A few weeks ago, I asked those in our Living Grounded community—When did you own your faith? We’ve received many great stories, and I want to share them over the next few weeks. It’s not too late to submit your “owning your faith” story. We’d love to hear it and share it as encouragement for others!

WHEN DID YOU OWN YOUR FAITH?
MYRNA’S STORY

Myrna Covington
February 13, 2026
I recognized I owned my faith when I was around 19. I began declaring and accepting that ‘I was the righteousness of Christ’. No more guilt, as I declared this statement out loud, over and over again (no longer needing to go to the confessional box weekly). I then started walking in new freedom, knowing that Jesus paid for my unrighteousness and sins (past, present, and future) on that cross. It was finished, just like He said.

REFLECTIVE QUESTIONS

1. What would it look like for you to trust God’s sovereignty in an area where you currently feel overlooked, opposed, or constrained?
   
   
2. Where is God growing you in a hard place right now? How might he be using pressure to multiply your faith, character, or influence? 
   
   
3. How is God using a “wilderness season” to shape your character? Are you embracing or resisting your current season?
   
   
4. Where in your life are you tempted to think God has forgotten you? What might God be preparing in your current season of waiting? Can you trust him?
   
   
5. How has God used past seasons to prepare you for future service? Where might God be calling you to step into uncomfortable obedience?

The TEN SIGNPOSTS of Scripture
CAMDE-400-CALY
Creation. Abraham. Moses. David. Elijah. 400. Christ. Apostles. Letters. Yet-to-Come.

“CAMDE-400”—HANDHOLDS THROUGH THE OLD TESTAMENT

CREATION (Genesis 1-11) 
We considered this part of God’s story in the first month of our study. It is foundational to understanding the whole story. We learned about Yahweh Elohim, the powerful and personal God who breathed the breath of life into humanity. Sin disrupted God’s fellowship with Adam and Eve, so God graciously began the story of redemption by promising a Savior (Gen. 3:15). After the flood, the earth was populated by Noah’s descendants. 

ABRAHAM (Genesis 12-50) 
God had promised a Savior. He chose Abraham as the founder of a nation through which the Savior would come. This promise was passed down to the patriarchs Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. In this section, common issues such as lying, jealousy, envy, betrayal, and mockery of God persist as God continues to reveal his plan for his people. Finally, through a series of events involving Joseph and his brothers, Jacob’s small clan ends up in Egypt and, over time, becomes a feared nation. 

MOSES (Exodus—Joshua)
For four hundred years in Egypt, the nation of Israel grew strong. Eventually, the pharaoh forced Israel into slavery and ordered the killing of all male Israelite newborns. Moses was spared, raised in Egypt’s royal courts, and educated at its finest universities. But when he took matters into his own hands by killing an Egyptian who was mistreating a fellow Israelite, he was forced to flee for his life. Forty years later, God called Moses to free Israel from slavery. Because of Israel’s blatant disobedience, the nation wandered in the desert for forty years. Moses died, and Joshua was appointed to lead Israel into the promised land.  

DAVID (Judges—Song of Solomon)
David represents the period of the judges (forerunners of the kings) and the kings of Israel, who ruled over the united and divided kingdoms. The Davidic Covenant promised that David’s throne would be established forever (2 Sam. 7:16). This promise was ultimately fulfilled in Jesus, the King of kings (Rev. 22:16). This section includes Ruth, Esther, Ezra, and Nehemiah, significant leaders in God’s story, as well as books of poetry and proverbs. 

ELIJAH (Isaiah—Malachi)
In Matthew 17:1-5, Moses and Elijah appeared with Jesus while he was with Peter, James, and John on the Mount of Transfiguration. Moses represented the law, and Elijah represented the prophets. Prophets appeared before, during, and after the exiles.[1] They warned Israel of the consequences of disobedience and looked forward to the promised Messiah. 

400 (Years between Old Testament and New Testament)
After the Old Testament closes with the book of Malachi, four hundred years passed before God spoke again through the last prophet, John the Baptist. This period is known as the Intertestamental Period or the Silent Period. 

“CALY” –-HANDHOLDS THROUGH THE NEW TESTAMENT 

Christ (Matthew-John)
The Synoptic Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke), along with John’s Gospel, provide the story of Jesus on earth—the incarnation, his teaching, the crucifixion, the resurrection, and the post-resurrection appearances. 

Apostles (Acts)
The Acts of the Apostles begins with the ascension of Jesus and the coming of the Holy Spirit. The Spirit lit the flame that ignited the church. In Acts, we follow Peter and Paul, learn how Jews and Gentiles came together into one body, and watch churches begin throughout Europe and Asia. 

Letters (Romans-Jude)
The New Testament contains twenty-one letters. Paul wrote thirteen of them. Most of the letters are addressed to churches, while a few are addressed to individuals.

Yet-to-Come (Revelation)
The Revelation of Jesus Christ was given to an angel, who then revealed it to the apostle John while John was exiled on the Island of Patmos. The Revelation begins with letters to seven churches and then describes the judgments that will end life as we know it, ultimately ushering us into the eternal kingdom.
