Ready for a deep dive into a question that we all wrestle with: "Who am I?" In this episode, we're steering clear of the usual self-help territory and going straight to the source—our identity in Christ. We are joined by the renowned biblical counselor and author, Elise Fitzpatrick.

Elise doesn’t hold back as she shares the transformative message that we are unceasingly, passionately, and personally loved by God. She uses the powerful analogy of Christ as our husband and us as His bride to emphasize a deep, devoted, and passionate love that can move mountains.

We delve into Romans 8:35-39, exploring how nothing can separate us from the love of God. Elise explains how this passage lists out all the hardships we face—tribulation, distress, persecution, and more—and reassures us that we are more than conquerors through Him who loves us.

We discuss the radical idea that our identity is rooted in being loved by God, and how truly believing this can change how we approach life. From mundane frustrations like a bad hair day or a parking ticket to deep, challenging times, understanding our identity in Christ can anchor us in wholeness and security.

Join us as we explore how this profound truth of being fully known and fully loved by God can lead us to true freedom and transform how we live, love, and interact with the world around us.

Ever wondered who you really are beneath all the titles and to-do lists? Join us as we dive deep into this profound question with Elise Fitzpatrick's incredible insights on finding your identity in Christ. This episode features excerpts from her talks that make complex theological truths feel intensely personal.

Elise, with her decades of life experience, shares powerful statements that challenge our usual perceptions of faith. She flips the script by explaining that God chooses us precisely because we wouldn't choose Him on our own, emphasizing that our worthiness has nothing to do with it. Her message is a game-changer, reminding us that God's love is constant, unwavering, and meets us in our imperfections.

We discuss how understanding our true identity in Christ frees us from performance-based worth, empowering us to face life's challenges with peace and confidence. Elise's concept of "posture" illustrates how knowing we are chosen and loved unconditionally can change our approach to everything from work stress to personal relationships.

In this episode, we also tackle the tough question of how to live out this identity in the midst of life's curveballs, from grief to everyday stress. Elise encourages us to cling to God's unchanging love, seek community support, and dive into scripture for strength.

As we wrap up, we reflect on a powerful question: If you truly believed you were chosen, holy, and blameless in God's eyes, what would you do differently? Let this episode inspire you to step into the fullness of who you are in Christ, embracing the gift of His love.
