Some words describe us. Others try to define us. And if we are not careful, the wrong ones can quietly shape the way we see ourselves and the lives we believe we are allowed to live.
In this week’s teaching, Debbie Keever opens an honest and deeply personal conversation about labels—where they come from, why they stick, and how they influence our identity far more than we realize. Through the story of Ruth, Debbie challenges listeners to distinguish between labels that describe circumstances and the truth of who God says we are. This episode invites us to examine the voices we have trusted and to realign our identity with the Creator who knows us fully.
As you listen, you will encounter:
A biblical exploration of Ruth’s two defining labels—Moabite and widow—and why neither determined her future or limited God’s plan for her life.
Insight into how labels are formed through family history, culture, authority figures, and personal failure, and how they can quietly restrict obedience and calling.
A powerful invitation to replace false identities with scriptural truth, allowing God’s Word to remove not only the label itself but the residue it leaves behind.
This episode is a call to step out of inherited assumptions and self-imposed limitations and into the freedom that comes from believing what God says is true. Listen and begin walking with confidence rooted in His voice rather than the labels of the past.
