In a culture that measures our "worth by our work and identity by our productivity", the idea of rest might seem counterintuitive. But constantly living that way can leave us feeling empty and exhausted, and pull us further away from God.

In this episode we'll chat with our new friend, Hester Christensen as she shares her journey of grounding her identity in Christ by resting in God. You'll be encouraged and refreshed as we dive into scripture to remember who God is and His heart for us.

If you've been feeling burned out lately, this episode is an open invitation to sit with us for a bit, experience God's love through His Word, and rest in Him as his beloved daughter.

She is an author and speaker, and has served in pastoral ministry for 30 years within the areas of youth, women's and discipleship ministries. She received her bachelor's in Christian Education at Boise Bible College and Bible and her Master's in BIble and Theology from Lincoln Christian University. Hester authored "Fake? Living Christlike in a Counterfeit Culture, a 6-week bible study, as well as co-authoring Greater Than a Superhero.

What does it truly mean to know who you are in Christ? Join us for an inspiring conversation with missionary Lynsey Horton as she shares how embracing her identity in Jesus has shaped her calling, strengthened her faith, and sustained her through both the joys and challenges of ministry.

In this episode, Lynsey shares how identity in Christ is a universal longing that she has witnessed in cultures around the world, and how those deepest longings are ultimately fulfilled in Christ alone.

Whether you're serving in ministry, discerning God's calling for your life, or simply seeking a deeper understanding of your identity in Christ, this conversation will encourage you to rest in the truth that your value is not found in what you do, but in whose you are.

At some time or another we have all fallen into the habit of doubting our worth and second-guessing who we are and who God has created us to be. We may subconsciously shrink ourselves or downplay the unique person God made us to be in order to fit in. We may question the gifts He's given us or even wonder if He truly loves us the way His Word says He does.

But Scripture reminds us of the unchanging truth of God's love and the freedom we find in Him to be who He created us to be. In today's episode, we'll dive into one of our favorite verses in the Bible, and be reminded just how much God cherish us. We hope you'll be encouraged and empowered as you discover that the person God created you to be, is exactly who He can use to bless others and grow His Kingdom.
