Mixed: Embracing Complexity by Uncovering Your God-Led Identity

By Eli Bonilla Jr.

Book Overview

Have you ever felt like you're not enough this or too much that to fit in anywhere? Ever felt mislabeled, misunderstood, or confused enough to seriously ask, Who am I, really? Most of us have at some point. Our culture provides rigid categories for belonging, yet each of us is an "original," with our own "mixed" background-socially, culturally, experientially. No one person is an identical copy of anyone else. Pairing personal stories with biblical teaching, Eli questions the basis of unity and inclusion and explores the multiple components of our identity, discovering how they can all be reconciled for God's purpose as we reflect His image. Mixed will lead you to find peace with the complexity within yourself, understand yourself more deeply so you can relate to others, experience more human connection through a God-led identity, develop greater empathy, celebrate cultures without creating division, and fight for people in the margins. God made you the way you are for good reason, and you belong wherever He says you belong. So build a stronger sense of who God made you to be, and then step confidently into every relationship, fully owning your unique distinctions and celebrating the differences of others.
