A lot of our issues are a result of us not knowing who we are and who's we are. In this episode, I look at 1Peter 2:9 and talk about how our identity is formed by our community, but is also given to us by God. We don't give ourselves an identity, God does. This removes a lot of the confusion in our day regarding identity.

Join me as we dig in and hear God's perspective on identity.
