Cari Jenkins and Who You Really Are

Cari Jenkins is an author, spiritual director, and Executive Director of Urban Skye.

She found Jesus to be completely faithful, even accounting for her unwillingness to listen. Cari’s tender love and experience of him will encourage you to seek his love and your identity in him, too.

Great quotes from Cari:

I want to invest in people who want to invest in people.

I am untethered much of the time from the things that at one time I put my identity.

Identity is the song I’m meant to sing.

When we begin to know the voice of the shepherd, we can actually begin to know what does he say about who we are; it will always lead to goodness, truth, and beauty. Always.
