About this episode

Brian Tome discusses how struggles can shape one's identity in faith.

Peter was sifted. And if you follow Jesus, you will be too. But the struggle doesn't have to define you. It can be the exact thing God uses to refine you into what he wants you to be. This week, Brian Tome shows us what it means to live out the identity God has given to you. Recorded live at Crossroads Church in Cincinnati, Ohio.
