Today's conversation on Your True Identity is with Heather Wright, a trusted friend and Identity Coach on our team. Heather has been pursuing Jesus for over 30 years and has a heart to allow the challenges, failures, and victories of her life to become stepping stones and solutions for others. Join us to hear Heather's story of being raised in a legalistic religious culture, how she had no grid for relationships, and believed she was too bad to be a Christian. You'll hear how this mindset led her into a toxic, destructive relationship that left her abandoned with two small children, and how she fell apart and prayed a simple prayer for "help" that changed everything. Learn how the answer to her prayer guided her into a lifestyle of an unfolding revelation of God, giving her permission to just be, to rest, and let Him bring revelation. It is now her great delight to see people discover Christ in them - the hope of glory - and come into the fullest, freest expression of that.
