The author coined the phrase "ChristiANTity" and explores an analogy between ants and people stating that while ants are no bigger than a paperclip, these insects are unique, social, live in colonies, and most importantly, each one has a very specific job. Everyone has the ability to make a difference in the world no matter how small and insignificant you may feel at the time.

The field of psychology shows that labeling someone often changes that person's belief about themselves as well as their very essence. As her story unfolds, we are able to see numerous examples where the author was searching for a closer relationship with God and was asking people in authority for leadership and guidance, and when asking questions about the plan of salvation, she was often dismissed with the Christian clich "Either you are or you aren't" regarding salvation.

The author takes us on her journey to find grace, forgiveness, and a sense of purpose in a world full of people dishing out labels but never being willing to stop and find out why she was struggling because it is often easy to say "I'll pray for you" and not get our hands dirty with someone's drama. This story offers hope and encouragement to others to not give up despite their trials and tribulations. The author openly shares her personal experiences associated with the damaging effects of labeling and the stigma associated with receiving a mental health diagnosis, divorce, and the loss of a child. And throughout her story, we are able to feel her struggle to find a closer relationship with God.

The more we focus on our accomplishments and successes in life, the less room we will have for self-defeating thoughts.
