You have divinity in your DNA, and that’s no April Fool’s joke! Yet most Christians live unaware of this mind-blowing reality. Today, we dive into a moment when Paul walked into a church and was shocked to find... mere humans. He rebuked the Corinthians, not for being bad, but for being merely human when they carried God’s divine nature. The gospel isn’t a behavior management program; it’s a radical exchange, the old for the new. It’s a co-crucifixion and a co-resurrection. Sin isn’t about bad behavior but about mistaken identity. You’re not a sinner. You’re a saint infused with God’s divine nature. Walking in this truth isn’t prideful—it glorifies the One who gave you his very own spirit. So today, you can boldly declare: I have divinity in my DNA!

Ever wish you could wake up free from your past mistakes, shame, and guilt? The good news is—you can! In Christ, you’re not just a slightly improved version of yourself—you’re an entirely new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17). In this first episode of a special series on identity, Michele unpacks the revolutionary truth of your new creation identity, diving into the Greek word kainos to reveal why this transformation is more than a mere spiritual makeover. This week, we’ll explore personality types, spiritual gifts, self-awareness, and emotional intelligence—all through the lens of who you truly are in Christ. So, if you’re tired of striving for some distant sense of worthiness, let Romans 6:11 remind you: your old self is dead and buried. Spiritual growth isn’t about earning a new identity—it’s about aligning with the one that’s already yours. That’s real freedom!

Watch the video of St. Patrick’s Breastplate here! 

Cutting through the noise of green beer and shamrocks lies the extraordinary life story of St. Patrick — an enslaved British teenager who found his faith in captivity, escaped through divine guidance, and later returned to Ireland as a missionary priest. Patrick’s life was marked by miraculous power, including eyewitness accounts of raising 33 people from the dead! He left us his “Lorica” or “Breastplate,” a timeless shield-of-faith prayer for spiritual protection that is still recited widely today. What if you prayed St. Patrick’s Breastplate every day for 30 days? How could it transform your life in Christ? Discover the real meaning behind today’s holiday, and share the story of St. Patrick with someone who has never heard it!

Spiritual breakthroughs rarely happen immediately — just ask John Wimber, who prayed for 10 months before witnessing a healing, or Todd White, who persisted for over four years before seeing results. Their stories reveal a powerful truth: we sometimes have to engage in spiritual resistance training. Just as muscles grow through resistance, our faith can be strengthened through doubts, delays, and disappointments. Even Jesus prayed twice to fully heal a blind man, showing that sometimes miracles unfold step by step. So, if you feel stuck, don’t give up — you’re building spiritual muscle! Declare this: “I am getting stronger every day in the spirit and I won’t back down.” Share this episode with someone battling discouragement, and let’s push through resistance together.

Words shape our reality. Today’s episode dives into the powerful connection between spiritual transformation and neuroplasticity, showing how speaking God’s truth about us rewires our brains to think more like Christ. What if the words you’re speaking aren’t true of the real you? Romans 12:2 calls us to renew our minds, not by clinging to old self-perceptions, but by embracing heaven’s perspective. As Bill Johnson says, “You know your mind is renewed when the impossible looks logical.” Ready to rewire? Start with this: “I am deeply and completely loved by God, just as I am, and there’s nothing I can do about it.” Speak it. Believe it. Because it’s true!

Today, we dive into the supernatural power of words and how they shape reality. From Zechariah’s silence to prevent doubt from derailing God’s plan to God’s “Let there be light” in Genesis 1, words have always been vessels of creative power. As Dan McCollam says, “Your experience will rise to the level of your declaration.” Speaking faith-filled words isn’t about ignoring reality but aligning your speech with heaven’s perspective — rewiring your brain toward faith through neuroplasticity. When you declare life, you actively participate in God’s creative process, transforming your mind and circumstances. Ready to unleash that power? Your words are more powerful than you think!

Your words shape spiritual reality. Every self-condemning statement or expression of doubt isn’t just frustration — it’s power in action. The story of Zechariah reveals this truth: when he doubted Gabriel’s promise of a son, God silenced him for nine months, not as punishment but as protection, preventing his words from hindering God’s divine plan. In contrast, Mary embraced her miracle with faithful words, saying, “Let it be to me according to your word.” Proverbs reminds us, “Life and death are in the power of the tongue.” Speak faith, and you align with heaven; speak doubt, and you resist it.

Step into a transformative conversation that connects the dots between perfectionism and procrastination. While many of us strive for perfection, we often find that the very standards we set can lead to delays and avoidance. In today's lighthearted discussion, Michele points out how perfectionism and procrastination are linked in a vicious cycle, and then she offers two simple strategies to break that cycle.
