Podcasts about identity in christ

Can God’s love really be this good—or is that just sentimental fantasy? In this episode of Perspectives with Catherine Toon, Catherine goes straight into the heart of a jaded, skeptical age and shows how God’s love is actually the most realistic thing in the universe. Drawing from John 18, John 1, John 17, John 6, Hebrews 4, and the parable of the sower in Matthew 13, she explores how truth (aletheia) is not just a concept, but a Person—Jesus—who comes full of grace and truth to bring spiritual healing to our wounded, distrustful hearts. When life has been brutal, “realism” can start to look like cynicism: we call it wisdom, but inside we’ve lost wonder, childlikeness, and the ability to hope. Catherine gently exposes how unbelief, jadedness, and skepticism are heart conditions, not moral failures—and how they keep us from experiencing God, hearing His voice, and stepping into the spiritual transformation we’re actually hungry for. She unpacks the different “soils” of the heart: hardened paths, shallow gravel, thorny distractions, and finally good, rich soil that receives the seed of God’s word and bears real fruit. You’ll discover how seeing God as punisher wrecks mental health, while seeing Him as He truly is—Healer, Lover, Truth Himself—brings freedom, sanity, and joy. This is about identity in Christ and learning to be teachable again, to trade “I’ve seen it all” for blissful eyes and delighted ears that can receive fresh revelation in a skeptical world. Practical takeaway:
Ask Holy Spirit to highlight one area where you’ve become jaded, skeptical, or shut down. Write it down, and pray: “Jesus, I believe—help my unbelief. Heal this part of my heart and make it good soil for Your truth.” Revisit this with Him over the coming days and notice what begins to soften.

Send a textChristian women often struggle with confidence not because they lack ability, but because they've been taught that boldness equals pride and visibility equals compromise. In this episode of Hustle in Faith, we explore how Christian women can build confidence without compromising their faith, values, or identity in Christ.This episode breaks down the difference between worldly confidence and God-centered confidence, why shrinking is not biblical humility, and how Christian women can walk boldly in their calling while staying anchored in obedience to God. Whether you're navigating corporate life, leadership, business, or a season of transition, this conversation will help you stop second-guessing yourself and start showing up with faith-rooted confidence.If you've ever felt pressure to tone yourself down, wait for permission, or question whether confidence is “allowed” as a Christian woman, this episode will remind you that confidence rooted in Christ is not arrogance; it's obedience.Sign up for Activate Your Calling: Create, Build, & Promote Your Gift: https://bit.ly/4r0QixGSign up to be notified about Faith to Launch Community: https://bit.ly/FaithtoLaunchPlease join me in my YouTube only series, 30 Days to Becoming a Stronger, More Confident You in Christ: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfkkBA4-h1A56MxObeO__s873pdUnnWQ5

In this episode of the Kansas City Underground podcast, Brian and Cory welcome Riley Griggs, who shares his journey from a small town in Kansas to living on mission in North Africa and back to Manhattan, Kansas. Riley discusses his experiences with the Ichthus campus ministry and how it shaped his understanding of disciple-making and community. He reflects on the importance of identity in Christ and how it influences his approach to evangelism and mission work, emphasizing the need for patience and discernment in sharing the gospel.

True prosperity is defined not by money or possessions but by wholeness, which includes having peace, joy, health, purpose, and an intimate relationship with God. Under grace, prosperity flows from our identity in Christ, not from performance or religious obligation. Joseph was called prosperous not because of his status or wealth, but because of God's presence with him; today, we have God in us. Giving is no longer transactional but an expression of love and alignment with Jesus' finished works. Grace-based prosperity is rooted in relationship, not religion, and transforms every area of our lives.   To support the ministry financially, text "CDMPodcast" to 74483 or visit www.worldchangers.org

Why do so many Christians struggle with temptation, doubt, insecurity, and a lack of spiritual strength? Why does victory in the Christian life often feel elusive?In this sermon, we return to one of the most foundational truths of the New Testament: identity. Scripture teaches that every person is born into one of two realities—in Adam or in Christ. By nature, we are united to Adam, sharing in sin, death, and condemnation. But through faith, God offers a radical transformation: a new identity, a new standing, and a new life in Christ.Rather than calling us to self-effort or moral improvement, the gospel announces a decisive change of position. The first Adam brought death; the second Adam, Jesus Christ, brings life. This message traces that contrast through Romans, 1 Corinthians, Colossians, and beyond, showing how our union with Christ shapes assurance, holiness, and victory over sin.If you are battling temptation, weighed down by guilt, or struggling to understand who you truly are as a believer, this sermon calls you back to the fundamentals—not what you must do, but who you already are in Christ.Key Points: 1. In Adam 2. In ChristWhether you are seeking clarity, assurance, or new life, this message invites you to reckon the truth of the gospel and live in light of your identity in Christ.

Does your heart race the moment you try to be quiet? You aren't alone. Sometimes, when we need God's peace the most, our words get tangled in fear and we don't know what to say. Discover the power of prayer in overcoming anxiety in this video using Scripture. This video is a guided prayer for anxiety based on God's Word designed to help you when you can't find the words yourself.We often think we need to explain our pain to God perfectly for Him to hear us. But true relief doesn't come from your eloquence; it comes from resting in His promises. If you are exhausted by "churchy" answers that don't stop the panic, this Scripture-based prayer is for you. We are moving past the guilt of feeling anxious and into the Father's protection.In this episode, we guide your heart through six stages of moving from fear to faith:God's Presence: acknowledging He is your shield.God's Promises: letting Him hold your right hand.Your Identity: remembering you are an adopted son, not a slave to fear.Rejecting Fear: standing firm against intimidation.Righteousness: resting in His lasting love.Victory: declaring that nothing separates you from Him.Scripture References Used in This Prayer:Presence: Psalm 27:1, Psalm 23:4–5Promises: Isaiah 41:13, Proverbs 3:25–26, Proverbs 3:24Identity: 2 Timothy 1:7, Romans 8:15, John 14:27Rejection of Fear: Matthew 10:28, Proverbs 29:25, Hebrews 13:6Righteousness: Isaiah 54:14, Isaiah 54:4, 1 Peter 3:12–14Victory: Psalm 27:3, Romans 8:37–39God's Word never returns empty.

In week four of our Essentials series, we look at what Jesus teaches about serving in Matthew 20:20–28.Our culture often defines greatness through status, recognition, and influence — but Jesus completely reframes it. He shows us that true greatness in the Kingdom of God is found through humility, sacrifice, and serving others.But serving isn't meant to be something we schedule occasionally or treat like a task we clock in and out of. It's meant to be integrated into the way we live and relate to people every day. Biblical servants don't keep score, don't need recognition, and aren't driven by comparison — they are secure in their identity in Christ.We don't serve to prove our worth.We serve from our worth.As followers of Jesus, we are formed not by what we do occasionally, but by what we do consistently. And if serving was central to the life of Jesus, it must become central to ours.

Ep 374 Our Firm Identity in Christ

You had a plan. You prayed about it, believed God was in it, and then life took a turn you didn't choose. The door closed. The timeline stretched. The opportunity didn't come. Now you're somewhere you never planned to be, and the questions won't stop: Did I miss it? Did I hear God wrong? In this episode, I'm exploring what happens in the season you didn't expect and didn't choose.In this episode, you'll discover:Why closed doors might be protection, not punishmentWhat Abraham's 25-year wait teaches us about promise and formationHow identity gets clarified when outcomes don't validate usThe place where character catches up to callingHow to release timelines without losing faithWhat Romans 8:28 really means for unexpected seasonsThe question that changes everything: "Who am I when this doesn't work?"RESOURCES:

Youre a piece of work! But in the very best way. We are all a work in progress and Paul encourages us that we were created in Christ Jesus, His masterpiece in the making. In order to make it all work - He must be at work within us everyday. The big idea of this study of Ephesians is that The Gospel should affect the way we live our lives personally, in our communities, and with our families. Ephesians is about understanding our identity in Christ and how that identity shapes the way we live.

Chris Avery is a Faith-First Performance Coach who walks men from the valley to the mountain—out of fear and into mission. He built the Run with Christ Blueprint, a Scripture-anchored system that cuts through the noise with group coaching, a real brotherhood, and practical tools to win the spiritual warfare of everyday life because anything meaningful, purpose-driven, and worthy of your dream life takes grit, time, and a team. The focus: emotional resiliency, unshakeable faith, and driven clarity.Chris spent years overthinking, stuck in fear and uncertainty until he went to work on his mind. After 10,000+ hours of audio books, he rebuilt how he spoke to himself and the world. He launched a coaching company, trained 10 coaches, and served thousands while testing his own edges: running a marathon without training, ran a weekend 50-miler during COVID with only his wife to crew, and 60,000 pushups + pull-ups in 90 days.Two truths forged all of it:1. The limiting beliefs we put on ourselves are just that. We are capable of far more than most of us give ourselves credit for.2. When you align with God and move in His power, you become truly unstoppable. “If God be for us, who can be against us?” (Romans 8:31)On January 9th, 2022, Chris started a simple experiment—run one mile a day for a week. One week became 90 days, then 1,460+ consecutive days (nearly four years). Today he averages 17 miles daily.In 2027, his family will travel the perimeter of the United States while he runs 50k/day (~31 miles) for 365 days—the family-powered mission is known as Chris Runs America. His message is simple: it's not about more hustle and grind; it's about consistent obedience. Running became the forge where stress quieted, faith deepened, and leadership sharpened. Chris speaks on discipline, identity in Christ, fatherhood, and the power of daily miles to shape the man God is calling you to be.Socials:Website: https://chrisrunsamerica.com/LinkedIn: Chris Avery FB: Chris Avery Coaching Insta: @chrisaverycoaching Enjoy the visual here on Youtube

In this episode of the I Am That Woman podcast, Felicia discusses the theme of secure identity, focusing on the biblical perspective from 1 Peter 2:9. She emphasizes that our identity is not defined by our past or the world's labels but is rooted in being chosen, royal, set apart, and belonging to God. Felicia shares personal experiences and insights on how embracing this secure identity can transform our lives, encouraging listeners to walk confidently in their faith and identity in Christ.TakeawaysYour identity is not found in your past.You are chosen intentionally by God.Royalty means you have authority and access to God.Being set apart is for a divine purpose.You belong to God, not your mistakes or trauma.Your testimony of survival and healing matters.Confidence comes from believing God's word over your life.Insecurity can be countered by reminding yourself of your identity.Walking in your identity means living boldly and confidently.Your identity is secured in Christ, regardless of circumstances.

God is a God of abundance, not scarcity—and His love is big enough to touch every place you fear not having enough. In this episode of Perspectives with Catherine Toon, Catherine continues her Made for Abundance series, speaking straight into the pain of lack, fear, and the belief that God is stingy or withholding. Catherine unpacks how perfect God’s love casts out fear, how scarcity is a result of the fall—not God’s heart—and how Paul could learn to be content in both abundance and lack because he was rooted in an unshakable Source. From Psalm 36’s “fatness of Your house” and the “river of Your pleasures” to the imagery of Eden’s rivers of delight, Catherine shows that we were always designed to live from overflowing fullness in God. You’ll hear how God never cursed humanity—curse is a consequence of disconnecting from Life, not a punishment from divine anger. Lack, fear, and death-thinking are “hellish concepts” God is actively transforming into an inner Garden of Eden in you. As you awaken to your identity in Christ as a co-heir, you begin to drink deeply of His goodness, learning to trust Him as Source instead of clinging to stuff, hoarding resources, or worshiping lack. Catherine also breaks down how true abundance isn’t greed or prosperity-obsession—it’s spiritual transformation and spiritual healing at the level of how you see God, yourself, and provision. From the “fatness of His house” to rivers of Eden flowing within, this is about experiencing God as lavishly kind, playful, and faithful in every area of your life—including your finances and other tangible areas of your life. Practical takeaway:
Ask Holy Spirit: “Where have I believed You are withholding from me?” Write down one lie about lack you’ve carried, then replace it with truth: “In Christ, I live from Your abundance, not from scarcity. You are my Source.” If this episode blesses you, please like, subscribe, comment, and share it with someone wrestling with provision or fear of not enough.

When Jesus hung on the cross, what did God the Father actually see? Most of us see a historical event where a Savior died for us, but the Bible reveals a deeper mystery: Jesus died as us. In this message, we dive into the "Spiritual Camera" of God to understand our true identity in Christ. We explore how Jesus, as the Last Adam, represented all of humanity—taking the punishment for every wrong you could ever do and nailing the requirements of the Law to the cross once and for all. In this video, you will learn: The Concept of Identification: Why you were "in the picture" during the crucifixion. The Roman Triumph: How God stripped the enemy of all authority and made a public spectacle of the forces of darkness. The End of Effort: Why no one is made right by obeying rules, but only through the Finished Work of Jesus. Real-World Authority: A powerful testimony of how the Name of Jesus stops the works of darkness in their tracks. Key Scriptures: Colossians 2:13-15, 2 Corinthians 5:19, Galatians 2:20, 1 John 5:14.

The Theology of Resilience: Trusting God When Life Doesn’t Make Sense with Daniel RitchieResilience isn’t just the ability to survive hardship…it’s the courage to believe that God is still good, purposeful, and present in the middle of it. Today’s guest embodies that truth in a powerful way. Daniel Ritchie was born without arms, something that, by the world’s standards, could have defined his limitations. But instead of allowing his circumstances to dictate his identity or future, Daniel has chosen a life marked by faith, joy, perseverance, and purpose.This conversation goes far beyond overcoming adversity. It’s about how emotional wounds can run deeper than physical ones, the power that is found through surrender, as well as rooting and anchoring our identity in Christ, and how weakness, when placed in God’s hands, can become a platform for His strength.Daniel is a longtime evangelist, speaker, author, and currently serves as First Vice President of the Southern Baptist Convention.

If you do not know your identity in Christ, people, problems or your past will define who you are.

Ambition tends to get a bad rap, particularly in Christian circles. Sometimes, that's for good reason. But sometimes, it's simply because we're missing the point: Scripture doesn't call us to kill ambition but to aim it properly. In this week's message from Romans 15, Pastor Curtis shows us how the gospel shapes ambition and ultimately redeems it. When we are secure in our identity in Christ, we won't be striving for self-worth; we'll be striving from the worth given to us in him.

In this sermon from John 17:20-26, Pastor Andrey brings us into the final movement of Jesus' High Priestly Prayer, where Christ intercedes not just for His immediate disciples, but for believers across the centuries—including us.Drawing on the profound reality that Jesus was praying for future believers before they ever existed, Andrey reveals the staggering truth of our inclusion in Christ's eternal love. As Jesus prepares for the cross, He looks across time itself and prays for those who would believe through the disciples' witness, demonstrating that our salvation was secured not just in the cross, but in the prayer that preceded it.This passage unveils Christ's deepest desires for His people: supernatural unity that serves as compelling witness to a fractured world, and eternal glory that awaits those who are loved with the very love the Father has for the Son. Andrey shows how Christian unity is not optional preference but evangelistic necessity, rooted not in our similarities but in our shared identity in Christ.Ultimately, this message stirs fresh longing for the day when faith gives way to sight and we behold Him face to face, while calling believers to live out the unity that makes the gospel credible to a watching world. In a time when division seems easier than love, this sermon reminds us that we are prayed for, chosen, and destined for glory.

Pastor Marshall Ochs | February 8, 2026In this message, Pastor Marshall teaches from Romans 6. In this chapter, Paul teaches that God's grace is not permission to continue sinning but the power to live a new life, because believers are united with Christ in His death and resurrection and are therefore “dead to sin” and alive to God. Paul explains that Christians are no longer slaves to sin but are now called to live in obedience and righteousness, using the truth of their identity in Christ—especially verses like Romans 6:11—as a practical weapon against temptation.

My life’s work now is about family, about helping others, and about using whatever time and gifts God has given me to make a difference.” - Tim Green “God had other plans—plans that were bigger than anything I could have imagined. Looking back, every step prepared me for the next one. He was weaving the story long before I knew it.”- Tim Green “What really matters is your faith, family, and identity in Christ—not in a jersey or a job. Football gave me a platform, but it’s faith and family that gave me a purpose.” - Tim Green “My diagnosis forced me to confront what really matters—to put Christ at the center, not tucked quietly in the background. It made every day, every relationship, every breath more precious and more purposeful.” - Tim Green “One morning, I woke up with a clarity I didn’t create that this wasn’t the end of my story. I realized that God had left me here for a reason. Maybe to show that even in suffering, His goodness can still shine. That moment was a second chance, and I wasn’t going to waste it.” - Tim Green “Prayer became less about asking and more about resting. Peace came in small moments—a hand held, a smile, a sunset—reminders that God was still here.” - Tim Green “Every chapter of my life has required a deeper anchor than achievement. When the applause stops, when the career ends, when the body fails, you need a foundation that won’t.” - Tim Green “It was my profession of faith in Christ, and my realization that I know so little about Him, that started me on my journey in faith that I still pursue today.” - Mike Flynt “So many people need to know that somebody else has overcome and that Christ was there and they can take that same concern, those same weaknesses, to Him and know that if He did it for Mike, He’d do it for anybody.” - Mike Flynt ________________________ Enjoy watching these additional videos from Jesus Calling YouTube channel!
