The Power of Vertical Identity: Confidence, Consistency, and Calling


Listen Later

Are you chasing what you “care about… or living out what you’re truly called to do?

In this powerful episode, Pastor Jonathan Perry reveals the life-changing difference between horizontal identity (shaped by people, opinions, and circumstances that constantly shift) and vertical identity (the unshakable identity God spoke over you before you were born).

You’ll discover:


• Why most people live like chameleons, changing who they are depending on who’s around them

• The massive difference between caring (compassion that comes and goes) and calling (divine assignment that pulls you for a lifetime)

• Real-life stories—including Jonathan’s 33-year journey pastoring the same city through discouragement and opposition

• Biblical examples from Nehemiah, Paul, Moses, David, Mary & Martha that bring this truth to life

• 4 practical steps to finally discover and step into YOUR God-given calling

If you’ve ever felt stuck, confused about your purpose, or ready to quit when things get hard—this episode will give you the clarity, confidence, and courage to lock into the identity and assignment that will outlast every temporary passion.

Stop collecting baggage from things you used to care about.


Start building the eternal legacy you were created for.
