			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s called the <strong>Law of Sacrifice &#8211; You need to give up to go up</strong> (Thanks John Maxwell).</p>
<ul>
<li>Next Saturday at our <a href="http://ysnconpart3.eventbrite.com/" target="_blank">Your Secret Name Conference</a>, you could learn how to be more free.</li>
<li>You could learn more about who you are and whose you are.</li>
<li>You could learn more about your purpose and destiny.</li>
</ul>
<p>But to do that, you&#8217;d have to give up something.</p>
<ul>
<li>Time</li>
<li>Money</li>
<li>Routine</li>
<li>Staying Home</li>
</ul>
<p>But most would rather not. <strong>So most people get exactly what they want &#8211; nothing.</strong> They don&#8217;t want freedom, hope, or purpose enough to invest in it. They don&#8217;t believe in themselves, enough to make a change. And so they stay the same.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re willing to invest $30 and 8 hours in your future, then join us <a href="http://ysnconpart3.eventbrite.com/" target="_blank">next Saturday March 3rd in Powell</a>. And if you&#8217;re not completely satisfied I will refund your ticket, no questions asked.</p>
<p>Need proof that it&#8217;s worth your sacrifice? Read these <a href="http://www.karyoberbrunner.com/your-secret-name/10-reasons-why-10-strangers-believe-god-wants-to-set-you-free-on-july-30th/" target="_blank">10 testimonies</a> or watch <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&amp;v=vkXGl5r1-Mc" target="_blank">this video</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I want to thank you for coming to LBC this past week. I must say, I wasn&#8217;t planning on going to chapel this week due to the many projects I have due in the next few weeks. But, for whatever reason, I decided to go, and was absolutely captivated by your words.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.yoursecretname.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/little-girl-flowers.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1270" title="little-girl-flowers" src="http://www.yoursecretname.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/little-girl-flowers.jpg" alt="" width="271" height="167" /></a></p>
<p>I decided to go hear you speak on Wednesday night in the chapel, and truly thought that it would go in one ear and out the other, but I prayed that God would allow something you say to change me. I&#8217;m not emotional &#8211; never have been, but cried when you said to invite God into the painful situation I went through.</p>
<p>I have always given myself the name &#8220;<strong>Ugly</strong>,&#8221; because that&#8217;s what my mom told me one night when I was in Kindergarten. I was 5 then. I&#8217;m 21 now, and have lived with that name for 16 years. I&#8217;ve been bulimic/anorexic for 8 years&#8230; because I&#8217;ve always seen myself as ugly. Wednesday night, God gave me the name &#8220;<strong>Beautifully Created</strong>.&#8221;</p>
<p>As I was praying that night, God reminded me of many verses that I haven&#8217;t thought about for years&#8230; Psalm 139:14-16 and Psalm 45:11. I&#8217;m so thankful to have had you here at LBC to speak. If it weren&#8217;t for God bringing you here, I would still have the name <strong>Ugly.</strong> I pray that God blesses you richly for the way you have blessed me.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Every second of every single day, is a battle. A battle between myself and society, and often a battle within my own mind.</p>
<div><a href="http://www.yoursecretname.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/images1.jpeg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1257" title="images" src="http://www.yoursecretname.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/images1.jpeg" alt="" width="207" height="243" /></a></div>
<p>All I can do is pray, and hope for happier times to come around, to lift me out of this dark period of my life. It was only by God&#8217;s grace that I found him in my heart. It was something that came to me so quickly, and is still something very new to my life. I may not be the best Christian, but I know in my heart that I have God&#8217;s love, and if I am with him, he will always help and guide me.</p>
<p>To the world I may be depressed, but in God&#8217;s eyes I am hope. I may be known as Gay to this world, but in his eyes, I am complete.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A &#8220;Hard Rock&#8221; group (<a href="http://resistancemovementband.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Resistance Movement</a>) emailed me recently and told me that <em>Your Secret Name</em> inspired them to write a new song called <em>Secret Name</em>. Although this style might not be your norm, I encourage you to check out their new album The Great Constant.</p>
<p><a href="http://resistancemovementband.blogspot.com/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1249" title="resistance movement" src="http://www.yoursecretname.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/resistance-movement.jpg" alt="" width="170" height="129" /></a></p>
<p>The lyrics to the song are below. Or you can find them on <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Resistance-Movement/187703734573996" target="_blank">Facebook</a> or <a href="http://www.myspace.com/resistancemovement" target="_blank">MySpace</a></p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Secret Name</strong></p>
<p>I can see the lights muffled bright<br />
Off in the Distance<br />
Try as I might, Dig in my heels<br />
I can&#8217;t resist them<br />
I can feel the wind Rushing fast<br />
I&#8217;ve closed my eyes dear<br />
Here take my hand, hold it so tight<br />
I&#8217;m not sure where we&#8217;re going<br />
Consider this: we are what we do<br />
We are what we&#8217;ve done<br />
All the things we&#8217;ve said<br />
Will tell us if we&#8217;re dead<br />
So if we reach that place<br />
The place amongst the living<br />
Will you keep us there?<br />
We&#8217;re here for the saving<br />
My heart has things<br />
Worth undoing<br />
Both my lungs<br />
Have started losing</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll ignore the Labels<br />
I will turn the tables<br />
I won&#8217;t stay the same<br />
Hear my secret name</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am a Christian who has struggled with alcoholism.  This is something that I was born with and is mine to own and fight.  With God and his spirit inside me and as a member of AA I can put this horror to sleep.  I can&#8217;t kill it, but it can be kept asleep.</p>
<p>I have always been lifted in this fight with the strong sense of a mission God has for me.  A mission that can only be pursued with a sober mind and soul.  I may not have a sense of where this mission will take me in detail, but I do know the direction.  My secret name is &#8220;Mission.&#8221;<a href="http://www.yoursecretname.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/alcohol.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1235 alignleft" title="alcohol" src="http://www.yoursecretname.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/alcohol-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
