What We Believe

Restored Hearts, Renewed Creation

At the foundational heart of Love Drives Us is a conviction that true transformation begins within. We share the core vision of Become New, embracing the truth that the most significant gift God receives from our lives is the person we are becoming.

  • Surrender & Grace: We believe that real strength is not found in self-reliance, but in quiet surrender: "I can’t. God can. I think I’ll let Him." As Dallas Willard taught, spiritual formation is the grace-driven shaping of our inner character into the image of Christ—learning to live, love, and serve in God's kingdom right where our feet are planted.
  • Restoration of All Things: Inspired by N.T. Wright’s vision of new creation, we recognize that God’s ultimate purpose is not merely to rescue us from the world, but to heal and restore it. Through Christ, God is actively renewing hearts, lives, and creation itself, inviting us to be active instruments of His grace.


Whether serving at home or on the road, our mission is to reflect this renewing power—offering hope to the weary, walking alongside the struggling, and seeing God's wonder restored in every life we touch." We believe in the power of renewal, as reflected in God's promise: "I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you." (Ezekiel 36:26) "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!" (2 Corinthians 5:17)

Love

“This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters. If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them, how can the love of God be in that person? Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth.” (1 John 3:16-18)


“What the world needs now is love sweet love, it’s the only thing that there’s just too little of.” (Hal David) We are called to share God’s love with others. The more we allow the Holy Spirit to work in us, pray for God’s wisdom and guidance, spend time in His Word, which is living and active and are filled by His grace and love, the more we are able to share that same love with others.
