    Ep. 127: Identity, Silence, and the Power of Trusting God
    Sep 3 2025
    In this week’s Founder Collective conversation, the table leans into a deeply human and faith-rooted dialogue about identity, listening, and the moments when silence speaks louder than words. Together, founders and leaders wrestle with what it means to carry labels, walk through fractured seasons, and trust God when His ways feel unfathomable.From practical stories of everyday encounters to profound biblical truths, the discussion highlights how our words and actions (or lack thereof) shape influence, reveal character, and invite God’s presence into our leadership. Whether you’re navigating conflict, stepping into new territory, or simply craving clarity, this episode offers timely encouragement: you don’t have to respond to every voice, label, or distraction—your identity rests in Christ alone.Key TakeawaysWhy silence and listening often position us more powerfully than constant speaking.The danger of living under labels that others assign vs. walking in your God-given identity.How fractured seasons can become spaces for God’s deepest healing and reset.Practical stories of stewarding influence in small, everyday encounters.The difference between trying to understand God’s decisions and simply trusting Him.A call to walk upright through trials, knowing others are watching your example.Timestamps13:32 – Quick to speak vs. slow to listen: a pastor’s hard-won lesson.17:25 – Walking upright in trials and reflecting Christ in conflict.21:23 – The silent witness of your actions and character.27:04 – Responding to who you are in Christ, not who you used to be.32:33 – Seasons, rewiring, and God’s tender presence in hardship.39:39 – Identity as the product of what’s been done to us, for us, and by us.47:23 – Silent actions that glorify God more than words.51:12 – Allowing God to “reset broken bones” for true healing.59:01 – The power of the simplest prayer: “Help me, God.”1:06:30 – Romans 11 and the call to trust rather than understand.1:12:12 – Living as a messenger: saying yes to God’s small promptings.Quotables“If we could really go back and look at the 33 years of Jesus’ life, it’s the moments where there was no word spoken that spoke the loudest.”“Identity is the product of what’s been done to us, for us, and by us—but Christ redefines all three.”“Stop trying to do the impossible—understanding God—and live in what is possible: trusting Him.”“How you live your life will determine not just what people say about you when you’re not in the room, but whether they defend you when you’re not there.”Scriptures MentionedProverbs 20:12 — “Ears to hear and eyes to see—the Lord has made them both.”Matthew 6:7 — Warnings against “babbling” in prayer.Romans 11:33 — God’s unfathomable decisions and ways.Join the conversation at The Founder Collective Table.
