I am enough. 
The phrase offends and causes people to come back with, "No, Jesus is enough!"

It’s a lonely place to struggle to believe what God says about you when the culture you’re surrounded by is quick to tell you you’re wrong.
Listen in today and be encouraged to keep believing you are enough, and hear practical ways to respond to Jesus when people tell you that you aren’t enough.
