In a culture seeking self-definition and comparison, how do we find our true identity? Join host Terri as she sits down with Beth Steffaniak—pastor's wife, biblical counselor, and Bible study author—for an honest conversation about the exhausting cycle of measuring ourselves against others and the peace found in letting Christ define who we are.

Beth shares her personal journey of getting "sidetracked by the marketing machine" and how she learned to build her identity on the solid foundation of Christ. Together, they explore why that gnawing feeling of discontent might actually be God's way of redirecting our hearts toward Him. And what it practically looks like to live as someone who is deeply loved by God.

This conversation offers hope for anyone tired of the comparison trap and ready to experience the peace, love, and security that comes from knowing your true identity in Jesus.

You'll discover how to root in God’s unconditional love and get specific Bible verses that anchor your identity in Christ.

Here's her blog post on identity in Christ with Bible verses.
