Hearing from God is the best way to learn about ourselves.

But, it is often confused with New Age ideologies and compared to New Thought, creating tension with Christians and disconnecting us from the One Who designed them with intention and purpose and has been encouraging communication with us from the beginning!

In this conversation, Bob Hamp and I dive deeper into the concept of identity and how it shapes our lives and relationships. Bob asserts that our early life experiences significantly influence how we perceive ourselves and others. It's our perception that often guides our experiences, and the weight of expectations can be the very thing disconnecting us from those we love, including God and ourselves.

Bob Hamp is well-versed in this conversation and his own experience of exploring identity. He is an author and speaker, a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and business consultant. He has worked with a range of organizations and individuals to help maximize functioning. Bob emphasizes operating from core identity and recognizing systems issues as the key to each person living and producing at their highest level. His practices integrate a unique combination of family systems theory, neuroscience and communication models, which allows for a focus on both individual growth and organizational change.

There is much to discover and explore through the lens of hearing from God to help us move through limitations into eternal Truth through the Holy Spirit to live out our True Identities with purpose and intention.

This episode is about the multifaceted nature of identity, with the emphasis being - it is not solely defined by external opinions, past experiences, or roles in life. Instead, true identity is rooted in understanding whose we are—our relationship with our Creator. Through biblical references and personal insights, listeners are encouraged to rise above labels and personal failures, embracing their identity as beloved children of God. The discussion highlights the importance of recognizing God's pursuit of us and the transformative power of His love in shaping our true selves.

In this conversation we explore the following truths:

• You are not defined by what others say about you.
• Your past does not determine your identity.
• Your actions do not define who you are.
• Your roles in life are not your entire identity.
• You are created to be a child of God.
