220. Your Performance Does Not Define You

In a performance driven society, we can get tangled in the lie that our identity is found in the strengths that God has given us. Culture seeks to glorify what we do and how well we do it. What we find in this episode is that our strengths are tools that God gives us in order to live out our purpose, but never intended to define who we are.

219. Your Past Does Not Define You

Good or bad, we often allow our past to define who we are today. Christ has made us to live out our purpose in this moment we find ourselves in today, not tied to memories of yesterday. This episode shares the freedom we can experience by living who we are and what we are called to be totally free today.
