What defines you? Father. Husband. American. Republican. Pastor. Our culture is drowning in identity labels.

In this message from 1 Peter 2:4–10, Nathan digs into one of the most powerful identity passages in all of Scripture and asks the question we all need to wrestle with: Which identity gets the highest place on your flagpole?

Speaking to believers who had lost everything — family, community, cultural identity — for following Jesus, the Apostle Peter delivers words that were meant to fill an empty cup. But Nathan challenges us with a different problem: what happens when your cup is overflowing with too many identities, and Jesus is asking to be first among all of them?

In this episode you'll discover:

• Why you are the temple — not the building you worship in
• What it actually means to be a "living stone" and a "royal priesthood"
• How your identity directly shapes your behavior and your choices
• Why the whole rest of 1 Peter hinges on the decision you make in chapter 2
• What it looks like to stop inviting people to church — and start being the church

This one will challenge you, convict you, and remind you of who God says you are.
