What defines who you are – and what happens when that gets shaken?
In this message, we’re talking about identity. Not the kind you craft for social media or the version shaped by your past, politics, or paycheck – but the identity God has already spoken over your life. When the world says you have to prove yourself, God says, “You’re already Mine.” In a culture full of labels and pressure, how do we hold on to the truth of who we really are? And how do we live it out in a way that helps others see Jesus through us?
This message is part of our Unshakable series, where we’re learning how to stand firm in a world that keeps shifting. Watch the message and reflect on what it means to carry an identity that doesn’t move when the world does.
