In this episode, Pastor John S. Dickerson unpacks 2 Corinthians 5:17 and the powerful truth that in Christ, you are not simply “turning over a new leaf”—you are a new creation. The old life is gone. A new life has begun.

When you place your faith in Jesus, your identity changes. Though temptation and old habits may linger, they no longer define you. You are no longer a slave to sin. The question each day becomes: Will you live from your old identity—or your new one?

This message encourages you to anchor your self-talk in Scripture, declare your new identity in Christ, and rely on God’s power to live out the transformation He has already begun in you.
