13: How Do You Identify?
Jun 17, 2023
James and Shanda

Finding your identity is a hot topic these days! As we were chatting around the campfire the other night, we began to take an introspective look at where we are finding OUR identity.

It is our goal in this episode to peel back the layers on where we are finding our identity and how that affects the way we live as Christians. It is easy to become hyper focused on how OTHERS are identifying, but are we missing a good opportunity to take a close look at ourselves and see ourselves the way God sees us?

Here is what you can expect in this episode:
1:30 - Intro to Topic
3:27 - Seemingly Harmless Things We Find Our Identity In
12:28 - Where should we find our identity?
33:10 - See Ourselves As God Sees Us
40:11 - Obstacles to Believing Our Identity in Christ
45:30 - Live Fully Into Your Identity

References:
Ecclesiastes 9:10 - "Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might."

Mark 12:17 - "Jesus said to them, "Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's.""

Galatians 2:20 - "I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me."

1 Corinthians 6:19-20 - "Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body."

Ephesians 4:32 - "Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you."

Jeremiah 31:30 - "I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore I have continued my faithfulness to you."

Romans 8:15-17 - "For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!” The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him."

Ephesians 1:7 - "In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace."
