What if the biggest barrier to your calling isn’t skill or opportunity but the name you answer to? We dive into the heart of Christian identity and ask the question that shapes every next step: Who does God say I am?
Across this conversation, we trace how the cross doesn’t just cancel debt—it buries old labels. We talk through the difference between believing in God and believing what God says about you, why adoption is received not achieved, and how Romans 8:15 reframes prayer, obedience, and purpose. You’ll hear a candid story from Reverend Corey Young about wrestling with calling, not because God couldn’t use someone like him, but because he doubted God could use him. That turning point—hearing the Spirit whisper, You are who I say you are—becomes a blueprint for confidence rooted in grace, not performance.
From David facing Goliath to Moses before Pharaoh, we show why identity precedes assignment and how that truth changes the way we serve, lead, and persevere. We offer practical steps to live renamed: confess Scripture-based affirmations, reject the pull of past labels, and rehearse truth until your reflexes change. You’ll leave with language you can use today—I am a new creation, I am God’s child, I am chosen—and a clear vision for letting identity fuel obedience and unlock purpose. If the enemy can confuse identity, he can disrupt destiny; but a believer secure in Christ becomes steady, joyful, and hard to shake.
