In this heart-filled episode, Paul, Amber, and Joey open a letter to their children—and to anyone carrying false labels or wounds from their past. Through stories, scripture, and soul-deep reflections, they walk through how identity is not something you perform for… it’s something you receive from Christ.
🔑 Key Verse: Galatians 2:20
“My old self has been crucified with Christ… now Christ lives in me.”
✨ Highlights:
Why labels from your past don’t get the final word
How to break agreements with lies you believed
Writing a new mission for your life
What it means to reflect Christ—not perform for others
A family’s legacy of identity and truth

Are you still listening to the old voices of shame, fear, and comparison? Or are you stepping into the new identity Christ has given you?
In this episode, Paul and Joey open up about their personal journeys from old labels to God-given purpose. Inspired by 2 Corinthians 5:17, they challenge listeners to stop digging up what God already buried—and start leading from the truth of who He says they are.
They also introduce the "Max Effort Mindset," a call to action for men ready to stop coasting and start committing in key areas like faith, family, fitness, and work.
Take the Weekly Dare: Pick one area of life and commit to full-out effort—especially when it's hard.
Your past doesn’t define you. Your identity in Christ does.
