Identity is a popular term used in society today. People "identify" themselves by so many different things - job title, ministry, family placement, career, gender, sexual orientation, race, cultural background, educational level, medical diagnosis, personal addiction...the list goes on.Do you find yourself questioning your true identity? Do you compare what you see when you look at yourself to the person you see behind a screen in your hand, or on your desk or mounted to your wall?Do you find yourself wondering if you'd be better off in someone else's skin, body, shoes? When identity is placed on worldly labels and categories things can get confusing, conflicted, complicated and unnecessarily competitive, among other non-fun things. But when your identity is determined by the One who designed and created you, gave you a name and looks upon you with awe and love, there's a supernatural exchange of favor and power that moves your life on a path no one or nothing can separate you from. When you are rooted in the truth of who God says you are, everything in life takes on a new look. Your perspective shifts. Your confidence grows. Decisions become more sound and saturated in wisdom. This is what living in true identity looks like. Today, we hear from my wonderful friend Amy who shares how life with God is a series of conversations that lead us to know more of who he is and who we are. In this, we are better able to hear his voice above our own and walk in our true identity - which is an area of life that never stops developing.

Happy Valentine's Day, Beautiful! Thank you so much for joining me today on this episode of Flourishing! Today, I wanted to give you a sneak peak on a conversation I had with my wonderful friend and life coach - Dawnella. Dawnella is a gift to those who know her, who experience her. She speaks from the deepest parts of her heart and shares the intimate conversations she has with God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. That may sound like something too good to be true, or maybe too weird for you, but Dawnella explains how she’s able to have such a deep relationship with the Trinity. She also reveals the effect this kind of relationship has on her life - a life filled with love, joy and peace that doesn't make sense. What she shares is available to you and I too. I’m really looking forward to you hearing what she has to say.I highly suggest you grab a pen and paper, or open your note app on your phone…there will be plenty of things to write down. If you have any thoughts or questions please don’t hesitate to leave a comment or send me a DM on the Flourishing Soul Collective IG account. Well, Beautiful, let’s keep exploring how we can live well and love better, starting with ourselves.
