Unlearning Self Help Series, Episode 2 Your brand is not your identity

In a world that tells us “your brand is everything,” it’s easy to start believing that who we are is wrapped up in what we create, post, or produce. But when your identity is tied to your platform, you’ll always feel pressure to perform. In this episode, Sam unpacks the lie that your brand defines you — and replaces it with the truth of God’s Word: your identity is not something you build, it’s something you receive.

Jesus already is. Through Scripture, personal reflection, and grace-filled truth, you’ll be invited to lay down the pressure to perform and pick up the peace of walking in your identity in Christ. ⸻ 📖 Key Scriptures: • Colossians 2:10 — “In Christ, you have been brought to fullness.” • John 15:5 — “Apart from Me, you can do nothing.” • 2 Corinthians 12:9 — “My grace is sufficient for you…”

Season 3 Episode 2 What is love? Or maybe more importantly, what isn’t love?

1 Corinthians 13:8 is my verse for today and what a great and very popular chapter of the Bible this is! I love that Paul not only lists out what love is, but he also makes note of what love isn’t…and that’s what resonated with me today.
