Choosing Freedom30. Who Do You Want to Become: Choosing Purpose Over PerformanceIf you’ve ever felt stuck between who you are and who you sense God is calling you to be, then this conversation is for you.
What if walking in your identity isn’t based on doing more… but on becoming more? Not through achievements or unrealistic expectations…but by the renewing of our minds with the truth found in scripture.
God’s calling on our lives isn’t a call to perfection. It’s tethered to our obedience to seek an honest relationship with Him, one small step at a time. Purpose over performance.
You were ne...

Join us in this episode, as we examine a street-level view of how we navigated 2025--sometimes bravely…sometimes reluctantly. We talk honestly about moments when we’ve resisted, hesitated, questioned, or slipped back into old patterns. Moments when our flesh may have felt louder than our faith.
