In this impactful message from guest speaker Carl Kuhl, we dive into 1 Peter 2 to explore how our true identity in Christ shapes the way we live. Carl challenges us to see ourselves the way God does: a hungry infant craving spiritual nourishment, a living stone built on Jesus, and a royal priest invited into God’s presence. When we understand who we really are, it changes how we engage with the world around us. This sermon was recorded live at Trace Church in Colorado Springs, Colorado , a growing church focused on helping people live a God-first life and make an impact in their community. Carl Kuhl is a pastor, author, and church planter passionate about helping people find freedom in Jesus. He and his wife Lindsay co-founded Mosaic Christian Church in 2008, which became one of the fastest-growing churches in the country. Today, Carl serves as an executive pastor at Southeast Christian Church in Kentucky, helping lead ministries across 13 campuses. He and Lindsay have four amazing kids and love exploring new places, especially the Rocky Mountains near Colorado Springs.
