Who Am I? Created Before You Were Broken

About this episode

This episode discusses how one's identity is rooted in being created in God's image, rather than defined by failures or brokenness.

Your identity isn't defined by your failures or brokenness, but by your original design as someone created in God's image. Before there was shame, there was purpose. Before there was confusion, there was identity. Genesis reveals that humans uniquely bear God's image, capable of relationship with Him and reflecting His character. Shame makes us withdraw from God's presence, but redemption restores what was lost from the beginning. Instead of introducing yourself by your failures, remember what Scripture says: you are a child of God, chosen, loved, forgiven, and created with purpose. Don't let shame keep you from embracing your true identity in Christ.
