Have you ever found yourself trying to earn what God already gave you? Love, validation, peace — even permission to rest?

In this week’s episode of Thick Girl Theology, Mia Deneen explores the tension between earning and learning through the lens of identity. From a late-night conversation about being “tired,” to a deep revelation about Jeremiah 1:5, Mia reminds us that we had purpose before we had a body — and that identity isn’t something we create; it’s something we receive.

Inside this episode:

✨ Why striving stops your spiritual flow

👑 How the world teaches us to compete to be chosen

💧 The truth about hunger, fullness, and soul nourishment

💜 What it means to carry God’s image — and rest in His identity for you

Whether you’re tired of performing, searching for peace, or just need a holy reminder that your worth was settled long before you were born — this episode will meet you right where you are and fill you back up again.
