This Is The Change You're Looking For

Most of us know there are areas in our lives that need to change. The harder question is whether we're willing to let God be the one who does it.

Pastor Jeff Cramer works through the wrestling match at the brook Jabbok — Jacob alone in the night, clinging to God until daybreak, walking away with a limp he'll carry forever. When God asks Jacob his name, it's not because he forgot it. He's asking if Jacob is ready for something different. Jeff unpacks the name change from Jacob to Israel, connects it to Simon becoming Peter, and lands it squarely in the present — whatever your old name used to stand for, that's not the name God is calling you by now.
