Mind Bully

209. Who Am I at 30? Finding Identity in Christ


Listen Later

Turning 30 isn’t just a birthday—it’s a milestone of faith, growth, and clarity. In this Mind Bully Podcast special, recorded on his birthday in Benin City, Nigeria, Norense Odiase reflects on the highs and lows of his 20s, the lessons learned through loss and resilience, and the vision he carries into this next decade.

From basketball courts to keynote stages, from moments of suicidal thoughts overseas to the joy of building a faith-driven platform, Norense shares raw truths about identity, reinvention, and walking boldly in God’s calling. With his cousin asking the hard questions, this episode becomes an honest and inspiring conversation about legacy, relationships, faith, and what it means to serve others authentically.

Whether you’re 20, 30, or beyond, this is your reminder: growth doesn’t make you less of yourself—it makes you more like yourself.
