Have You Struggled with Identity and Royalty?

There are a few conversations that stop me in my tracks, and this was one of them. Sitting across from Tim and Demi-Leigh Tebow, I wasn’t just speaking to a Heisman Trophy winner and a former Miss Universe. I was sitting with two people who live out their faith with more authenticity, humility, and conviction than almost anyone I’ve ever met. What struck me most is how both of them, despite the platforms they’ve been given, have had to wrestle with identity, comparison, loss, and purpose, just like the rest of us.

Tim shared the heart behind his new book Look Again and what it really means to understand your worth through God’s eyes, not the world’s. When he said, “We use people and value things, instead of valuing people and using things,” it hit me hard. He reminded us that every single human being carries the image of God, that you’re not just bearing His image, you are His image. You are royalty. That truth changes how you see yourself and how you see others.

Demi opened up about her journey from wearing the Miss Universe crown to realizing that she had attached her identity to it and the freedom she found when she handed it back. She also shared the raw pain of losing her father just days before our conversation and how she’s choosing faith in the middle of heartbreak. Her story is one of strength, surrender, and trust, choosing not to ask “Why?” but “Where?” Where is God working this together for good? That perspective will change how you face every challenge in your own life.

We also talked about something that’s destroying people quietly, comparison. Tim reminded us that comparison kills joy. You can’t be grateful and envious at the same time. And Demi shared her own powerful insight: when you scroll through social media, you’re often letting people who don’t love you speak into your life. It’s time to take back that space and fill it with truth.

And perhaps most moving of all, we dove into the heart of their work through the Tim Tebow Foundation, serving the most vulnerable around the world. From survivors of human trafficking to children with special needs, they’re proof that when you stop and see people the way God does, everything changes. You don’t need a big platform to make a difference, you just need a willing heart.

Key Takeaways:

• How to find your true identity and worth through God’s eyes

• Why comparison kills joy and how to break free from it

• How to find hope and peace in the middle of loss

• The difference between bearing God’s image and being His image

• How small acts of compassion can create massive change in someone’s life

This is one of those conversations you’ll feel deep in your soul. If you’ve ever doubted your worth, questioned your faith, or wondered if God still sees you, this one’s for you.
