786 - Identity Is Discovered, Not Achieved

✅ FREE “QUIT-PORN” CASE STUDY VIDEO: Learn the system that has helped HUNDREDS of men around the world realize their potential, restore their relationships, and reconnect with God.
One of the most tragic things in the culture today is that so many of us think that our identity is something we have to achieve. Something we get from our performance. But as Christians, you and I need to remember that our identity is given to us already as believers in Christ. It's not about achieving it...it's about discovering it. We all have an infinitely full spiritual "bank account", but we need to constantly grow in how much we can access it.

3:21 The subject you just can't run away from...identity
4:34 What it actually means to be a "new creation"
5:58 Discover your identity, don't achieve it

✅ FREE “QUIT-PORN” CASE STUDY VIDEO: Learn the system that has helped HUNDREDS of men around the world realize their potential, restore their relationships, and reconnect with God.
Time to open up a can of worms. On the one hand, sexual sin is equal with other sins insofar as they fall short of God's perfection. However, I'm going to dive into 1 Corinthians 6 with you to show that sexual sin actually IS worse than other sins, and hopefully encourage you to walk in freedom and honour the living God by treating your body as the temple He deserves.
