Deep dives
Abiding in Truth and Community
Living fearlessly in our true identities requires us to approach the Lord in truth, avoiding self-protection and self-promotion. By abiding in Him and in community, we can shed the false and confront our fears, experiencing transformation and growth.
Joy as a Source of Strength
The joy of the Lord is our strength, providing us with the vigor to pursue our true identities. When joy wanes, so does our strength, making it crucial to maintain joy through connection with God.
Calling Out of Hiding
God calls us to come out of hiding and receive our true identities. By facing the truth about ourselves and inviting God to reveal His perspective on who we are, we can step into the fullness He has designed for us.
Living Generatively in Relationship
Living generatively entails engaging in relationships that are dynamic and maturing, like the relationship between mentor and student. By abiding in the truth and pursuing community, we can experience growth and transformation.
Overcoming Fear and Embracing Identity
Overcoming fear involves truth-telling and confession, letting go of self-protective behaviors and embracing God's truth about our identities. By seeking the Lord and community, we can move forward with confidence in our true selves.
This week on the podcast, our favorite guest (actually, our most popular guest of all time), Jamie Winship is back to talk about how to live fearless in your true identity. Of all the conversations we've had with Jamie, this one is the cornerstone. One of the main messages I want you to extrapolate from the conversation is understanding why we so easily lean toward behavior modification instead of heart transformation.
