tasks, let alone bigger topics like purpose, love, or faith.

Daniel Ritchie was born facing a unique kind of adversity: he was born without arms. Yet after he surrendered his life to Christ as a young man, he learned that only in Christ could true worth and purpose be found—freeing him from others' comparisons and restrictions to live a full life that seemed impossible.

Daniel's story will teach you to tackle life's challenges with grace and creativity—as he shows you how to see your life through Christ's eyes.

Daniel Ritchie is a speaker and writer from Huntersville, North Carolina, who has contributed to such publications as Desiring God and For the Church.
