The Fearless Identity Podcast

Last weekend was Father's Day; we're taking some time to look at what kind of father God is. Some key points: Most of us are going through life very unaware of how loved we are. God created the world so that everything in it's pure form is meant to show us what he is like. The Trinity models family to us. Earthly fathers are never perfect, but they are a picture that God intends to use to show us...

I’ve been thinking about prayer recently, specifically the verse in I Thes. 5:17 that says, “Pray without ceasing.” I’m likely thinking and asking about this because there are a few areas of my life that I find myself constantly talking with God about. What is prayer? It is conversation with God. It is an exchange zone. It is direct access to God. God is teaching me things about the exchange zone....

The word "abide" has been on my heart recently. Abide - to remain; continue; stay “As you live in union with me as your source, fruitfulness will stream from within you - but when you live separated from me, you are powerless.” John 15:5b “The Son is unable to do anything from himself or through his own initiative. I only do the work that I see the Father doing, for the Son does the same work as h...

Have you ever been ready to walk into a room and before you did, just known someone was there — not because you saw them, but because your stomach dropped and dread hit you? Even without seeing them? There was a season of my life that this happened quite regularly to me, but it wasn’t God showing me things. It was a spirit of fear that was controlling me. Today I’m sharing a middle school story of...

A couple weeks ago, I went to a women’s retreat that was so good and challenging and refreshing - all the things at once, and what I've been going back to the most since then is what I heard on wrestling from Lindsey Tedder. I'm sharing with you what I've been processing since then. “Wrestling is the moment of tension when God exposes how what I’ve been depending on is no longer going to work.” Wh...

"I will thrive no matter what happens." -quote by Steve Backlund that I've come back to for many years Thriving is the opposite of surviving. The apostle Paul is a great example of thriving in any situation. Phil. 4:11-13 “I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I...

It's Prom Week! Lots of dreaming, planning, and shopping has been happening the last weeks, and all of it made me think of the celebration God is planning for us. Am I as intentional in prepping for that celebration as we are for prom? Matt. 25:1-13 2 mindsets - Intention & Apathy Pro. 29:18 “where there is no vision, people perish” Hosea 4:6 “my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge” Mat...

Today I was encouraged by Phil. 2:13, “It is God who is working in you.” Anyone else ever wonder if he really is making any headway on what he's doing in you? “God will continually revitalize you, implanting within you the passion to do what pleases him.” TPT “...live in responsive obedience…Be energetic in your life of salvation, reverent and sensitive before God. That energy is God’s energy, an...

We're wrapping up the personal responsibility series today by asking the question "Who do you want to be?" My personal story with this question and why it's become so important to me James 1:6,8 - “The one who doubts is like the surging sea, driven and tossed by the wind…double-minded and unstable in all his ways.” Matt. 7:24-27 - Jesus' teaching on the 2 foundations, sand vs. rock. 2 Cor. 10:5 “…...

Welcome to my favorite episode yet! I got to have a guest, one of my favorite people, on the show with me this week. She's awesome and tells us the story of her life over the last 2 years and how God has showed up BIG in her life. We talk about how faithful God is, how he has THE BEST ideas, and how he's proven to be so worthy of our trust. Most of us are looking for a breakthrough somewhere in ou...

Most times when we hear the phrase ‘personal responsibility,’ we think of guilt, blame, or pressure. But what if personal responsibility is actually one of the most freeing truths we could embrace? Joseph — Responsibility in Unfair Circumstances (Gen. 37-41) Joseph had every reason to become a victim. He worked with excellence, stayed faithful, and didn't grow bitter. Joseph recognized that his ch...

Most of us want change in our lives. We want more peace, more growth, more breakthroughs. But there’s one thing that often stands between us and those things—and it’s the thing we most resist- looking into the mirror. Adam & Eve — Deflecting Responsibility & Blaming Instead Blame looks backward. Responsibility looks forward. King David — Owning His Sin Our breakthroughs often start where o...

Why the small step you’re overlooking might be the key to your breakthrough In this episode, we take a look at stories in the Bible of how God takes small things and creates big results from them.

In this episode, we unpack how our identity impacts our prayers, and I may float the possibility that we pray immature prayer at times! 2 Peter 1:3 states: "His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence.” We have everything we need to be victorious in our lives. He said he’s made everythi...

Early 2025 was a difficult and challenging season for me. I process what all was happening in my life, how I felt about it, and what God taught me in it. *Key takeaway Seasons of intensity and pressure are hard, but it's important to stay present and in peace through them. *Truths to remember Esther 4:14 "Who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this?” Romans 8:28...

In this episode, we're talking about being yoked with Christ, what that means, and how it will impact our lives. "My yoke is easy." - Jesus in Matt. 11:30 Anxiety is the opposite of trusting God. Anxiety comes when we don't know who we are in Christ or who he is for us. What does it take to shake my confidence, my trust, in God? How quickly do I lose my focus and try to take control? "My people ar...

In this episode, I look at two stories, one from the Bible and one from my own life, that show how important it is to live with our minds anchored in God's promises, then I draw a few parallels that show some surprising details about miracles. As you passionately seek his kingdom, above all else, he will supply your needs. So don’t ever be afraid, dearest friends! Your loving Father joyously gives...

In this episode, we’re going to look at a quote I heard years ago and what I’ve learned from it over the years. I'll tell you a story from my own life of how I implemented what I've learned from it. Key Takeaway - Every decision we make is rooted in either love or fear. Our focus determines which one it will be. Truths to remember this week - "The Lord is my Shepherd; I lack nothing ." Psalm 23 "I...

In this episode I tell you a story of how I learned to face my fear and take action in spite of it. I had literally run away from this fear in the past but was in a position with no great options; so I faced my fear and did what needed to be done afraid. I also tell you what I saw in my life as a direct result of not running from my fear. Key Takeaways: What we focus on grows. Taking action will d...

I answer questions that I received from some of you - What was the process of starting a podcast? Was it a new idea or something you've been thinking about for a while? What made "the summer of hell" the summer of hell? I also tell you several things I learned from both of these experiences that I hope might help and encourage you if you are experiencing similar questions and circumstances.

In this episode I tell you about myself, how my relationship with God developed, and the Summer of Hell and how it pushed me into a much deeper, more personal revelation of God. I tell you about how knowing truth in my head was very different from experiencing truth in my heart and how my thoughts and beliefs changed drastically because of it. Key takeaways - True change starts in our beliefs. Kno...
