The more life we live the more we seem to struggle with purpose. You can’t help but wonder is this all there is? God never intended us to put all our value into our time here on earth. In this episode we will explore the places we think our purpose is supposed to come from and what the Bible says it should be.

In this part two episode of Grit for Glory, we wrap up our conversation on identity. We take a look into how our view of God determines the way we view ourselves and discuss how we can start uncovering false identities so that we can fully live in the freedom of Christ with our identity secure in Him.

Matthew 10:37

Many of us are walking around in broken identities unaware of who we are in Christ and the freedom found in Him. In part one of this episode of Grit for Glory we discuss how our identities are formed, how they have been broken, and what God’s word says about who we really are. Knowing and living in our true identity gives us freedom to live fully in who we are created to be so that we can fulfill the purposes God ordained for us long ago.

Do you ever feel like you're not measuring up compared to everyone else around you? In this episode of Grit for Glory we discuss how easy it is to lose our joy when we fall into the comparison trap. Sometimes comparison makes us feel better about ourselves and sometimes it makes us discontent with our lives. Either way,  it’s never good for our hearts. We share our personal struggles with comparison and some encouragement on how to leave the comparison trap behind.
