The Most Important Thing about Us
It’s been quite a few months since my last podcast episode, but thanks to the encouragement I received during a few recent conversations, I’m back at it! Today, we’re chatting about identity. It’s such an important topic, and 20 minutes sure can’t do it justice. BUT we’ll give it a shot, at least to get started.
I reference a couple resources in the episode, so if you want to dig in further, listen to “Jesus Shows that God and Humans Are a Good Match” on The Biblical Mind or read A.W. Tozer’s book The Knowledge of the Holy.
Here’s a brief overview of the episode:
- A personal update and a comment on Memorial Day
- A couple quotes about identity that have inspired me lately
- A story about my own identity crisis in my teen years and what it taught me
- Some final reflections on how we can find and build a strong identity in Christ

You may have heard people say, "You'll be judged by your actions, not your intentions." Well, that's only half true. Here's what I like to say: "People will judge you solely by your actions, ONLY IF they don't know your intentions."
I've discovered a key to effective leadership and healthy relationships, and that is STATING YOUR INTENTIONS EARLY AND OFTEN. Listen to learn more and get my top three tips for stating your intentions.

The Story Behind Landing My Dream Job & What's Happened Since
It’s been a while since I’ve done a podcast. This is the unfiltered me, and by that I mean: deciding to do this in two minutes, recording myself on the memos app of my iPhone and uploading it immediately, unedited. But I’m here to stay.
