Summary: Despite all the affirming memes and self-reflections that dominate social media feeds, approval and worth often seem assigned to what we do rather than who we are. As a Taiwanese immigrant growing up between two cultures, Chou Simons was always on a mission to prove her worth. She came to truly understand the one thing that changes everything: the extravagant, undeserved gift of grace from a merciful God.
