Day 32 - Embracing Your True Identity: From Renting to Owning Your Life

In this episode of the Applied Faith Podcast, Tyler discusses the critical difference between renting and owning your life, particularly in the context of discipline and righteousness. He emphasizes the importance of not treating one's lifestyle as a temporary phase but instead, owning it fully. Citing the biblical story of Gideon from Judges chapter 6, Tyler speaks about the power of identity and how God sees us by our future potential rather than our past failures. The episode encourages listeners to adopt a 'declarative identity' by changing their mindset and language from 'trying' to 'being.' The challenge for day 32 is to identify areas where they feel like impostors and affirm their new positive identities out loud. Tyler concludes by encouraging listeners to stop renting their lives and fully embrace their new, empowered selves.
