What would happen if we could walk into any room bringing our identity, rather than getting our identity from it?   

Following up our episode on giving kids joy permission comes an episode on how to experience joy as a byproduct of walking daily with Jesus in our true identity. When we’re not walking in our true identity, we’ll get it from one of three places:

• what we have
• what we do
• or how we think other people see us.   

In this episode, Steve Petermeyer, a coach with Identity Exchange, joins us to talk about how we can know our true identity, identify when we’re believing a lie about who we are, and how to invite Jesus into telling us the truth.  

Steve also walks through questions we can ask in our faith communities to get us beyond small talk, go below the surface, and live out our unique identity. For example, what are you doing that God never asked you to do? Are there any lies that you’re believing? What is one fear you currently have?

If, as Steve says, “More is caught than taught,” when it comes to raising our children, imagine the implications of living out of our true identity as fathers and mothers.  

In this episode, Steve discusses:

• Why all external conflict is the result of internal conflict
• The two worldviews that influence our identity and how we relate to the world around us
• The two ways we act when we’re walking in our false self
• Four ways to walk with God more intimately, discover your identity, and live in your true self
• What it looks like to “remember” our identity as we walk with and pray to Him each day
• How to recognize an emotion, confess it to God, and ask Him what the truth about that emotion really is
• How we can disciple our children on how to hear from God
