In a world that constantly tells us to define ourselves by our careers, achievements, failures, relationships, sexuality, status, or possessions, it's easy to lose sight of who we truly are.

In this episode of the Meant To Live Podcast, hosts Paulo Cardoso and Nathan Weaver explore one of the most important questions every person must answer: Who am I?

Together, they discuss why so many people build their identity on things that can change or be taken away, and how lasting peace, confidence, and purpose come from understanding who God says we are. As men created intentionally in the image and likeness of God, our identity is not something we earn—it is something we receive.

Whether you're feeling lost, searching for purpose, struggling with self-worth, or simply wanting a deeper understanding of your value, this conversation will challenge you to look beyond labels and discover the freedom that comes from knowing you are loved, chosen, and created for a purpose.
