Biblical and Theological Themes: belonging, welcome, integrity, identity, authenticity, being yourself. Although most of these themes sound very contemporary, as does the message about being yourself and eventually finding your people, there is potential to make connections with the identity formed through baptism, and the broader biblical idea that we are “fearfully and wonderfully made” by a God who knows us and loves us as we are.
