Inviting curious kids and courageous grown-ups to be fearless storytellers of their faith.
Your kids are talking about identity. Are you part of the conversation?
Today’s kids and youth are talking about identity—and often very differently from the adults around them. How can we walk well with them through their questions about who they are and how they fit into the family of God? We must begin by telling a better gospel story, with an invitational posture that actually expects us to love God and love others.

“This book offers a refreshingly honest and thorough exploration into a generational crisis infused with divine opportunity. Christie Penner Worden helps rediscover Jesus in the midst of chaotic time, turning up the volume on the god news. Read this book and learn to love a generation into their truest identity in Christ. This will help us all become who we were meant to be together!”
JONNY MORRISON, church planter, pastor, and author of Prodigal Gospel: Getting Lost and Found Again in the Good News
“Christie Penner Worden has written a book that every parent, teacher, leader, and pastor should read. It’s colorful, charming, and filled with the deep wisdom we need for this moment. The Me I Was Made to Be will help you navigate difficult conversations with grace, it will empower you to share the love of Jesus with kids, it will give tools to be a non-anxious, Jesus-like presence in people’s lives, and maybe most surprising of all, it will remind you of God’s deep abiding love for you.”
Christie is an exuberantly curious leader who is passionate about seeing kids and their grownups know the great big love of our Great Big God. From dreaming to word-smithing, Christie creates spaces where generations can ask big questions about faith and explore together. She is stubbornly obedient to God’s call on her life, which often shows up like a finger painting in her imagination. Christie is outlandishly creative, tenaciously childlike and relentlessly passionate for the Gospel.
