Who does God say you are?Today, we’re diving into the meaning behind our tagline: "Helping you see yourself through God's eyes" and exploring the podcast’s founding scripture, Romans 8:17.Once you have a vision, carrying it out can feel daunting. That’s why it’s crucial to know who you are and who you serve—giving you the courage to stay the course. Our identity must be rooted in what God says about us, not in the world around us.As children of God and co-heirs with Christ, we are called to stand firm in His truth. We hope this encourages you to ground your identity in Christ and move forward boldly with the vision He has given you—becoming an effective citizen of the Kingdom of God!
