In this follow-up to their previous discussion, Pastor Brandon and Pastor Q explore another crucial aspect of identity: why we can’t define ourselves by even the good things we do. Achievements, acts of service, and personal successes—while valuable—do not determine our worth or identity. Instead, they remind us that our true identity lies in our sonship to the Father. Through conversation and Biblical wisdom, they challenge us to let go of performance-based identity and rest in the unshakable truth of being God’s children. Tune in to discover how to live from a place of grace, not striving, and walk fully in the freedom of your identity in Christ.
