This year, the “What’s the Word?” Podcast is centered on a single word: Identity. As daughters of God, there is so much to discover about who He says we are and what we’re empowered to do. But before we can fully step into that truth, we must lay aside the rose-colored glasses and courageously confront our past. This episode is where that journey begins.

Highlights:

• Exploring Identity in 2026
• God's Word is our source of truth
• From Book: I Am Who God Says I Am: Getting to the Heart of Your Identity
  • Chapter 1: You Are Mine
  • Identity Crisis
  • Kiss of Death
  • The Words of Life

Podcast Host: Alicia Terry is author of I Am Who God Says I Am: Getting the Heart of Your Identity (for women) and I Am Who God Says I Am And This is What I Know (for children).
