A transformed life grows out of a renewed way of thinking.

In Christ, the old is gone—and everything is made new.

In Season 2, Episode 91 of Intentional Living by Design, we focus on the powerful declaration of Scripture: “If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation.” This verse is more than a comforting promise—it is a life-defining truth. When we place our faith in Jesus, our identity, our past, and our future are forever changed.

In this episode, we’ll explore what it truly means to be in Christ, how our new identity reshapes the way we see ourselves and our past, and why living as a new creation requires both faith and daily surrender. You’ll be encouraged to release old labels, past failures, and lingering shame, and to fully embrace who God says you are now in Christ.

If you’ve ever struggled to believe you are truly new, truly forgiven, or truly changed, this episode will remind you that your life is no longer defined by who you were—but by who you now are in Christ.

What we release into God’s hands is never truly lost—it is multiplied, redeemed, and restored by His grace.

In this episode, we’ll explore what the Bible teaches about surrendering our lives fully to Christ, how God responds to a yielded heart, and why obedience and trust always lead to spiritual reward. You’ll be encouraged to see surrender not as weakness, but as the doorway to freedom, peace, transformation, and deeper intimacy with God.

If you’ve been holding tightly to something God has been asking you to release, this episode will remind you that God never asks for surrender without also promising reward—and that what awaits on the other side of obedience is always worth it.

God never calls you out of the tomb just to leave you standing in the doorway—He calls you into new life.

In Season 2, Episode 89 of Intentional Living by Design, we focus on the powerful moment when God calls you out of the tomb—just as Jesus called Lazarus from death into life. There are seasons when God speaks directly into places that feel dead, buried, or forgotten, and His voice alone has the power to awaken what we thought was lost forever.

In this episode, we’ll explore what Scripture teaches about God’s calling voice, how obedience unlocks resurrection movement, and why stepping out of the tomb often requires courage, trust, and faith. You’ll be encouraged to listen for God’s call, to rise when He speaks, and to walk forward even when the grave clothes of the old life still cling.

If you’ve been lingering in a place of fear, delay, or spiritual stagnation, this episode will remind you that when God calls your name, the tomb must release you—and new life always follows His voice.

What God has set you free from no longer has the authority to define you.

In Season 2, Episode 88 of Intentional Living by Design, we focus on the liberating truth of freedom from the grave of the past.

If you’ve been haunted by your past, weighed down by regret, or struggling to believe you are truly free, this episode will remind you that the stone has been rolled away—and you are no longer called to live where God has already declared new life.

New life in Christ begins when we release what no longer belongs to who we are becoming.

In Season 2, Episode 87 of Intentional Living by Design, we focus on the essential and freeing step of letting go of the old life. When we follow Jesus, we are not just improving our lives—we are being made new. Yet holding on to old habits, mindsets, wounds, and identities can quietly hinder the transformation God desires to bring.

In this episode, we’ll explore what Scripture teaches about putting off the old self and embracing the new life God has given us in Christ. We’ll look at why letting go can be difficult, how the past can try to pull us backward, and how God empowers us to walk forward in freedom and obedience.

If you’ve been feeling torn between who you were and who God is calling you to be, this episode will remind you that letting go of the old is not loss—it is the pathway to the fullness of life found in Christ.

True discipleship always begins with surrender.

In Season 2, Episode 86 of Intentional Living by Design, we focus on the powerful and challenging truth of the call to die to self.

If you’ve been wrestling with control, obedience, or fully yielding your life to God, this episode will remind you that the call to die to self is not the end of life—it is the doorway to true, abundant life in Christ.
