What if your destiny isn’t about what you do for God, but what He does in you and for you?

This episode explores how grace radically shapes our destiny—not through performance, but through trust. Bill and Scott discuss how identity, humility, and influence are transformed when we receive God's view of us. They challenge listeners to stop fixing themselves and start receiving the life-changing truth of grace.

Topics Bill Thrall and Scott Boyd discuss in this episode: 

(00:03) Grace and Destiny

* Doing things for God is not the same as receiving from Him.

* Influence begins with how we see ourselves—either through shame or through God’s view.

(03:16) Humility and Transformation

* True humility is trusting what God is doing in you, not minimizing yourself.

* God wants to exalt us because we are saints, not sinners trying to perform.

(07:54) Strategic Plans vs. Divine Declarations

* God’s declaration of who we are is more powerful than incremental improvement.

* Our purpose begins with trusting that God's choice of us includes a calling.

(16:22) Influence That Earns Trust

* Our destiny includes earning people’s trust so they can receive our love.
