Are you in a place of waiting? Do you feel like there is seemingly no end in sight? In this episode, author and speaker Ann Swindell joins us to discuss what it looks like to wait and trust in Jesus. Ann shares about her own season of waiting and how it has led her back to the truth of God's Word time and time again. This conversation will challenge you to consider your identity in Christ as it relates to waiting and it will encourage you to reject defining yourself solely by what you lack.

READ: 2 Thessalonians 2:13 – 3:5 • Ephesians 2:4-5 • Psalm 19:9-11 • Colossians 3:16 • Mark 16:15 DISCUSS: • Describe a time when the truth of God's Word relieved you of fear and worry? Why is it important for us to stand firm in the truth of God's Word?  • How does recognizing our identity in Christ provide us with the security necessary for living victoriously for Christ?  • How can Paul's prayer for the Thessalonians inform the ways we pray privately and corporately? How does prayer bring God's people together…even those suffering in other parts of the world?  • Discuss the process of preaching the Word, receiving the Word, and proclaiming the Word. Why must the Church do all three to ensure that it's gospel-centered?  PRAY: Pray that whatever situation you are going through that you can stand firm in the Lord and hold onto the truth of His Word.  RESPOND:  Commit to pray for yourself and others to have a faith that is grounded, guarded and growing.

Today's podcast is titled “Never Lose Your Soul”. We find our true identity and our complete fulfillment in an intimate and loving relationship with God and His son Jesus! However, we live in a world that is constantly working overtime to pull us away from the fulfiller of our needs, Jesus Christ himself. As we struggle through life, circumstances, people, and material goods often threaten to steal our joy, and cause us to feel like we've lost our soul. In today's podcast, I, discuss what it means to lose your soul, and ultimately how to find your soul, your peace of mind, your joy, and your true fulfillment. In addition, we discuss how to find self-worth through our identity in Christ. We discuss how to become who God created us to be. The answer to overcoming anxiety, depression, trauma, life difficulties, and all things that bring us pain, is to remain close to Jesus, the shepherd. When we are in “right” relationship with God, the father, we are in our true self, and working towards becoming who God created us to be. Sadly, many of us are operating out of a false self, and this leads to a complete lack of peace, joy, and the losing of our very souls. This episode, points all listeners to Jesus and provides answers, techniques, and necessary life skills to finding victory in our lives.

Revelation 18 - Today, we learn the importance of not being caught up in materialism and greed, instead we should be caught up in Christ. As we help people find their identity in Christ, we call people to repentance and they have hope.

We are starting to enter the season where the preparations for Christmas are being made. If you attend certain churches, you may be starting what is called Advent? Why do some churches do advent?

Our guest today is Mary Antony. She's a wife, mom of 3 daughters, and is passionate about sharing the truths of our identity in Christ with others. Mary grew up as a missionary kid in Mumbai, India. It was really hard for her family to live out their faith in a culture that equated spiritual blessing with physical blessing. Because her family was not materially affluent, Mary doubted God's love and presence in her life, and she came to believe lies about God and herself. While she kept up the appearance of being a good missionary kid, she became skeptical of living a life surrendered to God. Mary was determined to take control of her own life. She didn't want anyone telling her what to do, and she definitely didn't want to follow a God that seemed like He didn't love her. Eventually, Mary found success in the modeling industry, but it wasn't long before this left her feeling empty inside. Then, one night, her life was forever changed when she opened up her Bible for the first time in years. Unbeknown to Mary, her mom had been on a 21-day water fast for her salvation after her mom took hold of her own identity and freedom in Christ through reading Neil Anderson's books. On this episode, Mary shares about her powerful salvation story, how Freedom in Christ transformed her entire family, and why she believes every Christian needs to know their identity in Christ and understand spiritual warfare.

For all of us our identity is formed in a variety of ways, some have been good, others have been difficult and painful. Ruth was a Moabite, a widow, and an impoverished gleaner of another's field. However, when Boaz redeems her she gains a new identity as a wife and an accepted part of the Israelite community. Though we may have pieces of our past that attach themselves to us, when we are redeemed we too gain a new identity in Christ. He declares we are washed, sanctified and justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Join us for session eleven as we discover how knowing Christ impacts our identity.Verses Used:Ruth 4:9-14aPsalm 30:5bPsalm 40:21 Corinthians 6:112 Corinthians 3:2-4Discussion Questions:Are there any areas of your life in which you feel overlooked, forgotten or undervalued? Do you allow these areas to speak to your identity? How so?What things in your life that were beyond your control negatively affect your identity?Do you struggle with a sense of shame, unworthiness, or guilt?  If so, why? What is the source of these feelings?Read 1 Corinthians 6:1 and Romans 8:1.  How do these verses combat guilt, shame and condemnation?When we accept Christ we receive a brand new identity.  Why is it such a struggle to walk in confidence in this new identity? What can we do to better stand firm in this truth and not allow the enemy to lie to us about our identity?

This week the Apostle Paul describes his sacrificial ministry for Christ. He provides an overall purpose and goal for believers as they realize their identity in Christ. Paul also explains one of his favorite theological words, pulling from Daniel 2 concerning the mystery of Christ.

Most people care about what other people think about them. It's normal. Sometimes, however, the need for approval and applause from people becomes the primary driving force in someone's life. At that point, our identity in Christ and the love of the Father take a back seat to what other people think and say about us. In this message from Prestoncrest Youth Minister Bryan Borden, we discover the truth of God's Word about the only approval that matters eternally - the love and acceptance of God. About the series. . . Jesus once declared – “You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free.” Through his messages and his ministry, he offered people a new life where the chains of sin, addiction, and shame were broken. As Paul puts it – “It is for freedom that Christ has set us free.” In this message series from Gordon Dabbs, Ph.D., we will explore both freedom FOR and freedom FROM. In Christ we are set free from certain things, so that we may life for the kingdom.Subscribe to PRESTONCREST - with Gordon Dabbs on Soundwise

Christian is incredibly excited to speak with Rich Froning, the first person to win the title of "Fittest Man on Earth" after winning first place in the 2011 to 2014 CrossFit Games. Rich talks about where he gets his motivation to compete at such a high level, including a lot of busywork chores when he was growing up and having 25 male cousins who were always competing. Rich admits that as he gets older, he's not as interested in team competition and chooses to prioritize his family. While winning is certainly fun, the physical and emotional toll the training and competition takes is tough. Rich also recalls how placing second in the CrossFit Games was his rock bottom and a wake-up call that CrossFit had become not just his identity but an idol in his life. How do you fight against idolizing it? It's a daily battle. Finally, Rich shares how he keeps a tally of how he's measuring up each day in three categories: faith, family, and fitness. https://www.faithfulcounseling.com/huff — Get 10% off your first month! https://melin.com/christian — Get 20% OFF your first order with code CHRISTIAN.

In our quest for life success, too often we struggle with the need to chase money and wealth versus the desire to pursue God's kingdom as if there is a guilt-ridden disjoint between them.  However, engagement in business for financial rewards can be viewed in two ways - ownership and stewardship. Ownership says that we can possess material assets and do with them what we wish while stewardship, a biblical principle, tells us that we are entrusted with a life, with gifts, and with material assets that belong to God, not owned by us, and for which we are responsible and accountable. Our guest today, Matt Stone of SVN Stone Commercial Real Estate, sheds light on what stewardship means for business leaders. Sharing his own journey of discovering and pursuing his life mission, he recounts the process and the struggles in discerning what God has called him to do. What shapes his mindset and influences his decisions is always rooted in the conviction that God is the owner of all the talents, resources, and opportunities. Click now and let's challenge ourselves to connect everything we do in all aspects of our lives with what God is doing in the world. Key Points From This Episode: Matt talks about an interesting deal that he's been working on recently.Matt's personal background and how he came to faith.Matt discovers his relational talent and devotes himself to vocational ministry with students and young people.How Matt sorted through what God is calling him to do.How did Matt get into the real estate business?The story of how Matt achieved worldly success and significant business growth while focusing on building God's kingdom.What is Matt's advice for people who are struggling with their missional and financial focus?Examples of what it means to steward God's company for His purposes?Tweetables:“Have people around you that can speak truth into your life that can lead you through a Bible study, or that can disciple you, or that can encourage you as you process and struggle through what it means to have your identity in Christ.”“Don't focus so much on what you do, focus on who you are in Christ and being in Him.” Links Mentioned in Today's Episode:SVN Stone Commercial Real EstateMatt Stone on LinkedInClick to Find out more about our upcoming event: "Crafting Your Kingdom Investing Thesis" About Matt StoneMatt Stone, CCIM, SIOR, MBA is the Managing Director of SVN Stone Commercial Real Estate.

Carla Pratico based her entire identity on her own achievements. Then one night while partying at a bar she heard a calling that lead her to find her true identity in Christ.

Today we are going to be talking about “Breaking free from culture to find our true identity in Christ.” In our culture today, it is very easy to get lost in all of the hustle and bustle of busyness, social media, comparison, and everything else vying for our attention. It's so easy to get caught in the trap of seeking our worth, identity, and significance in the things of this world. It's a dangerous cycle to look in these places to try to find security and approval. This cycle of finding our self-worth in the wrong places can have a domino effect on all areas of our lives and lead to pain, regret, shame, and feeling hopeless. But there is hope! There's always hope when we know exactly where to find our true worth and security, and that is in Christ. Our guests today, Brittany Maher and Cassandra Speer, co-authors of the book, Her True Worth: Breaking Free from a Culture of Selfies, Side-Hustles, and People Pleasing to Embrace Your True Identity in Christ, are here to share with us why this topic is so important and how it can help us break free from traps the enemy sets to distort our true worth.Coffee and Bible Time Prayer Journal - https://www.coffeeandbibletime.com/product-page/prayer-journalCoffee and Bible Time Prayer Binder - https://www.coffeeandbibletime.com/product-page/prayer-binderCoffee and Bible Time Courses - https://www.coffeeandbibletime.com/coursesBook - https://amzn.to/3EQnNx4IG @hertrueworth: https://coffeeandbibletime.hopp.to/instagram13IG @brittmaher: https://coffeeandbibletime.hopp.to/instagram14IG @cassandralspeer: https://coffeeandbibletime.hopp.to/instagram15Bible (Brittany): https://amzn.to/3UZs0EpBible (Cassandra): https://amzn.to/3EyzgjhFavorite Apps (Brittany): YouVersion: https://coffeeandbibletime.hopp.to/youversion--Blue Letter Bible App: https://coffeeandbibletime.hopp.to/blueletterbibleFavorite Apps (Cassandra):True and Lovely Co.: https://coffeeandbibletime.hopp.to/true-and-lovely-co.1Enduring Word Commentary: https://coffeeandbibletime.hopp.to/enduring-word
