STORIES FROM THE FIELD
A New Creation in Christ
What does it mean to become a new creation?
Fourteen students and seven adults gathered at Wooster High School’s FCA Huddle on October 27 to hear Nate Eaken of Faith Alive Christian Center share his testimony. He spoke about growing up amid instability, foster homes, and difficult family circumstances—and about a hope that is greater than our past.
Drawing from 2 Corinthians 5:17, Nate reminded students that those who belong to Christ are made new. Our identity is not ultimately determined by our experiences, achievements, or failures. He also pointed to Romans 14:17 and the righteousness, peace, and joy found in the Holy Spirit.
The invitation was personal: Will we let our circumstances define us, or trust the One who makes us new? In Christ, the past does not have the final word.
