Philippians 3:1-11. Paul had every credential one could hope for...but it was nothing compared to his new identity in Christ.

Today on the Daily Nugget, Mike circles back to Romans 7:14–18, focusing this time on the Apostle Paul's identity. Mike explores how Paul sees himself—not as a wretch—but as a saint made righteous through Christ. Evil, though still present, is portrayed as a foreign intruder, disrupting the new life Paul has in Jesus. This perspective offers hope and clarity for believers wrestling with sin while clinging to their true identity in Christ.

"The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full." — John 10:10 Identity theft is a growing threat today. Scammers try to steal our personal information and gain access to our financial accounts. In the spirit world, another identity thief lurks as well. The master deceiver, Satan, tries to rob believers of the assurance of their new identity in Christ. He tries to sow seeds of doubt, despair, confusion, and insecurity within us. If he cannot possess us, the devil wants at least to wear us down and make us feel defeated, limiting our service for God and his kingdom. But we are not alone. We have the presence of God in our hearts, and we have God's Word to assure us and strengthen us with the truth. Jesus promises that we will have life to the full, and no one can snatch us out of his hand (John 10:28-30). The Lord and his Word remain our best protection, affirming that we are not defined by past successes or failures but only by our union with Christ. Through faith, we receive his righteousness and become the children of God. We are forgiven, cleansed, and commissioned to be his representatives in the world. As God's handiwork, we are created to do good works that honor the Lord and bring blessing to others. As God reassures us through his Spirit and his Word, we are redeemed, beloved, and empowered to live out his purposes with confidence and grace each day. Lord, help us to see that our worth is defined by you, not by the opinions of others. By your Word and Spirit, assure us always that in you we have full life forever. Amen.

Questions about reasons to think human beings are the most valuable things in the universe, how terms like “identity in Christ” and “child of God” can help someone who feels like a failure, and how to “give it to God” when you're being consumed by worry.   Can you expand on your belief that human beings are the most valuable things in the universe? People use terms like “identity in Christ” and “child of God” to help me in my struggle with low self-esteem and feeling like a failure. Can you help me understand what those terms mean? How do you lay something at God's feet? When I'm being consumed by worry, how do I “give it to God”?

We all feel restless at times, and Father Dave welcomes back Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith to discuss finding our identity in Christ. Dr. Saundra is a board-certified internal medicine physician, the CEO of Restorasis, and the author of “Being Fully Known: The Joyful Satisfaction of Beholding, Becoming, and Belonging.”

We are all in the search for the miraculous. But that search brings us on a journey into ourselves, to discover true intimacy with God and renewed identity in Christ. Only when we learn to hear God's voice can we fully step into the realities of heaven on earth.

When it comes to who we are, it is largely, if not entirely seen by what we do.  For example, If one is considered, “honest,” it is entirely because he or she tells the truth, and also follows up on what they say they are going to do or not do. If one would be considered, “faithful,” it is because he or she has a record free from betrayal, and also positions his or herself away from any opportunity for unfaithfulness or even perception thereof. Last Sunday, we began a new 3-part series called, “Fulfilling our Identity in Christ,” where we are covering the 3 MAIN identities the scriptures call us unto, what they mean, and how to engage and thrive in these rolls. This Sunday, we will be continuing it with part 2 on “Servant-hood”

In this sermon, Jim Osman explores the effectual call of God and its role in the salvation of sinners.

This call is central to the believer's new life and identity in Christ. ★ Support this podcast ★

This sermon highlights the divine principles that set believers apart as peculiar people, chosen by God to live differently from the world. The preacher emphasizes that letting God lead our lives is a foundational principle—trusting His guidance brings purpose and direction, distinguishing us from those who rely solely on their own understanding. Another key principle is the importance of new relationships—aligning with people who strengthen our faith and help us grow spiritually, rather than those who pull us away from God's plan. The central truth of this message is that God saved us to be peculiar, calling us to live differently from unbelievers. Being peculiar means being different, unique, or even strange compared to others. Through obedience, faith, and community, believers experience transformation and become a light in a dark world. This episode encourages listeners to embrace their identity in Christ, boldly walking in the principles that set them apart. Are you willing to let God shape your life into something extraordinary?

Ephesians 1:3-14 Continuing the Series "Eternity is Now in Session", we learn that our identity is based on the fact that we are chosen and loved by God, and that we are adopted into His family. Once we receive His mercy and are empowered by His grace, we need to live like we're chosen, walk like we're redeemed and stand like we're sealed.

Memorable Quotes: "The Lord will delay a certain outcome or reward because either I wasn't ready or the people who were going to be part of that were not ready." "Before acting on an emotion or thought, ask yourself: Will this support the life I'm trying to create and the person I want to become?" "When he is enough, you are enough."

In this series, Gary encourages us to OWN our identity in Christ by doing a Deep Dive on key promises of God. In this episode, he focuses on the promise "I am Completely Secure." As followers of Christ our security does not come through our performance and what people think of us, but Christ's performance and who He declares us to be. It's time we OWN who God declares us to be!"And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." (John 8:32).PURE ENCOURAGEMENT RESOURCES ON IDENTITY IN CHRIST⁠⁠⁠Free ​Identity in Christ PDF⁠⁠⁠​Take the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠30 Day Identity Challenge⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Deep Dive Questions for Small Groups⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Download the Stronghold Buster Worksheet⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠MORE RESOURCESStart your Week with ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Monday Motivation⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠​Bi-weekly ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Blog⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠​Need Soul Care?⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join a Journey Group⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠​More ⁠⁠Free Resources⁠⁠ at our Website

George shares his powerful journey from addiction to grace, demonstrating how the gospel's true message breaks cycles of sin and religious performance when properly understood.• George was a 24-year-old alcoholic and porn addict when he first encountered God in 2007• Initial freedom through salvation gave way to legalistic Christianity that created deeper bondage• Five years of religious performance led to suicidal thoughts despite being heavily involved in church• The turning point came when God spoke to him during a suicide attempt in his garage• Understanding his value and identity in Christ broke the cycle of guilt and condemnation• Reading Matthew 6 with fresh eyes revealed how God saw his worth beyond his performance• Freedom came not through fighting temptation harder but through embracing his true identity• Religious legalism creates a mindset that makes freedom impossible by focusing on sin management• True transformation occurs when believers see themselves as already free rather than constantly fighting sin

Ep 340 | Show notes are here: https://www.merrittonsa.com/podcast/340  Could your self-doubt actually be a spiritual battle in disguise? Taking a step toward your big dream puts a bullseye on your back that the enemy cannot ignore. That's why it is so important to equip yourself with the truth of God's Word and put in place an action plan that will help you fight back when imposter syndrome returns. Because it's not just a mindset hurdle; it's a spiritual battle the enemy loves to use to keep Christian women stuck on the sidelines. In this episode, you'll learn:

You don't have to stay in the dark. In this episode, Daron unpacks Jesus' declaration from John 8: “I am the Light of the world.” Through cultural insight, personal stories, and the power of grace, this message invites you to step into the light—into hope, healing, and identity in Christ. Key Takeaways: – Jesus doesn't expose us to shame us—He reveals to restore. – Darkness twists the truth; light reveals it. – The light of Christ brings clarity, peace, and purpose. – Your past doesn't disqualify you—God's grace defines you. – You are now the light of the world. Go shine. Quotes: “Darkness makes us believe lies about ourselves.” “Jesus doesn't throw stones—He offers healing.” “You don't need to walk in darkness—not anymore.” “You are the light of the world now—go shine.”

Alright friends, this is the very first episode in my Relationship Ready series! Since I'm about to have our sweet baby (so wild!!), I'll be re-sharing some of my most popular episodes all about relationships while I take a little break for maternity leave. And honestly, I couldn't think of a better way to kick it off than with my bestie Madison Prewett Troutt. This episode is packed with truth, laughter, and so much wisdom—I just know it's going to bless you big time. We hadn't recorded together in forever, so this was such a sweet reunion and honestly, it turned into one of the most real and heartfelt convos.We talked all about her book The Love Everybody Wants, and let me tell you—it's powerful. Madi shared how she started writing this book when she was single and finished it after getting married. She opens up about heartbreak, healing, finding identity in Christ, and how to actually love others well. We also dove into some big topics: why singleness is actually a gift (yes, we've both been there!), what red flags to look out for in relationships, how to know if he's the one, and why your relationship with God and yourself has to come first. It's deep, vulnerable, and full of encouragement—I think you will love it.

In this episode, we break down the reality of spiritual warfare—not as a distant, abstract idea, but as a very real insurgency happening in our lives right now. Drawing from battlefield experience and biblical truth, I explain how the enemy operates like an insurgent force: hiding in the shadows, sowing division, attacking the family unit, and undermining your identity in Christ.This isn't a war fought with bombs or bullets—it's fought with truth, discipline, and the armor of God. Just like in counterinsurgency, we must secure the terrain of our hearts, expose the lies, and build spiritual strongholds rooted in faith.If you're a man trying to lead your family, overcome addiction, deal with pressure, or simply stay grounded in a chaotic world—this episode is for you.
