What if the struggle you’re facing isn’t about willpower… but about who you believe you are?

In this episode, we pour some coffee and step straight into the most important truth of your spiritual life: your identity.

Stephanie reveals how God bestows identity — He gives it as a gift — while the enemy tries to steal it with lies, labels, shame, or old stories that try to tell you who you are. You’ll learn the difference between your True Self (who God says you are) and your False Self (who fear tries to convince you to be)… and how knowing the difference is the very foundation of renewing your mind.

Through personal story, biblical truth, and powerful declarations, you’ll begin to understand why identity is the first place the enemy attacks — and the first place Jesus restores.

🌿 In This Episode, You’ll Hear: • Why identity is the core battlefield of the Christian life • The difference between your True Self and False Self • How perfectionism, labels, and personality tests can shape false identity • Why identity is bestowed — not earned, not achieved • 10 powerful identity declarations from Scripture • A simple practice to strengthen your identity this week
