In this heartfelt episode Dara speaks prophetically about how today’s school systems and culture teach young people to tie their worth to performance rather than their God‑given identity. She urges listeners to recognize each child’s unique design and to stop comparing value based on visibility or achievement.

She introduces a year‑long reset to help students and adults discover how their minds are wired, restore identity, and invites parents, educators, churches, and communities to serve together to change culture one child, one classroom, and one family at a time.

In this episode the host tackles the battle between truth and "lie-dentity" — false labels and narratives that keep us stuck. She explains how voices from schools, society, and past failures can shape our sense of worth and lead to fear, procrastination, and anxiety.

Rather than offering another productivity hack, she introduces a 2026 reset focused on seeing your true identity in God, reclaiming purpose, and replacing pressure with design. Listeners are invited to rewrite their internal story and live from God’s identity, not the world’s labels.

CHALLENEGE:

The challenge delivers daily scripture, reflection, and one simple step to help you reconnect with who you were created to be and move forward one small step at a time.
