We live in a culture obsessed with identity but confused about who we really are.

From Instagram bios to personality tests, TikTok tribes to gender debates, the world tells us to “find your truth” and “be whoever you want to be.” But what happens when that self keeps changing? What happens when the mirror cracks?

In Episode 9 of Walking with God, we tackle one of the most important worldview questions of all time:

Who am I, and who gets to decide?

This episode explores:

• Why Genesis 1:27 is the original identity statement: “In the image of God… male and female He created them”
• The biblical doctrine of the Imago Dei and how it redefines our essence, purpose, and worth
• What happens when identity is self-invented vs. God-given
• How to stand firm in Christ in a world of shifting labels, fragile feelings, and performance-driven worth
• Why the gospel doesn’t just forgive your sin, it gives you a new name, a new nature, and a new future

We’ll walk through how identity is shaped by worldview (naturalism, postmodernism, pantheism, and biblical theism), and how only the truth of Scripture offers a stable, redemptive, and joyful answer. You were made by God, in His image, for His glory, and that truth changes everything.

 Key Truth: Your identity isn’t something you earn, invent, or curate. It’s something you receive—anchored in creation and renewed in Christ.
