When we don’t have an identity or a plan, Ro Remedios says, we’re just “spitballing” life from one day to the next – drifting from vulnerable whims to reckless impulses. But when we find our identity in Christ, we discover our true purpose and the drive to chase after it. A pastor in Staten Island, New York, Ro sits down with Nate Dewberry this week to talk about discovering our true identity in Christ and what it takes to live it out. From daily prayer to intense physical activity, Ro shares what keeps him growing. And at the center of it all? A deep awareness of the forgiveness Jesus offered long before we knew to ask for it.
