In this powerful message, I share a word the Lord gave me titled “Wrestling with the Tension of Becoming.” If you remember we shared on the  ⁨@EatDontCompete⁩  podcast a teaching on the same title, but let's just say this was a bit more in-depth.

Drawing from Genesis 32:24–30, we follow Jacob’s wrestle with God—his identity shift, his name change, and the tension that shaped his destiny. This message is for anyone who feels the weight of transition, transformation, spiritual tension, or the struggle between who you were and who God is calling you to be.

I walk through:

I also share my own origin story—my childhood, abandonment, adoption, rebellion, endurance—and how God used every tension in my life to shape the call on my life. This message is both instructional and testimonial, a reminder that God still uses the least likely and builds miracles from messy beginnings. If you’ve ever wrestled with identity, calling, surrender, or transformation… this message will speak to you. God is still changing names, shifting destinies, and calling His people to become everything He ordained.
