Ep 45 - Series: Identity Unlocked - Pt 1

About This Series: This is Part 1 of our "Identity Unlocked" series. Over the next few episodes, we'll dive deep into what sonship really means, how to walk in it daily, and how to recognize when you're slipping back into orphan or slave thinking.

About This Episode:

Most Christians know the phrase "identity in Christ," but few actually walk in it. If you've been stuck in the same patterns of behavior despite trying everything to change, the problem isn't your effort—it's your identity.

In this episode, we expose the two false identities that war against believers: the orphan mindset and the slave mindset. Using the parable of the prodigal son in Luke 15, we reveal how these hidden operating systems drive your decisions, sabotage your blessings, and keep you from living in the freedom Christ died to give you.

You'll discover:

• ✓ Why behavior modification never works without identity transformation
• ✓ The signs you're living with an orphan or slave mindset
• ✓ How these false identities make you forfeit your God-given inheritance
• ✓ What it truly means to be a son or daughter of God
• ✓ How to break free from religious performance and striving

This isn't about trying harder—it's about believing who God says you are.
