Welcome back to Faithfully Thinking: Out Loud.

It has been a minute.

Life has required a pause — some significant transitions, some unexpected circumstances, and a few technical hiccups along the way.

We’re still working through a couple of those technical pieces, so if this episode sounds a little simpler than usual, that’s why.

But we’re here.

And I hope to be fully back on track in the near future.

In the meantime, we’re not waiting for perfect conditions to talk about what matters.

This Lenten season, we’re focusing on identity.

Because before the wilderness… there was a declaration.

Before the battle… there was belonging.

If you’ve been living like you’re on spiritual probation, this episode is for you.

Let’s settle identity — and stand accordingly.
