Click Here to Listen! In this episode, Courage and Zaneeka discuss what it means to embrace who God says you are and how this identity should transform how we live and interact with others. They explore the difference between knowing the right phrases and truly living them out, especially within the church. The hosts emphasize that embracing God’s identity for us requires both heart and head work. Courage shares how her journey began with head knowledge—searching the scriptures to make sense of her life and to test if God was truly who He said He was. In contrast, Zaneeka reflects on how she was drawn into the Word by the Holy Spirit, which began transforming her desires from within. They both highlight the importance of heart work: healing from past experiences and false identities in order to fully accept and live out the truth of who God says we are. Key Points: Living Out Your Identity: Many people recite phrases about their identity in Christ but struggle to live them out. True transformation should reflect in our actions, such as kindness, grace, and patience. Head Work vs. Heart Work: Courage and Zaneeka discuss starting with intellectual understanding of the Bible before realizing the need for deeper heart transformation to embrace God’s truth fully. False Identities: Life experiences and societal pressures often lead us to take on false identities. The process of unpacking these requires intentional heart work. Transformation Through the Word: Spending time in scripture led to personal transformation for both hosts, even when their initial motivations differed. Willing and Enthusiastic Embrace: Embracing who God says we are means not only accepting it out of obligation but doing so willingly and enthusiastically. Click here to join the podcast community.
