In today’s episode, I want to sit with you and reflect on something deeply meaningful: the accusation that led to Jesus’ death — His bold declaration that God was His Father. As we explore identity together, this moment in Scripture invites us to look closely at who Jesus understood Himself to be, and what that means for who we are.

We’ll walk through several powerful passages where Jesus’ identity was questioned, doubted, and attacked by religious and political leaders. Yet through every accusation, He remained steady, rooted, and secure in the truth spoken over Him by the Father. His actions flowed from His identity, and His identity was anchored in love.

As we reflect on Jesus’ confidence in His origin and purpose, I want to gently guide you toward your own identity in God. You are not defined by others’ opinions, by your past, or by your performance. Just as Jesus lived from the Father’s affirmation, you too are invited to see yourself through God’s eyes — chosen, loved, and called.

Here are a few truths we’ll lean into together:

• Your identity is not shaped by what others say — it’s shaped by what God has spoken over you.
• Condemnation from people does not have the authority to redefine who you are in Christ.
• Your calling and anointing flow from grace, not performance.
• A life rooted in God’s identity naturally produces behavior that reflects His goodness.

Together, we’ll explore how identity shapes behavior, how grace shapes our walk, and how knowing who we are empowers us to live with clarity and courage. My hope is that as you listen, you’ll feel encouraged, grounded, and reminded of the truth: you belong to God, and that changes everything.
