He has done so much for me and I know he can do so much for you!

In this episode Ashley Anderson and Kristie Guard delve into the profound theme of identity in Christ. They explore how women often define themselves by their roles, such as being a mother or a wife, rather than recognizing their true identity as children of God. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding one's identity in Christ, which leads to freedom from societal pressures and expectations. Through scriptural references, they discuss concepts of redemption, forgiveness, and the unconditional love of God, encouraging listeners to embrace their identity and calling in Christ.
Takeaways
Our identity should be rooted in Christ, not in our roles.
Identifying by roles can lead to exhaustion and confusion.
Understanding our identity in Christ changes our perspective.
We are chosen, holy, blameless, and adopted by God.
Forgiveness through Christ means we are free from sin.
God's love for us is unconditional and everlasting.
We are called to participate in God's purpose.
Our identity informs our purpose in life.
We must compare our beliefs about ourselves to God's Word.
Embracing our identity in Christ leads to true freedom.

Takeaways
I did not actually meet Jesus for myself until I was in my early thirties.
My salvation was nothing I did. He saw me, he sought me out.
The biggest thing he has taught me is that we all need Jesus and we all need each other.
The Christian walk is not an easy walk and God never intended us to walk this road alone.
If you continue to ask God for those friends, He will send them to you in His perfect timing.
I am by no means perfect. I'm not a theologian.
You will walk through one open door at a time.
Either God will bless this podcast or he will redeem it.
We may be mutually encouraged by each other's faith.
You have a place here. You have a seat at this table.
