What if the Christian life could be distilled down to five simple truths? In this joyful and deeply grounding sermon for Confirmation, Bishop Laura Ahrens offers “five things you need to know to get your day going” — reminders about love, forgiveness, courage, new life, and community that speak not only to those being confirmed, but to anyone trying to navigate a complicated world with faith and hope. Whether you’re feeling uncertain, overwhelmed, inspired, or ready for a fresh start, this message is a gentle but powerful reminder: you are never alone.
