Why Were You Born?

1 minute read time

Beyond Today host Gary Petty presents the seminar "Why Were You Born?" on September 10, 2014 in Cincinnati, Ohio. What’s my purpose in life? The question comes when we least expect it. When we're dazzled by the spectacle of a star-filled sky. Or when we gaze into the innocent eyes of a newborn child. Or when we're in crisis and all seems lost. The Bible says you were created in the very image of God. What does that mean? The answer can change your life.
