Check out Lily’s MOTION story! Ⓜ️
I grew up at Highlands and always knew who Jesus was but going into my sophomore year of high school, I was overwhelmed by insecurity, shame, and anxiety. I had placed my worth in relationships that left me feeling broken.
Motion Conference 2019, during a worship set, I clearly felt the Holy Spirit speak to me. God asked me to surrender it all—the anxiety, the shame, the misplaced value. I left that conference changed and decided to go all in, even if it meant stepping out of my comfort zone.
I went through Growth Track, joined the worship team, and got connected to Highlands Students. God gave me a community that reminded me where my true value comes from. It comes from Jesus.
Now, I’m a senior at Auburn University, still planted at Highlands and full of the joy of the Lord. I’m so thankful I said yes to Motion Conference all those years ago.
