Identity Advantage with Daphne Delay

We really want to know! What is Christmas to you? When you think about Christmas, or wish someone Merry Christmas, what do you think of?

In this episode of Identity Advantage, Daphne and Angie discuss how we've somehow put Christmas in one category and Easter in another. But the Bible says Jesus was born to save people from their sins (Matthew 1:21). So how beautiful is it that God had the forethought of what we could only see in retrospect?

Tune in and share in the comments what Christmas means to you!

This week on Identity Advantage, we were excited to have Janell Rardon, Life Coach and Author of Overcoming Hurtful Words, in our studio!

In her book, she writes: [endorsement cite="Janell Rardon"]"Without even knowing it, the stage became a foster parent of sorts. Feeling right at home under the bright lights, my identity formed under the influence of the three A's: affirmation, approval, and the addictive applause of others."[/endorsement]

Those three A's have tried to define many identities, including our own! Her new book is available this week in stores and at her website. Go get your copy today and enjoy our conversation!

Are prayers ever really forgotten? If God keeps all our tears in a bottle (Psalm 56:8), don't you think He keeps our prayers in remembrance too?

In this episode of Identity Advantage, Daphne and Angie talk about those prayers given to God initially like a seed of hope, but then seemingly forgotten over time -- or were they? It brings up the question of: how does a seed grow? And, do seeds grow dormant?

All this and much more is answered in this very encouraging conversation. Tune in!

"Don't you realize that you become the slave of whatever you choose to obey?" 

This was Paul's question to the Romans. And it's our discussion this week on Identity Advantage. Daphne and Angie talk about being a slave of sin or a slave of righteousness because there's not a third or fourth option. We are one or the other. But when we realize the choice we have, and we choose correctly, the Bible says we become "useful for the Master, prepared for every good work."

Here's the question we answer on this week's podcast: is sharing your faith an offensive move or a defensive move? Maybe, like us, you've never thought about that?

In this episode of Identity Advantage, Daphne and Angie have special guest Pastor Ben Delay share his recent experience of ministering in China and how this question or thought even came up. There seems to be a "western" way of evangelizing that may be hindering us from sharing our faith more fully.

You will be blessed by this discussion!

Jesus said, "Get behind Me, Satan! You are in My way [an offense and a hindrance and a snare to Me]..." (Matthew 16:23, Amplified). In another translation, He said, "Get away from Me, Satan! You are a dangerous trap to me..." (NLT). What was He talking about? What could possibly have been the most dangerous trap that even the Son of God recognized it for what it was? In this episode, Daphne and Angie address the issue of self-pity and the risk of falling prey to the same temptation Jesus faced. Peter had no idea that his simple suggestion would cause the reaction he received from Jesus, but there was a very good reason why Jesus responded the way He did. The bottom line however is, having a good understanding of our identity in Christ can actually become a reservoir the Holy Spirit will use in such times (that all of us will be subjected to at some time or another).

What Are You Allowing?

You're probably familiar with the story of Moses, Pharaoh, and the plagues of Egypt. But there's an often overlooked portion of this dialogue between Moses and Pharaoh that describes a lot of people today.

In this episode of Identity Advantage, Daphne and Angie discuss why Pharaoh put off until tomorrow the deliverance he could've had today? And this made us ask ourselves, what are we allowing (or tolerating) in our life that we could've already dealt with and been done with a long time ago?!

Great episode this week!

This was a question we recently received. More like a statement from someone who had spent most of their "prayer time" asking God to help others and then realized they could go to God themselves.

In this episode of Identity Advantage, Daphne and Angie talk about praying for your needs and approaching God in faith. Charles Spurgeon wisely said, "Asking is the rule of the kingdom." And we'll add: and it's available to all!

People in general fall into two categories: (1) those who don't quite know what condemnation is, or (2) those who know all too well what it is and hate how it effects them.

In this episode of Identity Advantage, Daphne and Angie address the topic that plagued them for far too long too -- condemnation -- what sin uses for it's evil purposes against believers. If you've had any question about this topic, or more specifically, desire to know how to identify it and discern the truth concerning the devil's use of it, YOU NEED TO TUNE IN.

Romans 8:1, "There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus..."

If we were traveling, you'd understand the concept of "almost there" and the craziness of staying in "almost there" mode versus eventually arriving at your destination. So apply that to life...

In this episode of Identity Advantage, Daphne and Angie have a GREAT conversation about faith friends, temptation, the bait of Satan, and the power of allowing the Word of God to examine you! This week's podcast was so rich in how-tos and why we respond certain ways.

If you've ever felt stuck, you need to listen in!
